The peak-load management of a distribution network (DN) has gained attention by increasing the electric power consumption on demand side. By developing smart-grid infrastructures, effective utilization DN’s components and proper DN would create valuable solution for operators. Hence, in this paper, framework is proposed which real-time rating voltage-dependent features loads help operator handl...

A simplified dynamic thermal analysis approach is proposed for the estimation of the peak junction temperature in power IGBT transistors operating in pulse-width modulation (PWM) controlled DC/AC converters. This approach can be used for the rating of electron devices or heatsink systems in power circuit design, as it provides a direct analytical link, in terms of electrical and thermal device ...

A static security assessment approach considering electro-thermal coupling of transmission lines is proposed in this paper. Combined with the dynamic thermal rating technology and energy forecasting, the approach can track both the electrical variables and transmission lines’ temperature varying trajectory under anticipated contingencies. Accordingly, it identifies the serious contingencies by ...
