Smart grid has been introduced to address power distribution system challenges. In conventional power distribution systems, when a power outage happens, the maintenance team tries to find the outage cause and mitigate it. After this, some information is documented in a dataset called the outage dataset. If the team can estimate the outage cause before searching for it, the restoration time will...

Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is the remote collection of consumption data from customer’s utility meters over telecommunications, radio, power line and other links. AMR provides water, electric and gas utility−service companies the opportunities to streamline metering, billing and collection activities, increase operational efficiency and improve customer service. Utility company uses technolo...

due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent years, the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapidly increased. in order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the size and location of local generation to be placed. minimizing the losses in the system would bring two types of saving, in real life, one is ...
