Soft Open Points (SOPs) are power electronic devices installed in place of normally-open points in electrical power distribution networks. They are able to provide active power flow control, reactive power compensation and voltage regulation under normal network operating conditions, as well as fast fault isolation and supply restoration under abnormal conditions. Two control modes were develop...

A Decentralized Technique for Autonomous Distribution Network Restoration in Presence of Coupling Neighboring Microgrids

for any agency dealing with the design of the water distribution network, an economic design will be an objective. in this research, central force optimization (cfo) and differential evolution (de) algorithm were used to optimize ismail abad water distribution network. optimization of the network has been evaluated by developing an optimization model based on cfo and de algorithm in matlab and ...

Controlling the microbiological quality of water is important for its uses. Microbiological requirements of drinking water ensure the absence of coliforms, but may indicate the potential presence of other potentially pathogenic microorganisms and viruses of fecal origin. A total of 36 water samples, representing the drinking water of the whole city of Aradan, Semnan, Iran, were randomly collect...

In the AC/DC hybrid distribution network, non-faulty areas can maintain uninterrupted power supply by adjusting control mode of voltage source converter (VSC) after a fault. addition, also be restored through network reconfiguration. To account for impact these two restoration methods on reliability accurately, this article proposed evaluation method considering VSC capability and First, optimi...

This paper proposes the problem of supply restoration in faulty power distribution systems as a benchmark for planning under uncertainty. This benchmark, which is derived from a significant realworld case, is both simple to understand and easily scalable. The goal is to reconfigure the distribution network to resupply a maximum of consumers affected by the faults. Due to sensor and actuator unc...

 Mobile sensor networks rely heavily on inter-sensor connectivity for collection of data. Nodes in these networks monitor different regions of an area of interest and collectively present a global overview of some monitored activities or phenomena. A failure of a sensor leads to loss of connectivity and may cause partitioning of the network into disjoint segments. A number of approaches have be...
