Distribution feeder reconfiguration has been an active field of research for many years. Some recent theoretical studies have highlighted the importance of smart reconfiguration for the operating conditions of such radial networks. In general, this problem has been tackled using a multi-objective formulation with simplified assumptions, in which the uncertainties related to network components h...

A Radial Distribution network is important in power system area because of its simple design and reduced cost. Impact of Distributed generation in radial distribution feeder is increased because of its application of green technology and it also meet out some of the power system issues. Allocation of Distributed Generation at non-optimal places leads to increased power loss and reduced bus volt...

in this article, a multi-objective function for placement of distributed generation (dg) and capacitors with thetap setting of under load tap changer (ultc) transformer is introduced. most of the recent articles have paidless attention to dg, capacitor placement and ultc effects in the distribution network simultaneously. insimulations, a comparison between different modes was carried out with,...

Background: Transradial access is one of the main access techniques in angiography. This method is technically more difficult as it is associated with radial artery occlusion. Radial artery cannulation from the dorsal surface of the hand in the snuffbox area has been introduced as a suitable solution to overcome some of the disadvantages of the standard radial artery method. This study was cond...

We examine the radial distribution of the Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) using a method that is insensitive to observational bias effects. This technique allows the use of the discovery distances of all KBOs, independent of orbital classification or discovery circumstance. We verify the presence of an outer edge to the Kuiper Belt, as reported in other works, and we measure this edge to be at given...

The radial distribution function of liquid sodium has been studied by considering the integral equation Perturbation Theory of Madden and Fitts for the reference part and the optimised cluster theory for the attractive part of the pair potential. Calculations were carried out for the long range oscillatory potential of Schiff. The calculated results are compared with the molecular dynamics calc...

Load flow is a very significant and essential tool for the analysis of any power system and is used in the operational as well as development stages. In this work, a modified load flow method is formulated for radial distribution systems. The topological characteristics of distribution systems are employed to make proposed load flow solution possible. The proposed method makes use of two matric...

A semi-analytical iterative method as one of the newest analytical methods is used for the elastic analysis of thick-walled spherical pressure vessels made of functionally graded materials subjected to internal pressure. This method is accurate, fast and has a reasonable order of convergence. It is assumed that material properties except Poisson’s ratio are graded through the thickness directio...

Radial distribution systems (RDS) require special load flow methods to solve power flow equations owing to their high R/X ratio. Increasing use of power electronic devices and effect of magnetic saturation cause harmonics in RDS. This paper proposes a novel algorithm to compute the power flow solution of a RDS accounting for all the harmonic components. It uses a recursive solution technique. T...

in this article, thermo-elastic-behavior of a thick-walled cylinder made from a polystyrene nanocomposite reinforced with functionally graded (fg) single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) was carried out in radial direction while subjected to a steady state thermal field. the swcnts were assumed aligned, straight with infinite length and a uniform layout. two types of variations in the volume fr...
