One of the big concerns when planning the expansion of power distribution systems (PDS)
is reliability. This is defined as the ability to continuously meet the load demand of …

Due to its high impact on the cost of electricity and its direct correlation with customer
satisfaction, distribution reliability continues to be one of the most important topics in the …

Part of the second edition of The Electric Power Engineering Handbook, Power System
Stability and Control offers conveniently focused and detailed information covering all …

A power system is highly susceptible to system irregularities such as control failure, security
system failure, instabilities, and inadvertent human errors. Ensuring the reliability of the …

Cellular base stations (BSs) are equipped with backup batteries to obtain the uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) and maintain the power supply reliability. While maintaining the …

This paper proposes a new method for reliability evaluation of active distribution systems
with multiple microgrids based on a Monte Carlo simulation. Multi-state models are …

Generation expansion planning in the power system is of particular importance. In traditional
systems, investment in the generation expansion was made by the electricity company, but …

This paper presents a linearized, three-phase, distribution class state estimation algorithm
for applications in smart distribution systems. Unbalanced three-phase cases and single …

The paper presents a reliability-network-equivalent approach to distribution-system-
reliability assessment. In this technique, a general feeder is defined and a simple set of …

This paper proposes a methodology for placement of sectionalizing switches in distribution
networks in the presence of distributed generation sources. The multiobjective …
