Network planning algorithms should, but do not always, inherently consider outage mitigation in terms of switch and reserve connection placement. This paper outlines our approach, which is close to optimum but not exhaustive, in that the main aim is to accurately enough imbed outage mitigation in the planning algorithm so that the lines are in the right place. The methodology involves placing backup...
A novel fast enumeration based reliability assessment algorithm based on a probabilistic load flow approach considering nodal uncertainties is proposed in this paper. The frequency and duration indices for each load point and the expected energy not supplied as well as the expected interruption costs are derived with the proposed methodology. By reducing the number of necessary system states a huge...
Implementation of distribution automation (DA) in electric power distribution systems can result in customer satisfaction with improved reliability, consistent quality and high-tech services. Loop restoration strategy (LRS) is a special DA method in the feeder level which is used by electric utilities to improve distribution system reliability. The effects of the implemented LRS on the reliability...
Providing distributed electricity within today's liberalized markets will require new innovations in intelligent IT-based network control. This paper draws on research on Large Technological Systems and control in other sectors in order to analyze the evolution of electricity network control in western Denmark and the UK during the post-War period. It concludes that network control has not yet been...
Feeder Automation (FA) has been recognized by researchers and utilities as one of the attractive remedial measures to enhance service reliability in the electric power distribution systems. Until now, several kinds of FA schemes have been developed for automating of distribution feeders. They can be categorized into three main approaches: semiautomatic, distributed and centralized schemes. The challenge...
Electricity supply reliability and interruption costs are nowadays of great interest. Large blackouts around the world have aroused also customers' interest in the reliability of distribution networks. In addition to this, reliability worth values are widely used in the regulation of distribution companies, and they can offer an excellent tool for focusing the network investments on the most critical...
