An important step toward a smart grid is the “smart” application of manual or automated sectionalizing switches, which can be operated in contingency conditions in order to improve the reliability indices. However, electric utilities do not have well-defined criteria for allocation of such devices. In this paper, annual financial losses related to process trips (AFLPT) are assessed taking into account—in...
The communication system is the key element in an electric power system that supports its observability and controllability. Communication failures pose serious risks in electric power system operations. It is therefore crucial to study the adverse effects of communication system failures on power system operation. This is especially for wide-area monitoring, control and protection applications where...
Both severity and frequency of disasters in highly-dense industries such as ready-made garment factories have increased to an alarming level in recent times. Technological advancement addresses a number of aspects of post-disaster rescue missions for such events, however, facilitating the missions through providing real-time information about the survivors to the first responders is yet to be focused...
Small cells deployments, at carrier frequencies much higher than the current cellular deployments, featuring electronically steerable transmit and receive antenna arrays offering high-gain beam-forming, are likely to form the basis of next generation cellular networks (sometimes referred to as 5G). This shift to smaller cells and high-gain directional transmit/receive technologies will be accompanied...
The increased penetration of wind turbine generators into the electric power grid affects the operational reserve requirements due to the high variability of this resource. With the development of wind prediction technologies, it is now possible to get accurate estimates for wind power output and, therefore, operational reserve requirements can be calculated for hours in advance. This paper focuses...
