Increasing redundant paths in transmission grids has always been thought to be a tool to enhance service reliability. However, network equations by intertwining power flows through redundant paths impose more limits on systems with more redundancy. Accordingly, autonomous removing of a few lines may relief capacity limit violations in some contingency events thereby enhancing service reliability....
In the smart-grid era, distribution power systems are undergoing a great deal of renovation. Utilities, more than ever before, are adopting technologies that aim primarily at enhancing the reliability of the power delivery systems in a safe and sustainable manner. In this paper, we analyze the reliability enhancements that distribution automation technologies bring to power distribution systems. We...

The reserve grid is a redundant MV grid, which serves as an emergency power system (EPS). It is designed to compensate interruptions of the MV grid or substations by offering an independent connection to an additional substation. The challenge is to find the optimal topology regarding costs and reliability. The locations of the customers and the substation have to be considered in the planning of...
DC power systems can be made more reliable by using multiple buses for redundancy. Multiple buses provide multiple configuration options for supplying power to the load. Diode OR'ing with auctioneering diodes is perhaps the most common method to connect a load to multiple buses. Although the diode action is automatic and fault-tolerant, it results in ill-defined bus currents when the bus voltages...
In this paper, the placement of sectionalizers, as well as, a cross-connection is optimally determined so that the objective function is minimized. The objective function employed in this paper consists of two main parts, the switch cost and the reliability cost. The switch cost is composed of the cost of sectionalizers and cross-connection and the reliability cost is assumed to be proportional to...
The original method of switchyard types optimization for transmission network (330 and 110 kV) is structured in the article reviewing the following aspects: 1) the principle of the method; 2) switchyard's reliability criteria; 3) algorithm of criteria calculation. This method and algorithm are appropriate for switchyard types optimization of transmission network, applying pilot technology LDM-T&G'08.
