Spinning Reserve is one of the most important sources used by system operators in response to unforeseen events such as generation discontinuities and sudden load changes. It is possible to maintain the power system against ...

Power systems must be protected against faults to ensure quality and reliable generation, transmission and distribution of power systems. Power system protection is provided by the protection relays. This paper is the ...

Protection coordination is the heart of all power systems. To ensure a quality and reliable operation of the power systems, an electrical fault must be cleared within a short time. This can be achieved by proper coordination ...

The future smart power grid where Distributed Generations (DGs) are highly integrated and self-healing is required is intended to provide reliable and quality power in economic and environmentally friendly manner. This ...

The steady development in the liberalization of the energy sector has made it necessary to consider new policies on energy planning and to consider some socio-economic costs in addition to production costs. These socio-economic ...

This paper proposes a new method to assess the reliability of closed-ring grids by combining the total loss of continuity approach and the classical Monte Carlo simulation. The proposed method is called the Modified Monte ...

The future distribution networks (DNs), commonly known as the smart grid is expected to be reliable, efficient, and can accommodate renewable energy resources. The smart distribution network has to withstand the technical ...

This paper presents a comprehensive empirical study of five different distribution functions to analysis the wind energy potential, namely, Rayleigh, Gamma, Extreme Value, Logistic, and T Location-Scale. In ...

Renewable Energy Sources (RES) are growing steadily in power systems, which is expected to meet most of the electricity demand in the future. Today, solar and wind energy sources are spreading at a great speed, which creates ...

Historical reliability assessment, which is based on past real data, is vital for utilities since it reflects the system's operational behavior best. Therefore, most utilities prefer historical reliability assessment rather ...
