Reliability assessment tools are of crucial importance for planning and modernisation of
distribution power systems. In recent years there has been an increased deployment of …

A microgrid is a typical cyber-physical system. The coordinated control of each unit in a
microgrid mainly relies on the cyber system. Once performance degradation of the cyber …

We present a probabilistic assessment of power distribution systems resilience under
different weather conditions. It is based on Monte Carlo simulation considering failures and …

This paper proposes differential search (DS) algorithm to solve distribution system reliability
optimization problem. Optimum number and location of remote control switch (RCS) have …

With the growth of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in electrical systems, an increase in
the benefits with the reconfiguration of radial networks related to the use of renewable …

An optimal planning model of the sectional switch and tie line for the distribution network is
proposed considering the tradeoff between the system reliability and economy. First, the …

The reliability assessment helps to determine the existing power system reliability.
Equipment failures may decrease reliability and the major contributory factors for power …
