The feasibility study of upgrading primary feeders from radial and open loop to a normally
closed-loop arrangement have been explored in this paper. First, three possible feeder …

Power distribution systems should meet demands such as high reliability, efficiency, and
penetration of renewable energy generators (REGs) in a smart grid. In general, power …

This paper deals with photovoltaic (PV) power plant modeling and its integration into the
medium-voltage distribution network. Apart from solar cells, a simulation model includes a …

There has been a growing interest in the deployment of phasor measurement units (PMUs)
not only in high-voltage transmission, but in lower-voltage distribution systems. For a …

The expected increase in renewable energy sources (RESs) and electric vehicles (EVs)
connected to distribution systems will result in many technical constraints. A meshed …

The closed-loop distribution system has become a trend, owing to increasing demands of
electric power reliability in high-tech parks or in metropolitan areas. Harmonic propagation …

The paper proposes the protection schemes for closed loop distribution network with
distributed generators. Generally, Most of distribution networks are operated in radial or …

This thesis considers the use of medium-voltage power electronic compensation at
distribution network voltage levels (11kV) for the improvement of power quality, reliability …

This work proposes a load transfer scheme for radial distribution feeders with distributed
generation units. A distribution feeder may be operated with distributed generation units in …

An impedance converter composed of active and passive filters is proposed in this paper,
which mimics the characteristics of an infinite transmission line, so as to eliminate the …
