In this study, a two-stage methodology based on the energy savings gained by optimal network reconductoring was developed for the sizing and allocation of electric vehicle (EV) charging load at the residential locations in urban distribution systems....
Electricity distribution systems face increasing challenges due to demand growth, regulatory requirements, and the integration of distributed generation. In this context, distribution companies must make strategic and well-supported investment decisi...
The continuous distribution ability of electricity is defined as the effectiveness of the computation of reliability indices. Therefore, we conducted a reliability assessment and evaluated the performance of the distribution system in the Freeport Ar...
Industrial development and population growth have increased the need for higher-capacity power transmission lines. Aluminum conductor steel-supported (ACSS) conductors, a type of high-temperature low-sag (HTLS) conductor, are now widely used in new d...
Transmission networks recently faced new technical and economic challenges. The direct use of advanced technologies and modern methods could solve these issues. This paper discusses the potential application of straightforward technology such as high...
Expansion of photovoltaic (PV) generation is increasing the challenge for network operators to keep voltages within operational limits. Voltage rise occurs in low voltage (LV) networks when distributed generators export, particularly at times of low...
This article proposes a framework that uses analytical assessment of reliability to guide the expansion planning of power distribution systems (PDS) considering reliability criteria. The framework allows the estimation of reliability indices with and...
Nowadays, distribution network operators are urged by regulatory authorities to reduce the load disruptions due to extreme weather events, i.e., to enhance network resilience: in particular, in Italy they are required to present a yearly plan (called...
