The completely Electric Power System encompass three parts: Generation, Transmission, and Distribution that all require maintenance to better system reliability and energy efficiency. Most generation maintenance scheduling (GMS) packages consider preventive maintenance scheduling for generating units over one or two year's time horizon to lessen the total operation costs while fulfilling system energy requirements. In […]
DG (dispersed generation) application has received increasing attention during recent years. The impact of DG on various aspects of distribution system characteristics depends highly on DG location in distribution feeder. This paper presents an optimization method to determine long term optimal DG placement in distribution systems in which system reliability and operational constraints as well […]
