This paper presents an improved metaheuristic method for the optimal sitting and sizing of the distributed generators (DG) in radial distribution networks (RDNs). The proposed technique has based on novel algorithm called ...

Contemporary smart-grid based distribution network have an interconnected topology aiming at reliable supply to the consumers. For such system this research work proposes an improved voltage stability index (VSI) for not ...

The integration of distributed generation in an islanded microgrid (MG) presents new challenges of control. Droop control is a widely used control in the hierarchical framework in a microgrid. However, droop control has ...

Epoxy and its composites have expressed exceptional qualities for usage in high-voltage outdoor insulation applications. However, the organic structure of epoxy based insulators is deteriorated due to UV-A radiations in ...

Water and heat are the most degrading factors for the outdoor insulators. Whenever the insulators are placed in an outdoor field, they are subjected to severe mechanical compression which affects the dielectric properties. ...

Renewable resources are very effective to meet energy needs due to growing cost of fuel and decline in fossil fuel holds. This shifts the focus on providing affordable and authentic sources of electricity. For incorporating ...

Batteries are an important category of electrochemical storage technologies that can store electrical energy for remote on-demand consumption. Lithium-Ion Cells are one such technology, that are quickly replacing older ...

The penetration of distributed renewable energy sources (RES) in the power system has increased around the globe. This increased penetration is to address the issues of global warming, increased energy demand, reduction ...

AC Motor constitutes 60-70 percent load on any country’s National Grid. If AC motors are made efficient, then most the losses on the electric grid can be minimized. Pakistan’s overall losses are about 25 percent, which are ...

Defects in PV modules including snail trail effect might cause considerable performance degradation and should be identified and diagnosed early to avoid bigger system and financial losses. The purpose of this study is ...
