Because of the exponential complexity, exact methods are prohibitively time-consuming. This work presents a genetic algorithm that provides a rapid answer to network managers in terms of a switching strategy to reconnect the affected area. The method takes into account the radial topology of the power flow and the operational limits of voltage and cable load. Computational tests were conducted on a real network with 96 buses and 16 switches, located within the operational area of Energy Australia. This paper describes the genetic algorithm in detail, presents thorough computational tests, and a complete contingency plan for the test network.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:01:42 AEST ]]> Capacitor placement in large-sized radial distribution networks https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1648 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:51:42 AEST ]]> A new distributed state estimation technique for power networks https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19055 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:18 AEDT ]]> Optimal allocation of battery energy storage systems in distribution networks with high wind power penetration https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29509 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:29:42 AEDT ]]> Coordinated dispatch of networked energy storage systems for loading management in active distribution networks https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28208 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:23:50 AEDT ]]>
