Attempts to reduce electricity cost, together with improving the efficiency of distribution systems, have led power utilities to dealing with the problem of power loss minimisation. Although losses in the system can never be entirely eliminated, they can be controlled and minimised in several ways. Research conducted in the last few decades has proven that an inclusion of Distributed Resources (DR) into distribution systems considerably lowers the level of power losses. Moreover, the choice of DR is even more attractive since it provides not only benefits in power loss minimisation, but also a wide range of other advantages including environment, …
Dynamics Of A Hydro-Wind Hybrid Isolated Power System, M Aktarujjaman, Kashem M. Muttaqi, Michael Negnevitsky, Gerard Ledwich

Implementation of Distributed Generation (DG) can improve power quality and reliability, and guarantee continuity of power supply. This paper addresses the issue of continuity of power supply especially for isolated communities. A part of a network can be electrically isolated from the main grid when the grid fails to supply power due to a fault in the network or unavailability of power generation. In this paper, a mini hydro-wind hybrid power system is considered, and operation and control of the hybrid system during connecting it with the grid as well as its operation in the isolated condition are investigated. The …
