Loading Capabilities Assesment Of Power Transmission Lines, P Hu, Michael Negnevitsky, Kashem M. Muttaqi

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

This paper reviews the factors that affect the loading capabilities of the transmission line over the short duration. The paper demonstrates how to determine the impact of various parameters on the permissible loading of bare conductors of a power transmission line. Methods for calculating these factors are presented. A sample of a practical application is also included in order to show how these factors affect the loading capabilities of a transmission line.

Distributed Generation For Minimization Of Power Losses In Distribution Systems, Kashem M. Muttaqi, An D. T Le, Michael Negnevitsky, Gerard Ledwich

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Appropriate size and location of distributed generation (DG) play a significant role in minimizing power losses in distribution systems. This paper represents techniques to minimize power losses in a distribution feeder by optimizing DG model in terms of size, location and operating point of DG. Sensitivity analysis for power losses in terms of DG size and DG operating point has been performed. The proposed sensitivity indices can indicate the changes in power losses with respect to DG current injection. The proposed techniques have been developed with considering load characteristics and representing loads with constant impedance and constant current models, separately. …
