Increased penetration levels of Distributed Generation (DG) causes protection related challenges on distribution systems. In this project, the issues of Relay Desensitization on a power distribution system is revisited and reconfirmed using a modified . . .

Increased penetration of Distributed Generation (DG) raises the total I2t levels on the power distribution network. Increased level of I2t is directly related to the stress levels impressed on the equipment during short circuit faults. In this project . . .

The industry and technology of high-voltage alternative current (HVAC) transmission lines have evolved over 100 years in the United States and many parts of the world, requiring new engineering and economical solutions. This report presents some of th . . .

The purpose of this project is to investigate arc flash hazards and methods of mitigation. The definition of arc flash will be presented and, the parameters that must be determined during arc flash studies will be discussed. These parameters include i . . .

The purpose of this project is designing educational software that teaches design and analysis of electric power systems running on mobile platforms. To the best of our knowledge, no mobile platform exists for this purpose. This project examines the d . . .

In this project, a novel method predicting voltage collapse named Wide-Area Loss Index (WALI) will be tested on IEEE 3-machine 9-bus system and IEEE 10-machine 39-bus system. A region of interest is considered for voltage criteria calculation. The sim . . .

The rise of renewable energy sources being attached to the distribution side of power systems is changing the way old radial protection schemes work. The purpose of this paper is to explore how Distributed Generation (DG) can change the timing operati . . .

This project provides two methods evaluating the mean life of a group of power system equipment using normal and Weibull distribution only by end-of-life failure data based on paper [1]. The procedure of the methods of normal and Weibull distribution . . .
