A Distributed Self-Healing Method for Active Distribution Systems

2019 8th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA), 2019
This paper proposes a self-healing method for active and smart distribution systems. The method uses a distributed algorithm for Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (FLISR) to enhance the reliability of active distribution systems. The proposed FLISER method is designed to be implemented in the relays of the circuit breakers (CBs) of ...

Reliability Evaluation of Active Distribution Systems Including Microgrids

IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2012
This paper proposes a new method for reliability evaluation of active distribution systems with multiple microgrids based on a Monte Carlo simulation. Multi-state models are developed on the basis of Generalized Capacity Outage Tables (GCOTs) to better represent various types of distributed generators in reliability evaluation.

Asynchronous active replication in three-tier distributed systems

2002 Pacific Rim International Symposium on Dependable Computing, 2002. Proceedings., 2003
The deployment of server replicas of a service across an asynchronous distributed system (e.g., Internet) is a real practical challenge. This target cannot be indeed achieved by classical software replication techniques (e.g., passive and active replication) as these techniques usually rely on group communication toolkits that require server replicas ...

A distributed architecture for activating the peripheral nervous system

Journal of Neural Engineering, 2009
We present a new system for functional electrical stimulation (FES) applications based on networked stimulation units. They embed an advanced analog circuit, which provides multipolar and multiphasic stimulation profiles, and digital circuits, which ensure safety, locally executed programmed profiles, and communication with the master controller.

Integrating activities with neurofuzzy distributed systems

1997
The neurofuzzy system presented here has being used to develop different kinds of applications on both control and supervision tasks in the oil industry ([1], [7]). One of these applications is now in use to control ans supervise oil pumping in a oil field in Brazil. Another one is now being implemented to control process plant and it is expected to be

Distributed optimization-based control of electrical distribution systems with active distributed resources

22nd International Conference and Exhibition on Electricity Distribution (CIRED 2013), 2013
This paper describes a framework to support the electricity distribution system operator (DSO) in identifying the appropriate control strategy in a system due to the stochastic nature of the integrated intermittent distributed generation. A distributed optimization and control algorithm is applied in order to determine the look-ahead allocation of ...

Incorporating control system reliability in active management of distribution systems with distributed generation

2010 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT Europe), 2010
Several factors affect the viability of Active Management (AM) schemes in distribution systems with distributed generation. One of the critical factors is the control system reliability. While a lot of work has been done on the technical and economic aspects of active distribution network management, almost no attention has been paid to the impact of ...

Active Disk File System : A Distributed, Scalable File System

2001 Eighteenth IEEE Symposium on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies, 2001
Consistent improvements in processor and memory technology have led to disks having greater processing power and cache memory in a compact size. This increased processing power and memory allows disks to execute more than just the basic disk operations, sometimes, even run user defined codes.

Distributed Active Objects -- A Systemic Approach to Distributed Mobile Applications

2011 Eighth IEEE International Conference and Workshops on Engineering of Autonomic and Autonomous Systems, 2011
Designing cyber-physical systems (CPS) requires consideration of interactions between several computing and non-computing elements and, thus, consideration of concurrency of actions. While concurrency alone is a complexity-introducing and error-prone concept, adding awareness of real time, real space and/or mobility makes things worse: It prohibits to ...

Digital model of a distribution management system for the optimal operation of active distribution systems

IET Conference Publications, 2008
The growing interest on environmental issues and the increasing cost of fossil fuels have determined the conditions for high shares of Distributed Generation in the distribution system. Nowadays distribution networks are approaching a critical point whereby the connection of DG will require an active approach.
