Abstract
In this paper, a simultaneous approach to choose optimal number of wind based Distributed Generation (DG) units and their locations is proposed with an objective of minimizing annual energy loss in a distribution network. Most of the methods developed so far for optimal allocation of DG units assumed constant DG output and network load profile which is unreal. Optimal DG sizes and locations found with above assumptions would not lead to minimum annual energy loss when employed in realistic scenario where there is uncertainty in the DG output power generation and network loads have a time-varying load profile. In this work, wind based generation units are considered as the DG sources for allocation. In order to gauge the effect of uncertainty in wind power generation and time-varying load profile on optimal DG allocation problem, a meta-heuristic method which employs Harmony Search algorithm is used to solve multiple wind based DG units. Performance and effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by carrying out simulations on 33-bus and 69-bus radial distribution systems. Simulation results indicate that consideration of uncertainty in wind power generation and time varying load profile significantly affects location and size of DG resources in distribution systems.

Continuous Overvoltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips

Volume 5 Issue 4 September - November 2017 Research Paper Continuous Overvoltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips Cengiz Polat* Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey. Uzunoglu, C. P. (2017). Continuous Over Voltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips.  i-manager’s Journal on Circuits and Systems,  5(4), 1-7.  https://doi.org/10.26634/jcir.5.4.13938 Abstract Increasing applications of constantly developing electronic devices require delicate voltage and current protection. Although the electrical network is monitored continuously, undesired over currents and over voltages may occur on the distribution system due to failures. Most of the electronic switch gear is connected via surge protected power strips in indoor applications, where current protection is vital. Surge protected power strips are usually manufactured based on Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) ...
