Abstract: This paper presents an improved technique for optimal planning of substations and primary feeders in power distribution systems. The technique employs an accurate, time-phased cost model and incorporates a flexible planning formulation which suits detailed analysis of limited sized distribution networks as well as approximate analysis of large scale distribution networks. The cost model includes explicit time-dependent fixed and variable charges for planned facilities as well as the cost of power losses. The planning formulation incorporates user-defined constraints on voltage drop in primary feeders. Constraints on radial power flow are automatically set by the algorithm. The planning problem is solved using an advanced, sparsity-based mixed-integer linear programming code.

TL;DR: A bibliography is presented on the subject of power system analysis from a Probabilistic point of view, focusing on probabilistic loadflow, probabilists short circuit, and probabilism dynamic analysis (probabilistic security).

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of evaluating power cable loading performance subject to variations of the thermal circuit parameters is formulated and solved by a fast sensitivity technique based on the finite element method, which provides useful sensitivity information which can be accessed and manipulated by the cable designer or operator to simulate, in a simple and efficient manner, various soil, ambient, loading and boundary variations.

TL;DR: A comprehensive bibliography on the subject of composite system reliability and closely related topics is presented in this paper, which is believed to fill a gap which exists in the literature, since approximately 2/3 of the items registered here have not appeared in previously published bibliographies on power system reliability.
