        1 - Reconfiguration of Distribution Network in Deregulated Environment in the Presence of DGs

        Distribution system companies (DISCOs) can reduce their cost by reconfiguration as the economic way for loss reduction. This paper presents a new method for reducing DISCO costs in deregulated environment by loss reduction and power generation control of Distributed Generators (DGs). Because of changing the price of energy in this environment, different network load levels with different prices were considered. This complex optimization problem is solved by a new method based on shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA). Also, influence of DG presence on objective function and load flow is considered. The proposed method is applied to IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus test systems to decrease the activity cost of DISCO in deregulated environment and its capability relative to other methods is shown.

        In this paper, the modal analysis of a grid connected doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) using small signal stability analysis is presented and effect of variation in system parameters such as mutual inductance, stator resistance, line reactance, shaft stiffness and wind speed on the eigenvalues, stability and damping ratio of different modes of system are studied. This analysis shows that which parameters variation can deviate the system from normal working conditions as well as which parameters variation can improve the system behavior. For evaluating the stability and different controllers design, the simulation results show the effects of parameters variations. Manuscript profile

        3 - Design of a Secondary Controller Based on Distributed Cooperative Control of Distributed Generators (DGs) with Multi-Agent Systems Approach Considering DoS Cyber Attacks
        Abdollah Mirzabeigi Ali Kazemy Mehdi Ramezani Seyed Mohammad Azimi
        Today, in many control methods, neighboring system information is used for better control and synchronization between different units, and therefore, in the access and transmission of information through communication links, problems such as disruption, uncertainty, noi More
        Today, in many control methods, neighboring system information is used for better control and synchronization between different units, and therefore, in the access and transmission of information through communication links, problems such as disruption, uncertainty, noise, delay, and cyber-attacks occur. In this paper, the effect of the Denial of Service (DoS) cyber-attack on the microgrid in island mode is investigated and a cooperative distributed hierarchical controller is designed with the presence of this cyber-attack. Distributed Generations (DGs) have been analyzed with the help of multi-agent systems and the communication network between them using graph theory. The effects of the DoS cyber-attack on the model of DGs are mathematically formulated and in proving the stability and synchronization of frequency and voltage, the suitable Lyapunov function is presented and the stability analysis of DGs against these cyber-attacks is performed and the stability and synchronization conditions of DGs are proved. To confirm the proposed theoretical issues, a case study model is simulated despite the DoS attack on the communicative links in Matlab Simulink, and the results show the performance of the designed controller in different conditions.
