Outdoor HV composite polymeric insulators
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the recent performance experience of HV composite polymeric insulators in outdoor service, testing methods, aging, the ranking of the materials, the role of fillers, low molecular weight components present in the insulators, mechanisms responsible for the loss and recovery of hydrophobicity, one of the most important properties of polymers, the mechanisms of failure, detection of faults, type and quantity of natural contaminants, effects of exposure to rain, hydrocarbons, stationary air and wind, various methods to optimize the electrical performance and a

Feeder reconfiguration for loss reduction: an application of distribution automation
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of various methods applied to feeder reconfiguration for loss minimization is presented, and it is shown that linear programming, in the form of transportation algorithms, is not suitable for real-time application to feeders, whereas heuristic approaches, although not optimal, can provide substantial savings if properly formulated and are suited for realtime implementation.

The loss and recovery of hydrophobicity of RTV silicone rubber insulator coatings
TL;DR: In this paper, a study on the loss and recovery of hydrophobicity of RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing) silicone-rubber insulator coatings in a salt-fog chamber is reported.

A new technique for loss reduction using compensating capacitors applied to distribution systems with varying load condition
TL;DR: In this article, a new method based on a heuristic technique for reactive loss reduction in distribution network is presented, which allocates capacitors to certain nodes (sensitive nodes) which are selected by first identifying the branch which has the largest losses due to reactive power.

New transmission planning model
H. K. Youssef,Reuben Hackam +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model for optimal long-range transmission planning is proposed, which is capable of dealing with both static and dynamic modes of transmission planning, and an accurate nonlinear cost function for the system is formulated.
