The studied cases include unbalances of the cable phases in current amplitudes, in phase shifts and in both of them. The impact of the induced potential on the pipelines has been highlighted in terms of the degree of unbalance, the composition of backfill soils surrounding the cables and pipelines as well as the separation distance between cables and pipelines. In addition, the impacts of homogeneous or heterogeneous soil and the cable laying depth on the induced voltage are investigated. The model simulation is executed by the use of the 2D-FEM with COMSOL multi-physics program. Significant increase in the induced voltages affecting buried metal pipes near the cable path is observed when there is imbalance in cable phases. The induced voltage reaches 32.24, 28.84, and 19.6 times the permissible value in cases of unbalanced 33 kV, 11 kV and 0.4 kV respectively with sandy soil as backfill material. It is found that the induced voltage depends on the soil composition, the space between the cables and PLs, in addition to the unbalance of cable phases. The safe distances between distribution cables and the pipelines have been examined and recommendations are made for safe distances. Installing cables inside PVC ducts mitigates the induced voltage by about 33.81% to 32% of its value.

In this paper, we present a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model that optimizes the selection and deployment of portable power sources and temporary lines for repairing and restoring unbalanced distribution systems following natural disasters. Our approach features a pre-processing step that systematically identifies potential (i.e., candidate) lines and buses suitable for temporary measures, thereby confining the main optimization to a tractable set of possibilities.

Traditional standalone Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms repeatedly suffered from poor adaptability, slow dynamic response under varying conditions, and insufficient harmonic reduction. These limitations degraded grid performance and inefficient energy withdrawal from PV systems. To overcome these challenges, this research proposes a novel hybrid approach that integrates Gradient Descent optimization with a Fuzzy Logic Controller (GD-FLC). The proposed controller is applied to a 100-kW grid connected PV system, incorporating an LC filter and MPPT-based boost converter to adjust voltage and improve power quality. The proposed GD-FLC attains fastest MPPT tracking time (0.29 s) under irradiance variation, and (0.28 s) under load variation, along with the lowest average rise time (0.0117 s). Similarly, it achieved output energy (160.72KJ) under step variation and 150.49KJ under ramp variation, clearly outperforming existing MPPT techniques.

This paper analyzes the impact of advanced firing on commutation processes and the CF risk for individual CPs under asymmetric faults, pointing out that for low-risk CPs, the benefit of reduced reactive power consumption without advanced firing outweighs the benefit of implementing advanced firing to ensure successful commutation. Thus, a novel method is proposed to enhance CF resistance capability by optimizing advanced firing application. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, it is applied to both direct and indirect advanced firing control approaches.
