Electrical Engineering Department at UOT grants MSc to the student (Mithaq Abdelali Kazem) for his thesis tagged:

(Self-Healing For Smart Grid Distribution System in Samawa City)

The discussion committee consisted of:

 - Prof. Dr. Ali Abd Al-Abbas Abdullah / the head

- Assist. Prof. Dr. / Suad Ibrahim Shahal / Member

-  Dr. Muhammad Khudair Abd / Member

 - Assist. Prof. Dr. Thamer Mohamed Abdel-Wahhab / supervisor and member

The thesis introduces the use of two programs; the first one is the CYME which is used to simulate and analyze a distribution network. The second program is MATLAB 2017b / Simulink which is used to implement smart grid protection (self-healing), by installing the intelligent protection system which is controlled remotely by the controller software. And also to implement the method of particle swarm optimization (PSO), to calculate the optimum location and size of the distribution generator (DG) to obtain minimum active power losses and optimize the voltage profile.

The most important findings of the researcher are computational load flow design and energy recovery analyzes. The problem is divided into two processes. Recovery process (reduces power failure) and reconfiguration process (improves power quality). To achieve the following goals; Maximum consumer connection, minimal power loss, and reduced number of switching operations
