The issues of prospective operation of the city electric networks in the conditions of the MART GRID, which will be quite different as compared to the traditional understanding and approaches, are under consideration. This requires the selection and application of appropriate analytical criteria and approaches to assessment, analysis and control of the networks. With this regard the following criteria are recommended: in a particular case – the optimal (minimal) technological electric power consumption (losses), while in general – economically reasonable (minimal) cost value of electric power transmission. It should be also borne in mind that contemporary urban networks are actively saturated with distributed sources of small generation that have radically changed the structure of electrical networks; therefore, account for such sources is an absolutely necessary objective of management regimes of urban electric networks, both traditional and in associated with the SMART GRID. A case of the analysis and control of urban electric 10 kV networks with distributed small sources of generation has been developed and presented according to the theoretical criterion of minimum relative active power losses in the circuit as a control case. The conducted research makes it possible to determine the magnitude of the tolerance network mode from the point of the theoretical minimum.

The structure, circuit-design solutions and information support of the city electric networks in the conditions of the SMART GRID have been analyzed. It is demonstrated that the new conditions of functioning of electric power engineering, increasing demands for its technological state and reliability in most countries determined the transition to a restructuring of electrical networks to be based on the SMART GRID (intelligent power networks) innovative new structure. The definitions of the SMART GRID, its various attributes and characteristics in most developed countries including Belarus are presented. It is revealed that the existing and future circuit and constructive solutions that can automate the process of managing modes of urban electric networks under the SMART GRID conditions are manifold. At present, the most common in distribution networks are the sources of distributed generation (combustion turbines, wind turbines, photovoltaic installations, mini-hydro, etc.). The patterns and problems of information traceability of a traditional urban networks of the unified energy system of Belarus have been analyzed, and it is demonstrated that in the conditions of the SMART GRID most of the problems of the control mode that are characteristic for traditional distribution networks 6–10 kV and 0.38 kV, lose their relevance. Therefore, the present article presents and features the main directions of development of automatic control modes of the SMART GRID.

The electric power industry development mean increases the electric grids flexibility through the use of various devices type (FACTS) controlled by means of power electronics and being an element of the Smart Grid. This type of device includes a phaseshifting transformer (PST), which redistributes power flows in the branches of electrical networks. In connection with the relevance of this topic, new technical solutions appear that implement similar functions, which entails the need for a comparative analysis of such developments in order to optimize the energy characteristics of this kind of equipment. The aim of the work is to develop schematic version of the PST made according to the "star" scheme and analyze its operation in typical modes. During the study, the energy characteristics of the device were determined. The possibility of reducing the typical power of the phase-shifting device due to the use of capacitive compensation is analyzed.

Rail electrification network, within the concept of smart grid, integrates various technologies and is operated in an environment where the behavior and failure modes of the system are difficult to model. It has been proven that modern electrical networks are rather complex, involving multi-dependencies between components (also called system variables) and uncertainties about these dependencies. Modeling and quantification of the reliability for a large system, which requires the handling of dependencies and uncertainties is a complex task, especially for the system where high availability is required. System design includes historical experiences and evidence; therefore, system correctly performs its intended functions. However, wrong method or system model for the purpose of reliability analysis can lead to over or underestimation of the system reliability. In this work, Hierarchical Bayesian Networks are applied to model and assess the reliability of a large and complex rail electrification network and the reliability critical items are identified.

To tackle the widespread challenges encountered during the management of power flow in electrical networks, the integration of smart grid (S.G)            is proposed as a viable solution to address the environmental and economic concerns. In order to enhance overall functionality of the electric power delivery system, operation of the smart grid is governed by data-driven algorithms where various sensors and smart meters are used to collect this data. On other hand, the fluctuating cost of fossil fuels and its negative impact on the environnement has incentivized the exploitation of renewable energies in the smart grid. In the present paper, a hybrid Photovoltaic/Wind (PV/Wind) is suggested to supply a smart grid. The objective of this study is to asses the feasibility of a smart grid supplied solely by renewable energy sources. Conceptual standings of this newly suggested model are validated by simulations.

The restoration and development of Iraq's electric power industry is planned to be carried out on the basis of the concept of intelligent electric networks (smart grid). To implement this concept, it is necessary to create integrated digital models of electrical networks. Such models can be implemented on the basis of methods and tools for modeling electric power systems in phase coordinates. The report presents the results of modeling normal and emergency modes of distribution electric networks of 11 kV.
