The use of renewable energy sources has increased year-on-year. Thus, there is an increasing rate of small generating units connected directly to distribution networks and micro-grids close to consumers. At the same time, these micro-sources must provide stability and reliability of electrical energy to the power network to which they are connected. In the technical literature, several studies have been done to ensure power systems with traditional generating sources to operate in a stable and reliable way, but there is an issue regarding generation uncertainty when a distribution system has many micro-sources. This is because of the uncertainty of primary sources, for example, wind and radiation intensity, and could result in intermittent generation. In this study, stability and reliability of voltage in a power system with distributed generation is analysed using simulation techniques. In the proposed method in this study voltage security analysis is jointly considered with probability laws. Moreover reliability theory is also considered in the proposed voltage collapse analysis methodology. The responsibility of generator in the voltage collapse process, the probabilistic risk of voltage collapse of each operating point and the probability of enlarging the system load as a function of different operating points are the outcome of the methodology, and it is validated by using the IEEE34 test feeder.

T he aim of this paper is a biographical analysis of the scientific publications between the years 2000 to 2010 which had as central theme the feminine and women in six major journals in the field of management in Brazil. The journals surveyed were Cadernos EBAPE, Revista de Administração Contemporânea, Revista de Administração de Empresas, Revista de Administração Mackenzie, Revista Organizações & Sociedade e Revista de Administração da Universidade de São Paulo. They were grouped into three thematic areas, following the criteria of content analysis. It is concluded that most of the articles analyzed approaches of liberal and radical feminist movements. Only one article has proximity to post-structuralism and post-colonialism. However, we cannot say that the articles are ideal representatives of these currents. Finally, there is a lack of research that relate class and race to feminine's issues, as well studies that search feminine in men.
