A Two-Layered Neighborhood Tabu Search Based Method for Distribution Network Expansion Planning with DG

A Neighborhood Expansion Tabu Search Algorithm Based On Genetic Factors

We provide an improved algorithm called “a neighborhood expansion tabu search algorithm based on genetic factors” (NETS) to solve traveling salesman problem. The algorithm keeps the traditional tabu algorithm’s neighborhood, ensure the algorithm’s strong climbing ability and go to the local optimization. At the same time, introduce the genetic algorithm’s genetic factor (crossover factor and va...

Transmission Network Expansion Planning Under a Tabu Search Approach

This paper describes an implementation of Tabu Search to cope with long-term transmission network expansion planning problems. Tabu Search is a metaheuristic proposed in 1989 to be applied to combinatorial problems. To assess the potential of our approach we will test it with two cases of transmission network expansion planning. The results obtained by our approach let us to conclude that TS is...

DG integrated multistage distribution system expansion planning

In this paper, a framework is presented to solve the problem of multistage distribution system expansion planning in which installation and/or reinforcement of substations, feeders and distributed generation units are taken into consideration as possible solutions for system capacity expansion. The proposed formulation considers investment, operation, and outage costs of the system. The expansi...

A Simplex-Based Tabu Search Method for Capacitated Network Design

The fixed charge capacitated multicommodity network design problem is a well-known problem, of both practical and theoretical significance. This paper presents an efficient procedure to determine tight upper bounds on the optimal solution of realistically sized problem instances. Feasible solutions are obtained by using a tabu search framework that explores the space of the continuous flow vari...
