One of the most famous methods for minimizing power loss is distribution network reconfiguration (DNR). Accordingly, many researchers have focused their work on finding a network’s optimal configuration in planning mode. However, few address switching sequence process during operation This paper introduces an innovative approach to minimize networks. It addresses often-overlooked real-time orde...

In recent days in distribution system the more importance is giving to Loss minimization techniques since electricity demand continuously increasing and utility companies are struggling meet this rapid increase load due constraints on energy resource generation. Furthermore, voltage instability phenomena also playing important role systems caused a major blackout network. To solve above problem...

A new method to solve the single and multi-objective distribution expansion planning problems including DG is investigated in this paper. The sizing and placement of DG as well as the required power of the main grid would be optimized using proposed method to meet the demand. Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm is used to solve the optimization problem for three objective functi...

Power loss and voltage uncertainty are the major issues prevalently faced in design of distribution systems. But such can be resolved through effective usage networking reconfiguration that has a combination Distributed Generation (DG) units from networks. In this point view, optimal placement sizing DGs ways to boost performance power The optimum allocation resolves various problems namely, lo...

Distributed generation (DG) refers to small generating plants that usually develop green energy and are located close the load buses. Thus, reducing active as well reactive power losses, enhancing stability reliability, many other benefits arise in case of a suitable selection terms location size DGs, especially smart cities. In this work, new nature-inspired algorithm called Garra Rufa optimiz...

1 Department of Electrical Engineering, Shiraz University 2 Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Eyvanekey Corresponding Author: Mohsen Khorasany Abstract—Nowadays limitation of energy sources has increased the demands for using Distributed Generation (DG) in electricity generation. One of the most important issues about DG is allocation size and place of DG in the network to ach...

Connecting green power sources to power grid are gradually becoming popular. Proper placement and sizing of these energy sources is important in order to obtaining their maximum potential benefits. There have been studies to allocate the DG, in which loads are generally modeled as constant power or constant current types of loads. Since most of the distribution system loads are uncontrolled and...

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) and distributed generation (DG) can positively negatively impact the distribution system. Therefore, this paper presents modeling analysis of DG PEVs’ penetration levels three-phase unbalanced radial The study aims to optimize system’s sizing PEV charging minimize total power loss. test system is 4th circuit Nonsung service station along Thaharn Road, Muang Dist...
