this paper presents a multi-objective formulation for optimal siting and sizing of distributed generation (dg) resources in distribution systems in order to minimize the cost of power losses and energy not supplied. the implemented technique is based on a genetic algorithm (ga) and weight method that employed to obtain the best compromise between these costs. simulation results on 33-bus distri...

With the introduction of competition in the existing electrical market, it becomes necessary to enhance the transmission capacity of the power system through the existing transmission lines. The utilization of FACTS technologies can have significant impact on power system reliability. Low cost and feasibly better improvement can be achieved by using power electronics based devices in the system...

This paper proposes the latest application of power tracing technique for voltage stability improvement. Instead of solving losses charge allocation problem in deregulated power market as performed by many researchers, the proposed technique can be implemented for effective static generation power dispatch; that is, by determining suitable generating units involved in re-dispatching with the ai...

In this paper, optimal generation expansion planning (GEP) is investigated considering purchase prices, profits of independent power producers (IPPs) and reliability criteria using a new method based on hybrid coded Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). In this approach, optimal purchase price of each IPP is obtained by HCGA and reliability criteria are calculated by PSO...

the computer simulation program of a practical scale reverse electrodialysis process has been developed based on the program for saline water electrodialysis. the program is applied to compute the performance of an industrial-scale reverse electrodialysis stack (effective membrane area s = 1 m × 1 m = 1 m2, cell pair number n = 300 pairs). the stack operatingconditions are optimized. seawater a...
