The increased deployment of distributed generation calls for the coordination and interaction between transmission distribution levels. This requirement is particularly relevant planning purposes when renewable-based involved. Unfortunately, in current industry practice, network planners solve their problems independent each other, thereby leading to suboptimal solutions. Within this context, p...

The construction of community charging facilities and supporting distribution networks based on the predicted results electric vehicle (EV) power in saturation year has resulted a large initial idleness network serious waste assets. To solve this problem, paper proposes collaborative planning method for urban networks. First, load density occupancy rate to predict base electricity community, Ba...

This paper proposes a two-objective linearized resilient architecture (LRA) model for distribution networks to achieve strictly network during natural disasters like earthquakes and floods. To obtain this goal, the proposed LRA framework is based on planning of energy storage system (ESS), hardening tie lines, backup distributed generation (DG). Therefore, minimizes sum expected operation costs...

<span>This paper presents three planning models for optimal routing of radial distribution systems. In the first two models, cost function includes capital lines, energy loss cost, and bays cost. The constraints equations include power balance equations, voltage drop radiality logic thermal limit bus equations. model considers equation in its quadratic form while second approximates each ...

The paper presents a risk-based distribution network planning procedure to perform comparison (in terms of costs and associated residual risks) among conventional solutions the exploitation flexibility purchased from distributed energy resources through bilateral contracts or local markets. has been integrated within software developed by Authors in past decades for expansion planning. already ...
