In this paper, a combinational optimization algorithm is introduced to obtain the best size and location of Static Compensator (STATCOM) in power systems. Its main contribution is considering contingency analysis where lines outages may lead to infeasible solutions especially at peak loads and it commonly can be vanished by load-shedding. The objective of the proposed algorithm is firstly to pr...

Reliability is a key aspect of power system design and planning. In this research we present a reliability analysis algorithm for large scale, radially operated (with respect to substation), reconfigurable, electrical distribution systems. The algorithm takes into account equipment power handling constraints and converges in a matter of seconds on systems containing thousands of components. Lin...

Modern distribution systems and microgrids must deal with high levels of uncertainty in their planning operation. These uncertainties are mainly due to variations loads distributed generation (DG) introduced by new technologies. This scenario brings challenges planners system operators that need tools perform more assertive analyses the grid state. paper presents an optimization methodology cap...

this paper, presents a suitable control system to manage energy in distributed power generation system with a battery energy storage station and fuel cell. first, proper dynamic shape modeling is prepared. second, control system is proposed which is based on classic controller. this model is educated with genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. the proposed strategy is compared with ...
