Introduction of new technologies such as energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and distributed generation improved the characteristics of networks. On other hand, using these components in distribution systems improves system performances such as power losses. One of effective methods for improving system characteristics is distribution network reconfiguration. In this study, in addition t...

Due to widespread presence of distributed energy resources (DERs) in current power systems and need to a two-way communication system between the system operator and distributed generators, storage units and controllable loads, presence of a smart distribution system with proper communication infrastructure is required. Considering complication of smart grid operation in presence of DERs, there...

The penetration of distributed generation sources and energy storage units in distribution networks is increasing. Therefore, their impact on the reliability of the network is very necessary. In this study, in order to provide an optimal energy management strategy for smart distribution network, the multi-objective optimization problem of dynamic distribution feeder reconfiguration in the pres...
