wireless sensor networks (wsns) are one of the most interesting consequences of innovations in different areas of technology including wireless and mobile communications, networking, and sensor design. these networks are considered as a class of wireless networks which are constructed by a set of sensors. a large number of applications have been proposed for wsns. besides having numerous applic...

According to the latest developments in smart grid infrastructures of recent modern networks, in this paper, end-consumers are presented as a means for participating in networks voltage distribution control. In this regard, for reactive power control of the smart grids, a distributed control approach is proposed as an efficient approach which improves computation burden of the problem, consider...

In this paper, a real time method is introduced for distribution networks reactive power control in order to co-ordinate all equipments contributing to improved voltage profile and reduced losses and costs. Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is also employed for optimization purposes. The proposed method was implemented on a part of Tehran distribution network, which confirmed its effectiv...

One of the ways of reducing active power losses in the distribution networks is using the network reconfiguration for different load levels. Since the number of possible configuration of a distribution network is usually very much and then review of all of them (especially in the network of large-scale) to finding the optimal configuration is not possible simply, therefore in this paper a new a...

Abstract: In the last decade, the amount of distributed generation connected to the distribution network is increasing. The presence of distributed generation resources in distribution systems has a great influence on its behavior and it is necessary to consider the impact of these resources on the distribution network design. In this study, Optimal Coordinated Voltage Control (OCVC) using wind...
