this paper presents a probabilistic confidence-interval based method for optimal placement of shunt capacitors in distribution networks by considering probabilistic characteristics of loads. the main objective function are reducing loss and improving the voltage profile. backward forward sweep method has been employed to obtain the power flow results in distribution system. in addition, integer...

Load flow is a very significant and essential tool for the analysis of any power system and is used in the operational as well as development stages. In this work, a modified load flow method is formulated for radial distribution systems. The topological characteristics of distribution systems are employed to make proposed load flow solution possible. The proposed method makes use of two matric...

due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent years, the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapidly increased. in order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the size and location of local generation to be placed. minimizing the losses in the system would bring two types of saving, in real life, one is ...

The flexibility provided by prosumers is recognized as a key element for the management of electrical grids, in particular distribution changing scenario electricity generation and consumption. useful to Distribution System Operators (DSOs) strongly local, it necessary identify busses grid where can be usefully service requested DSO. For this purpose, concept perimeter adopted; defined set such...
