Distributed generation (DG) refers to small generating plants that usually develop green energy and are located close the load buses. Thus, reducing active as well reactive power losses, enhancing stability reliability, many other benefits arise in case of a suitable selection terms location size DGs, especially smart cities. In this work, new nature-inspired algorithm called Garra Rufa optimiz...

The restructuring of power systems and the ever-increasing demand for electricity have given rise to congestion in networks. use distributed generators (DGs) may play a significant role tackling such issues. DGs be integrated with electrical networks regulate drift transmission lines, thereby increasing transfer capabilities lines improving overall performance In this article, an effective meth...

Unequal reactive power sharing amongst distributed generators (DG) is a significant concern while operating droop based microgrid. The reasons for this unequal include the difference in feeder impedances, uneven distribution of loads and DGs terms size locations. In article, mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problem applicable microgrid has been proposed to achieve proportional maintainin...

This paper shows the results obtained in the analysis of the impact of Distributed Generation (DG) on distribution losses and presents a new algorithm to the optimal allocation of distributed generation resources in distribution networks. The optimization is based on a Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA) aiming to optimal DG allocation in distribution network. Shuffled frogleaping algorithm ...

The use of renewable energy sources (RESs) is a need global society. This editorial, and its associated Special Issue “Grid-Connected Renewable Energy Sources”, offer compilation some the recent advances in analysis current power systems composed after high penetration distributed generation (DG) with different RESs. focus on both new control configurations novel methodologies for optimal place...

This paper proposes a new method for loss allocation in radial distribution networks (DNs) considering different models of distributed generation (DG) and load in context of a deregulated environment. In the proposed method, a direct relation between real/reactive power flow in a branch and its losses has been developed without taking any assumption and approximation. Suitable expressions/relat...
