in distribution systems, in order to diminish power losses and keep voltage profiles within acceptable limits, network reconfiguration and capacitor placement are commonly used. in this paper, the hybrid shuffled frog leaping algorithm (hsfla) is used to optimize balanced and unbalanced radial distribution systems by means of a network reconfiguration and capacitor placement. high accuracy and ...

Optimal distribution substation placement is one of the major components of optimal distribution system planning projects. In this paper optimal substation placement problem is solved using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) as a new developed heuristic optimization algorithm. This procedure gives the optimal size, site and installation time of medium voltage substation, using their relate...

Distribution Reliability worth assessment is currently receiving considerable attention as it provides the opportunity to incorporate the cost or losses incurred by utility customers as a result of Power failure in the overall analysis of system costs & benefits. Distribution system reliability has acquired importance in these days, because the distribution system performance can directly affec...

Regarding the nature of non-linear discrete placement, and in order to determine the optimal capacity of the substation, the goal in the present study will be a number of local optimum points. In this research, the problem of optimal placement posts to reduce power losses by considering Distributed Generation (DG). In formulating the objective function, geographical distribution density in the ...

We propose a new routing and wavelength assignment scheme that improves the blocking probability of WDM networks and offers a very good utilizat ion of the networks resources. This heuristic results in high quality of service, prioritization of the LAN networks and lower installat ion costs compared with the traditional RWA algorithms applied in WDM networks. It is based on the distributed Dijk...

Advanced control of distributed energy resources at the consumer level requires full situational awareness of the the distribution system. One important problem is that of feeder topology identification which involves detecting changing switch configurations given a sparse number of measurements. We formulate the problem for residential feeders as a spanning tree identification problem over a g...

Cloud computing is one of the most emerging technology of the world. Due to rapid increase in the number of data centers to provide the services to the users the power consumed and operational costs of them is going on increasing day by day. Due to high power consumption and continuous working the amount of CO2 emission is going on increasing which is adding up to the greenhouse effect. So ther...
