the issue of unit commitment is one of the most important economic plans in power system. in modern and traditional power systems, in addition to being economical of the planning, the issue of security in unit operation is also of great importance. hence power system operation confronts units’ participation and input considering network security constrains. the issue of units’ participation is ...

voltage stability issues are growing challenges in many modern power systems. this paper proposes optimizing the size and location of static var compensator (svc) devices using a fuzzy weighted seeker optimization algorithm (fwsoa), as an effective solution to overcome such issues. although the primary purpose of svc is bus voltage regulation, it can also be useful for voltage stability enhance...

This paper describes a DC isolated network which is fed with Distributed Generation (DG) from photovoltaic (PV) renewable sources for supplying unbalanced AC loads. The battery energy storage bank has been connected to the DC network via DC/DC converter to control the voltage of the network and optimize the operation of the PV generation units. The PV arrays are connected to the DC network ...

transmission network expansion planning (tnep) is an important component of power system planning. itdetermines the characteristics and performance of the future electric power network and influences the powersystem operation directly. different methods have been proposed for the solution of the static transmissionnetwork expansion planning (stnep) problem till now. but in all of them, stnep pr...

Deregulation of power system in recent years has changed static security assessment to the major concerns for which fast and accurate evaluation methodology is needed. Contingencies related to voltage violations and power line overloading have been responsible for power system collapse. This paper presents an enhanced radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) approach for on-line ranking of ...

Distributed flexible AC- transmission system (D-FACTS) is a recently advanced FACTS device with high flexibility and smaller size. The DPFC can control power flow in transmission lines, regulate bus voltages and it can also enhance stability margin in power grids. Adaptive-neural network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) combines features of artificial neural network and fuzzy controller. Th...

Hybrid AC/DC microgrids facilitate the procedure of DC power connection into the conventional AC power system by developing the distributed generations (DGs) technologies. The conversion processes between AC and DC electrical powers are more convenient by hybrid systems. In this paper, an energy management system (EMS) for a hybrid microgrid network is proposed due to the optimal utilization of...
