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...

Voltage losses limit the performance of organic solar cells, yet their origins are not fully understood. Now, a theoretical model encompassing electronic state hybridization and thermal population vibrational states explains reduced non-radiative voltage in efficient non-fullerene acceptor systems.

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...

This paper investigates the effect of metallic sheaths on losses and temperature of medium voltage power cables. Two grounding methods of sheaths, including both ends bonding and single point bonding that causes different situations on cable ampacity, are considered. Electrical losses of cables that are main sources of heat are calculated in both conductor and metallic sheath of the cables. She...

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 ...

this paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage dc-dc converters at light loads. pulse width modulation (pwm) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (pfm) control is more efficient for the same cases. switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. to decrease the switching losses...

optimal sitting and sizing of shunt capacitor banks at the distribution networks for the purpose of power quality improvement is drawn much attention of electric power utilities in the last decades. determining the optimal number, location and sizing of capacitor using bee colony optimization algorithm (bco) is being presented in this paper. the bco algorithm is a new population based meta-heur...
