A genetic algorithm is proposed to optimize a tree-structured power distribution network considering optimal cable sizing. For minimizing the total cost of the network, a mixed-integer programming model is presented determining the optimal sizes of cables with minimized location-allocation cost. For designing the distribution lines in a power network, the primary factors must be considered as m...

Due to the growing use of Plug-in Electric vehicles in transportation networks, scheduling the charge/discharge of electric vehicles in parking lots can have great impacts on the distribution network's resiliency. This paper presents a Bi-level optimization model to improve the resiliency of the distribution network that takes into account the interaction between the distribution network island...

One of the ways of reducing active power losses in the distribution networks is using the network reconfiguration for different load levels. Since the number of possible configuration of a distribution network is usually very much and then review of all of them (especially in the network of large-scale) to finding the optimal configuration is not possible simply, therefore in this paper a new a...

In this paper an effective method for the purpose of state estimation of fundamental and harmonics signals in the radial power distribution network is presented. In Addition, the application development of this method to the network observability and data processing is considered and analyzed. One of the most advantages of this method is capability of bad data detection and process of them and ...

In this paper, the combined and new methods in distribution network with distributed generation are introduced to allocate fixed cost fairly that is applicable for radial network. Allocation of fixed cost based MW-mile is not fairer method. Fixed cost allocated based on average or peak consumed power using MW-mile that is not fairer method. It is essential to a new method introduced. Unfair pri...

In this paper, a new multi-objective model for the expansion planning of the renewable distributed generation (DG) in smart distribution networks based on the passive defense considerations is proposed. The proposed planning model aims to minimize the outage duration of the distribution network loads considering priority of critical, sensitive and important loads. It also aims to minimize netwo...
