Reliability optimization of electrical distribution systems using internal loops to minimize energy not-supplied (ENS)

Earthwork Volume Optimization Using Imperialistic Competitive Algorithm to Minimize Energy Consumption of Agricultural Land Leveling

Land leveling is one of the most important steps in soil preparation for consequent objectives.  Parallel policies need to take both energy and environmental subjects into the account as well as certain financial development and eco-friendly protection. Energy is one of the most important elements in agricultural sector. Nevertheless, pollution is linked with the usage of fossil fuels (particul...

An Evaluation of the Systems Reliability Using Fuzzy Lifetime Distribution

Reconfiguration of distribution systems to improve reliability and reduce power losses using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm

Distribution systems can be operated in multiple configurations since they are possible combinations of radial and loop feeders. Each configuration leads to its own power losses and reliability level of supplying electric energy to customers. In order to obtain the optimal configuration of power networks, their reconfiguration is formulated as a complex optimization problem with different objec...

Electrical Energy Storage on the Hybrid Grid of Renewable Energy System Using Fuzzy Controller Optimization Algorithm

The main risks of arising from the using fossil fuels can be referred to environmental pollution, the effects of greenhouse gases, climate change and acid rain. For this reason, efficient use of energy in economic development has always been considered as an important goal of sustainable development. In this study, the effects of time-varying electricity prices in the energy storage components ...

Reliability improvement in radial electrical distribution networkᅡᅠby optimal planning of energy storage systems

This paper provides an optimal approach to denote the location and size of ESSs (energy storage systems) with the intention of reliability improvement in radial electrical distribution networks. The proposed optimal ESSs planning is addressed as a minimization problemwhich aims at minimizing the cost of ENS (energy not supplied) as well as ESSs costs at the same time, subject to safe operation ...
