The optimum penetration of distributed generations into the distribution grid provides several technical and economic benefits. However, computational time required to solve constrained optimization problems increases with increasing network scale may be too long for online implementations. This paper presents a parallel solution multi-objective generation (DG) allocation sizing problem handle ...

The impending deregulated environment facing the electric utilities in the twenty first century is both a challenge and an opportunity for a variety of technologies and operating scenarios. Changing regulatory and economic scenarios, energy savings and environmental impacts are providing impetus to the development of an Active Distribution Networks (ADN), which is predicated to play an increasi...

The wind turbine has grown out to be one of the most common Renewable Energy Sources (RES) around the world in recent years. This study was intended to position the Wind Turbine (WT) on a wind farm to achieve the highest performance possible in Electric Distribution Network (EDN). In this paper a new optimization algorithm namely Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) is applied to solve the problem of opt...

<span lang="EN-US">Power demand in the current days is increasing more and where conventional power generation systems are failing to meet these demands due less availability of non-renewable resources. Hence, many researchers working on distributed (DG) by using renewable resources like wind solar. The penetration towards wind, solar DG faced challenging situations during uncertainty spe...

Capacitors in radial/mesh distribution systems are used to supply reactive power to minimize loss and to improve the voltage profile. The appropriate placement of capacitors is also important to ensure that system power losses and total investment capacitor costs are minimal. The capacitor placement problem consists of finding specific sitting and sizing to install capacitor banks in an electri...
