Connecting green power sources to power grid are gradually becoming popular. Proper placement and sizing of these energy sources is important in order to obtaining their maximum potential benefits. There have been studies to allocate the DG, in which loads are generally modeled as constant power or constant current types of loads. Since most of the distribution system loads are uncontrolled and...

Racemates increase the chances of crystallization by allowing molecular contacts to be formed in a greater number of ways. With the advent of protein synthesis, the production of protein racemates and racemic-protein crystallography are now possible. Curiously, racemic DNA crystallography had not been investigated despite the commercial availability of L- and D-deoxyribo-oligonucleotides. Here,...

This paper presents a new hybrid method for optimal multi-objective reconfiguration in a distribution feeder in addition to determining the optimal size and location of multiple-Distributed Generation (DG). The purposes of this research are mitigation of losses, improving the voltage profile and equalizing the feeder load balancing in distribution systems. To reduce the search space, the improv...

Due to increased load demands, distribution systems suffer from high power losses, low voltage levels, current, and reliability. To solve these problems, integrate distributed generator units (DG) into the system. DG are among most popular methods of improving system reliability, bus improvement through placement selection in an optimal location size. This work proposed Enhanced Particle Swarm ...

this paper develops a model for distribution network expansion planning (dnep) considering reliability issues. with simultaneous switch placement and dnep, the proposed model tries to adequately consider the reliability issues in the planning stage in a way that the designed network has suitable performance from the reliability viewpoint. the reinforcement or installation of mv feeders and hv/m...
