Offshore wind power plants are becoming a realistic option for the renewable production of electricity. As an improvement tool to profitability OWFs, this work presents first complete non-genetic (and non-binary) evolutionary algorithm optimize location, size and layout parallelogram-shaped offshore farm, as arrangement that is standard farms. It has been tested in HRI site. Most relevant econo...

The rapid growth of distributed generation (DG) and load has highlighted the necessity optimizing their ways integration, as siting sizing significantly impact distribution networks. However, little attention been paid to new substations which are be installed. This paper proposes deep learning-aided joint DG-substation in network stochastic expansion planning. First, model depends on an accura...

This paper proposes a procedure for the optimal siting and sizing of energy storage systems (ESSs) within active distribution networks (ADNs) hosting large amount stochastic distributed renewable resources. The optimization objective is to minimize ADN’s day-ahead computed dispatch error. allocation ESS determined while taking advantages from their operational features regarding dispatchability...

Soft Open Points (SOPs) are power electronic devices and emerging flexible interconnections. The active reactive flow controllability of SOP facilitates to improve the performance characteristics networks. To evaluate contribution SOPs operational improvement, instead a fixed number an optimized configuration is necessary. In addition optimal siting sizing in distribution networks, considering ...

This paper studies the problems of minimizing power dissipation of an interconnect wire by simultaneously considering buffer insertion/sizing and wire sizing (BISWS). We consider two cases, namely minimizing power dissipation with optimal delay constraints, and minimizing power dissipation with a given delay penalty. We derive closed form optimal solutions for both cases. These closed form solu...

The various optimal capacitor placement techniques on transmission and distributions lines for line losses reduction and enhancement of voltage stability in the power system network have been proposed so far in different papers. Optimal Capacitor placement is an optimization problem which has an objective to define the sizes and locations of capacitors to be installed. This paper focuses on the...

This paper presents a new approach for the optimal facility siting considering the uncertainty of toxic release in one of the installed facilities. The proposed formulation incorporates the effect of wind speed, wind direction and atmospheric stability to calculate the risk of death via probit functions and Monte Carlo simulation. The overall problem is initially modeled as a disjunctive progra...
