Contingency conditions in distribution networks create financial losses for different parts of the system including electricity customers, retailers, distributed generation (DG) units, etc. Therefore, protective device allocation methods have been introduced recent years to enhance reliability power system. In this study, a new formulation is proposed find optimal places sectionalizing switches...

the operation of a distribution system in the presence of distributed generation systems has someadvantages and challenges. optimal sizing and siting of dg systems has economic, technical, andenvironmental benefits in distribution systems. improper selection of dg systems can reduce theseadvantages or even result in deterioration in the normal operation of the distribution system. dgallocation ...

Power loss and voltage instability are major problems in distribution systems. However, these typically mitigated by efficient network reconfiguration, including the integration of distributed generation (DG) units network. In this regard, optimal placement sizing DGs crucial. Otherwise, performance will be degraded. This study is conducted to optimally locate into a radial before after reconfi...

Abstract During the past decade, effect of renewable and non-renewable Distributed Generation (DG) sources production has grown all over world. Also, it enhanced by national international policies aimed at increasing share energy combining small high efficient heat power plants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, global warming have been encouraged. Although installation operation DGs discussed...

Abstract Increasing power demand and encouragement of renewable energy generation appear the importance Distributed Generation (DG). The Photovoltaic (PV) is considered a resource distributed generation. integration PV-DG unit into grid has significant effect on reducing real losses, operating costs, enhancing voltage stability. Most current researches handle this issue from point optimizing si...

Increased electric energy demand is the major factor that cracks researchers to focus on electrical meet challenge. Accordingly, power loss should be minimized. Due this, Distribution Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (DFACTS) and Distributed Generation (DG) must placed in an appropriate way distribution systems. Fuzzy-Lightning Search Algorithm (FLSA) has been proposed minimize ...

There is a need for the optimal positioning of protective devices to maximize customers satisfaction per their demands. Such arrangement advances distribution system reliability maximum achievable. Thus, radial (RDS) can be improved by placing reclosers at suitable feeder sections. This article presents comprehensive details an attempt determine reclosers’ location in RDS utility profit improve...

The world has now looked towards installing more renewable energy sources type distributed generation (DG), such as solar photovoltaic DG (SPVDG), because of its advantages to the environment and quality power supply it produces. However, these sources' optimal placement size are determined before their accommodation in distribution system (PDS). This is avoid an increase loss deviations voltag...
