Despite improving various technical indices such as operation and voltage profile, the integration of synchronous distributed generations (SDGs) may lead to loss protection coordination in distribution network (DN). To tackle problem, this paper presents a multi-objective siting sizing SDGs on DN considering operation, economic simultaneously. The proposed scheme is structured framework four-ob...

This paper deals with the optimal siting and sizing problem of photovoltaic (PV) generators in electrical distribution networks considering daily load generation profiles. It proposes discrete-continuous version vortex search algorithm (DCVSA) to locate size PV sources where discrete part codification defines nodes. Renewable are installed these nodes, continuous section determines their sizes....

Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) charging stations couple future transportation systems and power systems. That is, PEV driving and charging behavior will influence the two networks simultaneously. This paper studies optimal planning of PEV fast-charging stations considering the interactions between the transportation and electrical networks. The geographical targeted planning area is a highway t...

This paper presents an overview of recent advances on modeling and layout optimization of devices and interconnects for high-performance VLSI circuit design under the deep submicron technology. First, we review a number of interconnect and driver/gate delay models, which are most useful to guide the layout optimization. Then, we summarize the available performance optimization techniques for VL...
