This paper presents a Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm-based methodology for simultaneous optimal placement and sizing of Shunt Capacitors (SCs) Distributed Generations (DGs) together in radial distribution systems. The objectives the work are to minimize real power reactive losses while maximizing voltage stability index network subjected equality inequality constraints. Different operational test...

adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and the effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. in this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...

Due to the increasing need to distributed energy resources in power systems, their problems should be studied. One of the main problem of distributed energy resources is unplanned islanding. The unplanned islanding has some dangers to the power systems and the repairman which are works with the incorrect devices. In this paper, a passive local method is proposed. The proposed method is based on...
