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...

In recent years, size of VLSI circuits is dramatically grown and layout generation of current circuits has become a dominant task in design flow. Standard cell placement is an effective stage of physical design and quality of placement affects directly on the performance, power consumption and signal immunity of design. Placement can be performed analytically or heuristically. Analytical placer...

Voltage profile and losses are important factors in a distribution network in which there arevariety of ways to improve them. In this paper, distributed generation (DG) is used as a solutionto improve the above characteristics. Backward/Forward Sweep load flow algorithm is used dueto the inefficiency of usual load flow algorithms because of high R/X ratio and their lack ofconvergence in distrib...
