In practical situations, distribution network loads are the mixtures of residential, industrial, and commercial types. This paper presents a hybrid optimization algorithm for the optimal placement of shunt capacitor banks in radial distribution networks in the presence of different voltage-dependent load models. The algorithm is based on the combination of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Binary Part...

application of distributed generation (dg) units in distribution networks has increased in recent years. sizing and sitting of dg units are two important factors which should be considered, especially for reduction of power losses in distribution system. this paper presents a new approach for dg placement in distribution systems using the mixed integer nonlinear programming (minlp). this approa...

This paper introduces the technique of fault distance estimation based on modal transformation and signal processing. The recorded faulted phase currents are applied to Karrenbauer model these component decomposed into detail coefficients by use Daubechies wavelet, db6. recorder installed at terminal feeder records different time delays between components. In order find distance, delay values c...

in this research, the spatial distribution of electrical conductivity and ph of springs, ghanats and the base flow concentration places on the streams of central and south-west and central parts of the hamedan-bahar plain were evaluated. using different geostatistical methods such as kriging, minimum curvature, inverse distance, natural neighbor, local polynomial and radial basis functions, 108...

This paper proposes the performance improvement of radial distribution network with distributed generation (DG) integration using extended particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. High-performance distribution network is a network that has a low power loss, better voltage profile, and loading balance among feeders. The effort to improve the performance of the distribution network is network...

Distributed generator (DG) placement in distribution system is one of the important tasks for better operation of distribution system. Distribution system has high r/x ratio and high operating current resulting into higher power loss and higher voltage drop. The main objective of this paper is to minimize the active power loss and to improve voltage profile of overall system by optimal sizing a...
