This paper investigates the effect of simultaneous placement of DGs and smart meters (SMs), on voltage profile improvement in active distribution networks (ADNs). A substantial center of attention has recently been on responsive loads initiated in power system problem studies such as distributed generations (DGs). Existence of responsive loads in active distribution networks (ADNs) would have u...

With the progressive exhaustion of fossil energy and the enhanced awareness of environmental protection, more attention is being paid to plug in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). Inappropriate siting and sizing of PHEV parking lots (PL) could have negative effects on the development of PHEV, the layout of the city traffic network, and the convenience of PHEVs’ drivers as well as lead to an incre...

The problem regarding the optimal placement and sizing of different FACTS (flexible alternating current transmission systems) in electrical distribution networks is addressed this research by applying a master–slave optimization approach. analyzed correspond to unified power flow controller (UPFC), thyristor-controlled shunt compensator (TCSC, also known as thyristor switched capacitor, or TSC)...

This paper presents a multi-objective formulation for optimal siting and sizing of distributed generation (DG) resources in distribution systems in order to minimize the cost of power losses and energy not supplied. The implemented technique is based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and weight method that employed to obtain the best compromise between these costs. Simulation results on 33-b...

This paper presents Sensitivity constrained placement of unified power flow controller (UPFC) considering active-power sensitive index (APFSI) and static voltage stability (STATIC-VSI) to minimize losses improve transmission capacity. The factors are derived with respect voltage, phase angle current formulate APFSI. Transmission line impedance parameters along active reactivepower measurements ...
