This paper discusses the use of distributed generation (DG) for improving the supply reliability in distribution systems. The first part of the paper contains the results of a simple analytical study of the reliability for individual customers with distributed generation on-site. The difference between disconnector-type interfaces and breaker-type interface is emphasised. In the second part of ...

in this paper, simultaneous placement of distributed generation, capacitor bank and protective devices are utilized to improve the efficiency of the distribution network. the objectives of the problem are reduction of active and reactive power losses, improvement of voltage profile and reliability indices and increasing distribution companies’ profit. the combination of firefly algorithm, parti...

The increasing concern of global climate changes, the promotion of renewable energy sources, primarily wind generation, is a welcome move to reduce the pollutant emissions from conventional power plants. Integration of wind power generation with the existing power network is an emerging research field. This paper presents a meta-heuristic algorithm based approach to determine the feasible dispa...
