It is economic and secure to determine the optimal siting sizing of offshore wind farms (OWFs) integrated into AC system through voltage-source converter high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) links. In this paper, an planning model for VSC-HVDC-link-based OWFs capacitors proposed, where a decomposition technique presented solve proposed mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem obtai...

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are considered very useful tools for the optimal allocation of capacitor banks in distribution systems. Nonetheless a high computational effort can be requested mainly in large scale systems. In the paper three GA-based methods for the optimal sizing and siting of capacitors in unbalanced multiconverter distribution networks are applied and compared to obtain a good sol...

Existing literature on planning for electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) fails to consider uncertain factors in power systems, such as load fluctuations and the impact of EV integration. Consequently, using deterministic flow (DPF) algorithms EVCS is unreliable. To address this, we propose a probabilistic model loads introduce novel dynamic system voltage stability (DSVS) index. We then pr...

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...

In this paper recently developed mixed-integer programming (MIP) tools to the problem of optimal siting and sizing of distributed generators in a distribution network. Here three methodologies for solving the DGPP via mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) and mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) approaches are compared. The single MILP approach uses the well-known DC linear approximati...
