voltage stability issues are growing challenges in many modern power systems. this paper proposes optimizing the size and location of static var compensator (svc) devices using a fuzzy weighted seeker optimization algorithm (fwsoa), as an effective solution to overcome such issues. although the primary purpose of svc is bus voltage regulation, it can also be useful for voltage stability enhance...

The main purpose of this research is to determine the generation quantity of each generator in a power system. In this way, not only will the electricity demanded by the system be supplied, but the cost of fuel along with the level of pollution can be minimized. Obviously, calculation of the optimal layout of power plants with the aim of minimizing fuel costs and pollutants level contributes to...

reliability investigation has always been one of the most important issues in power systems planning. the outages rate in power system reflects the fact that more attentions should be paid on reliability indices to supply consumers with uninterrupted power. using reliability indices in economic dispatch problem may lead to the system load demand with high reliability and low probability of powe...

In this article, a multi-objective planning is demonstrated for reactive power compensation in radial distribution networks with wind generation via unified power quality conditioner (UPQC). UPQC model, based on phase angle control (PAC), is used. In presented method, optimal locating of UPQC-PAC is done by simultaneous minimizing of objective functions such as: grid power loss, percentage of n...

This paper presents a new multi-objective coupled energy and reactive power market clearing model namely the MO-CERPMC model in day-ahead competitive market environment. In proposed model, both the active and reactive power markets are considered as coupled markets and cleared in a same time frame. The multi-objective optimization problem involves the minimization of total payment functions for...

During the microgrid search process, optimal allocation and economic dispatch are very important and are interrelated, having interaction and mutual checks. In this paper, we adopt a bilevel planning method to search for the multi-objective optimal allocation of a microgrid, considering economic dispatch. The upper level is the optimal allocation, which aims at minimizing the daily fixed cost o...
