In this paper, a new algorithm is implemented to solve optimal placement of capacitors in radial distribution systems in two ways that is, optimal placement of fixed or Discrete size of capacitor banks (Variable Locations Discrete sizing Capacitor banks-VLDC) and optimal sizing and placement of capacitors (Variable Locations Continues sizing of Capacitors-VLCC) for real power loss minimization ...

the iranian ministry of energy commands the regional electrical companies to install dg resources at 63kv/20kv substations and at the end of 20kv lines. the first and foremost challenge in installing these resources is deciding on the optimal place and capacity of these resources. this paper is aimed to propose an appropriate algorithm for siting and sizing such resources in bakhtar regional el...

Distributed generators are very much beneficial in reducing the losses effectively compared to other methods of loss reduction .In this paper optimal size of DG unit operated at optimal power factor is dealt. DG unit placement using fuzzy logic and sizing of DG at any power factor is calculated using analytical method . Voltage and power loss reduction indices of distribution system nodes are m...

The main purpose of this paper is to modify Huang’s model [13] by considering two warehouses. In addition, we try to use algebraic method to determine the optimal lot-sizing policy for the retailer under two warehouses and two levels of delay permitted. This paper provides this algebraic approach that could be used easily to introduce the basic inventory theories to younger students who lack th...

This paper proposes a new methodology for the optimal allocation and sizing of Embedded Generation (EG) employing Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) to minimize the total power losses and to improve voltage profiles in the radial distribution networks. RCGA is a method that uses continuous floating numbers as representation which is different from conventional binary numbers. The RCGA is used ...

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 a genetic algorithm (GA) and weight method that employed to obtain the best compromise between these costs. Simulation results on 33-bus distri...

The Energy Storage System (ESS) is an expensive component of an E-bike. The idea of Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS), a combination between battery and Ultra-Capacitor (UC), can moderate the cost of E-bike ESS. In this paper, a cost function is developed to use for optimal sizing of a HESS. This cost function is consisted of the HESS (battery, UC and DC/DC converter) cost and the cost of bat...

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...

Modern this paper proposes non dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) which has feature of adaptive crowding distance for finding optimal location and sizing of Static Var Compensators (SVC) in order to minimize real power losses and voltage deviation and also to improve voltage profile of a power system at the same time. While finding the optimal location and size of SVC, single line ou...
