Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is one of the most efficient FACTS devices that can be individually or combinatorial on all effective parameters in the transmission power of the transmission lines. With the flexibility of effective parameters in power passage, the power system operation can be improved. in this study, the optimization algorithm based on location and optimal capacity of UPF...

Restructuring in electrical power distribution utilities, energy loss management is one of the critical activities to enhance network efficiency. Accordingly, monitoring of technical loss and strategic planning for loss reduction would be a main target of asset manager. For loss monitoring, the usual methods of loss calculation and estimation need numerous data which is not used mostly to utili...

Abstract: in this Paper, Optimal placement and sizing of DGs is considered as an engineering optimization problem. Due to integration and influence of DGs in distributed networks, optimal location and sizing of them are done based on objective functions such as: voltage profile improvement, power loss reduction, reliability improvement, restraining the increase of power plant, etc. These goals ...

This paper presents the application of immune algorithm to find optimal location and sizing for distributed generation (DG) sources and static series voltage regulator (SSVR) in distribution networks. The proposed objective function for this allocation includes investment costs and profits accrued from reduced losses and also included is a set of quality indexes that show the status of voltage,...
