this paper presents an application of benders decomposition to deal with the complexities in the simultaneous generation expansion planning (gep) and transmission expansion planning (tep). unlike the power system operation fields of study, the power system planning methods are not expected to be fast. however, it is always preferable to speed up computations to provide more analysis options for...

The harmonic in distribution systems becomes an important problem due to an increase in nonlinear loads. This paper presents a new approach based on a graph algorithm for optimum placement of passive harmonic filters in a multi-bus system, which suffers from harmonic current sources. The objective of this paper is to minimize the network loss, the cost of the filter and the total harmonic disto...

One of the most important obstacles in the deployment of the clean technologies such as photovoltaic modules in the distribution system is their indefinite future in the coming years after the installation due to their intermittent nature in power generation because of the dependency to solar radiance profile. The authors in this study aim to analyze the economic, technical and environmental ef...

The planning and operational issues of distribution systems have attracted more and more attentions from researchers with the development of Smart Grids. A new integrated planning model of distribution systems and the solution methods are proposed in this paper to investigate the way of improving the economy and reliability of distribution system planning by making full use of distributed gener...

This paper presents an overview of the activities of the CIGRE/CIRED C6.25/B5 Joint Working Group (JWG), focusing on the control and automation systems for the future electric networks. This JWG is mainly focus to evaluate the level of automation and control necessary to better manage distribution networks with large penetrations of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), as seen from the both the...

design and expansion of distribution systems seems inevitable in view of the need to satisfy the rise in energy consumption in a technical and economical way. optimal location, sizing and determining the service area of substations is one of the principle problems in expansion of distribution systems. also uncertainty is one of the important factors that increase risk of exact decision makings....

configuration of urban land use arrangement system, how to divide and how to use urban lands are advantages of environmental, economic, social, politic and rightly forces. with extension of urbanization and development of urban and regional planning, this concept is more widely hold a special place in the form of projects such as: land preparation, framework planning, general and comprehensive,...

The critical importance of integrating production, distribution, and inventory (PDI) operations has long been recognized by top management of many companies. Now. using (he laiest advances in Managemenl Science modeling and solution technology, an integruied computer-based PDI system has saved approximately $18 million dollars during its first three years of implemenlalion for a major national ...

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...
