this paper investigates the islands formation in initial stages of restoration process in blackout condition and studies the impacts of islands number variation on the process execution. in addition, a method is proposed to determining each island optimal boundaries. then the effects of transmission lines thyistor controlled series compensators (tcsc) to facilitate restoration process and impro...

Parallel Genetic Algorithms have often been reported to yield better performance than Genetic Algorithms which use a single large panmictic population. In the case of the Island Model Genetic Algorithm , it has been informally argued that having multiple subpopulations helps to preserve genetic diversity, since each island can potentially follow a diierent search trajectory through the search s...

Over the past few decades great efforts were made to solve uncertain hybrid optimization problems. The n-Queen problem is one of such problems that many solutions have been proposed for. The traditional methods to solve this problem are exponential in terms of runtime and are not acceptable in terms of space and memory complexity. In this study, parallel genetic algorithms are proposed to solve...

A new model of parallel distributed genetic algorithm, Dual Individual Distributed Genetic Algorithm (DuDGA), is proposed. This algorithm frees the user from having to set some parameters because each island of Distributed Genetic Algorithm (DGA) has only two individuals. DuDGA can automatically determine crossover rate, migration rate, and island number. Moreover, compared to simple GA and DGA...

microgrids are small-scale, low voltage (lv) power networks which employ renewable distribution energy resources (ders) with power electronic interfaces (peis). microgrids as single controlled units and active distribution networks require flexible control systems to ensure reliable and secure operation in different modes. these various operations of microgrid cause variations in voltage and fr...
