The main objectives of distribution network reconfiguration are real power loss reduction and relieving the overload. As well, integration of distributed generation (DG) units and fixed/switched capacitor banks are effective options for operation cost reduction, reducing system losses, improving voltage profile and increasing voltage stability index in the distribution systems. Therefore, simultaneous network reconfiguration, optimal […]
DGs and capacitor banks are installed to optimize the performance of many distribution networks. Typically, the problem of optimizing the overall performance of the distribution network is examined with multi-objective purposes. Network optimization purposes are usually varied and sometimes contradictory. Therefore, the problem search space is very large due to the variety of purposes. This […]
