The recent development in renewable energy systems and the high demand for having clean and low cost energy sources encourage people to use distributed generator (DG) systems. Proper addition and placement of DG units can increase reliability and reduce the loss and production cost. In this paper using Ant Colony method, we developed an optimum […]
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 […]
Distribution systems pose a significant challenge within the power grid, primarily due to their high current, low voltage, and comparatively high ohmic resistance compared to transmission and sub-transmission systems.This results in substantial power losses, necessitating the need for effective mitigation strategies.To address this issue, a wide range of methods and algorithms have been proposed and […]
