This paper proposes the improved group search optimization algorithm for optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD). The ORPD problem is a non-linear, non-convex optimization problem which has various decision variables such as the compensation capacitors proportions, voltages of generators and the tap position of tap changing transformers. In this paper the multi-objective ORPD considering loss and […]
Penetration of distributed generation resources including wind power and solar photovoltaic units in distribution system has been increased, and it is important to examine their impact on the distribution systems’ operation in term of reliability. In this paper, the multi-objective dynamic feeder reconfiguration is introduced as an efficient approach for providing an energy management schedule […]
