In recent years, significant research efforts have been devoted to the optimal design of
modern power distribution systems. The aim of power distribution planning (PDP) is to …

Many studies have been conducted on the distribution network expansion planning (DNEP)
problem in recent years. The primary goal of this issue is to satisfy electric load demand …

This paper introduces a multistage coordinated planning method for active distribution
networks (ADN). The proposed methodology optimizes, in a coordinated manner, multiple …

The conventional vehicle fleet worldwide has contributed to the degradation of air quality
due to CO 2 emissions. Consequently, it has migrated from internal combustion to electric …

In this paper, an integrated methodology is proposed for planning distribution networks in
which the operation of distributed generators (DGs) and cross-connections (CCs) is …

A new comprehensive planning methodology is proposed for implementing distribution
network reinforcement. The load growth, voltage profile, distribution line loss, and reliability …

Optimal expansion of medium-voltage power networks because of load growth is a
combinatorial problem which is important from technical and economic points of view. The …

The active distribution network is a new solution to the flexible utilization of distributed
energy resources to suit the characteristics of the distribution network. Advanced “active” …

The analysis and validation of innovative methods and concepts for distribution grids like
smart-grid approaches require a realistic representation of the grid structure. However, the …

The massive introduction of electric vehicles as a mobility alternative requires deploying an
infrastructure of charging stations for electric cars (ICSEC). This new mobility concept will …
