This study proposes a strategy for short-term operational planning of active distribution
systems to minimize operating costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The strategy …

This paper describes the algorithm for optimal distribution network reconfiguration using the
combination of a heuristic approach and genetic algorithms. Although similar approaches …

Abstract Distribution Feeder Reconfiguration (DFR) is an important technique to improve the
performance of distribution networks. The common objectives considered in the DFR …

Due to penetration of renewable energy resources and volatility of market price, scheduling
of microgrid is associated with risk. Reconfigurable smart microgrids (RSMGs) are a new …

Distribution feeder reconfiguration (DFR) and capacitor allocation are used in distribution
systems to reduce power losses improve reliability and keep the voltage within acceptable …

Distribution Company (DISCO) uses some price-based policies to maximize the profit of
Distributed Generation (DG) owners and minimize the power loss of the network …

The process of building microgrids on top of existing passive distribution networks warrants
a multi-criteria analysis. Besides the calculation of the investment outlays needed for the …

Extreme dust storms (EDSs) are rare natural disasters, occurring with a higher rate of
incidence and severity in recent years in coastal areas with humid climate. EDSs can …

In this article, a method for reconfiguring the distribution network with the presence of
production sources to minimize energy losses is presented. Also, besides the …

One of the most significant tasks for loss reduction and reliability improvement in active
distribution networks is feeder reconfiguration. Uncertainty associated with load, generation …
