Microgrids (MG) treat local energy supply issues effectively and from a point of view of the
distribution grid, may be a power supply or virtual load. Despite holding a myriad of benefits …

In this paper an exhaustive bibliographical revision of the mathematical methods used for
the optimal selection and location of reactive power compensating elements is developed …

Accessibility to transit, together with other important system characteristics such as network
coverage and frequency, is a crucial driver of modal choice for urban commuting. In turn …

This work presents a methodology for optimal compensation of reactive power in Electric
Microgrids using a multicriteria decision algorithm based on heuristic methods. It was …

In this work, a mathematical model called optimization by swarm of particles (PSO), was
implemented to optimally solve the location and sizing of capacitor banks in a micro-grid of …

This paper presents a new hybrid strategy which allows the dynamic identification of AC/DC
microgrids (MG) by using algorithms such as Auto-Regressive with exogenous inputs (ARX) …

This work presents a novel methodology for the optimal location of reclosers in electric
distribution systems. The proposal uses a multicriteria analysis to evaluate the reliability …

The growth in the demand for electrical energy, which is driven by the constant growth of the
metropolises and the expansion of the productive capacities of the industrial sector, entails …

The proper dimensioning of distribution transformers is an issue of paramount importance
for the design of electrical distribution networks with high standards of efficiency and quality …

Plans to extend rural electrification usually face budget constraints, so must prioritize the
projects to define the implementation order. The project ranking must be defined with a clear …
