A significant progress has been made to increase electricity generation capacity in the
country over the last decade. The electricity supply for growing demand is the foremost …

This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming model to solve the conductor size
selection and reconductoring problem in radial distribution systems. In the proposed model …

This paper is the first of a two-part paper on optimal distribution system planning. The
horizon distribution planning problem and optimal distribution system model formulation are …

This paper is the first of two and presents a planning methodology for low-voltage
distribution networks. Combined optimization of transformers and associated networks is …

The upcoming network investment decisions and regulatory framework adopted by
distribution system operators (DSOs) are most likely to be impacted by the integration of …

Power distribution systems (PDS) comprise essential electrical components and
infrastructure that facilitate the delivery of electrical energy from a power transmission …

One important task in power distribution system expansion planning is feeder routing (FR),
which is to determine the optimal route from a medium voltage substation to load points and …

In this study, a new methodology is proposed to perform optimal selection of conductors in
three-phase distribution networks through a discrete version of the metaheuristic method of …

Power distribution networks are transitioning from passive towards active networks
considering the incorporation of distributed generation. Traditional energy networks require …

This paper addresses the problem of the power flow analysis of bipolar direct current (DC)
networks considering unbalanced loads and the effect of a neutral wire, which may be …
