As the world's population continues to grow and the demand for energy increases, there is
an urgent need for sustainable and efficient energy systems. Renewable energy sources …

This article represents a brief study on popular bio-inspired meta-heuristic optimization
methods and their applications. These methods, which imitate biological phenomena or …

Energy generation from renewable energy sources (RESs) is rapidly develo** across the
world to improve the performance of power networks and increase the share of RESs in …

An improved grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) is proposed in this paper, termed as
SGOA, which combines simulated annealing (SA) mechanism with the original GOA that is a …

Power Quality is an essential concern in the modern power system that can affect
consumers and utility. The integration of renewable energy sources, smart grid systems and …

This paper presents a hybrid metaheuristic method for optimal tuning of four different types
of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) …

Technologies of microgrids (MGs) help power grid evolve into one that is more efficient, less
polluting, reduced losses, and more flexible to provide energy consumers' want and need …

Several isolated microgrids (MGs) may exist in remote areas because of the geographical
and/or utility investment limitations. The isolated MG has its challenges depending on its …

The primary purpose of this paper is to design a novel multi-microgrid connection that uses
power compensation methods to improve voltage profiles and reduce harmonic distortions …

Recently, the exponential decay of traditional petroleum and coal-based reserves with the
ever-rising energy demand has led to the need for alternate energy sources. Distributed …
