Abstract The Network Reconfiguration technique is a method which helps mitigate power
losses from distribution systems. However, the reconfiguration technique can only do this up …

In the paradigm of the increasing trend towards decarbonisation, the use of sustainable
renewable energy is widely recommended. Network reconfiguration, together with the …

This paper proposes a new meta-heuristic algorithm called Pathfinder Algorithm (PFA) to
solve optimization problems with different structure. This method is inspired by collective …

It is imperative to distribution system operators to provide quantitative as well as qualitative
power demand and satisfy consumers' satisfaction. So, it is important to address one of the …

Integration of distributed generation units (DGs) and capacitor banks (CBs) in distribution
systems aim to enhance the system performance. This paper proposes water cycle algorithm …

This paper proposes a novel placement technique based on the improved golden jackal
optimization (IGJO) algorithm for multiple capacitor banks (CBs) and multi-type DGs in a …

In this paper, improved single-and multi-objective Harris Hawks Optimization algorithms,
called IHHO and MOIHHO, respectively are proposed and applied for determining the …

This paper proposes a new methodology to optimize network topology and placement of
distributed generation (DG) in distribution network with an objective of reduction real power …

This paper proposes a reconfiguration methodology based on a cuckoo search algorithm
(CSA) for minimizing active power loss and the maximizing voltage magnitude. The CSA …

In this paper, a novel approach to determine the optimal location and sizing of Distribution
Generation (DG) and Distribution STATic COMpensator (DSTATCOM) is analyzed, and the …
