Metaheuristic optimization algorithms are tools based on mathematical concepts that are
used to solve complicated optimization issues. These algorithms are intended to locate or …

To extract the maximum potential advantages in light of environmental, economical and
technical aspects, the optimum installation and sizing of Distributed Generation (DG) in …

Distributed generation can be defined as power generation by small scale generating units
that are installed at distribution systems. The penetration of distributed generation (DG) units …

One of the important points in optimal operation of a micro-CHP based microgrids (eg, a
residential building) is to coordinate its thermal and electrical loads. Therefore, in this study …

In a typical electricity market, the load aggregator (LA) bids in the wholesale market to
purchase electricity and meet the expected demand of its customers in the retail market …

Multiple energy carriers (MECs) have been broadly engrossing power system planners and
operators toward a modern standpoint in power system studies. Energy hub, though playing …

For over a decade, distributed generations (DGs) have sufficiently convinced the
researchers that they are the economic and environment-friendly solution that can be …

The optimal integration of electrical units, such as distributed generation units, power
electronic devices, and electric vehicles, is a significant development of smart grids. This …

With the large penetration of power electronic devices in distribution networks, power quality
problems such as line loss and harmonics have become the main factors affecting the …

In this paper a new and efficient hybrid multi-objective optimization algorithm is proposed for
