In this paper the network reconfiguration problem is formulated as non-linear objective
optimization problem. The proposed solution to this problem is framed as a non-linear …

With the increase in population and the amount of energy required, power systems have
become more complex and extensive over time. Because of the development of new …

Summary In recent years, Distributed Generation (DG) has been utilized in electric power
networks increasingly. DG units can affect the system operational conditions in different …

In this paper, a methodology is presented to find the optimal size, location and technology of
distributed generation (DG) units considering economic, technical, and environmental …

The development of DGs will bring new changes to traditional power systems. Distributed
generation has important consequences for the operation of the distribution networks …

Power loss minimization is one of the important aspects in the distribution system.. This
paper deals with power loss minimization by the placement of distributed generators (DG) in …

Since electricity demand is increasing continuously, it is necessary to invest in expansion of
distribution network capacity. From the asset management point of view, it is necessary to …

To improve the distribution network's (DN) performance, radial distribution reconfiguration is
an emerging viable solution. Manual techniques or automatic switching operation …

This paper presents a new evolutionary approach for reconfiguration of radial systems. The
framework applied for optimization is Symbiotic Organism Search Algorithm (SOSA). The …
