In recent years, with the advent of globalization, the world is witnessing a steep rise in its
energy consumption. The world is transforming itself into an industrial and knowledge …

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

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 …

In this paper, a hybrid configuration of ant colony optimization (ACO) with artificial bee
colony (ABC) algorithm called hybrid ACO–ABC algorithm is presented for optimal location …

A constant or voltage-dependent load model is usually assumed in most distributed
generation (DG) planning studies. However, this paper proposes several different types of …

Distributed generation (DG) is a better alternative to meet power demand near the load
centers than centralized power generation. Optimal placement and sizing of DGs plays a …

This paper presents a methodology for the integration of dispatchable and nondispatchable
renewable distributed generation (DG) units for minimizing annual energy losses. In this …

This paper presents an optimal and simultaneous allocation of the photovoltaic panel (PV)
and wind turbine (WT) with the reconfiguration of radial distribution networks to reduce …

In this paper, robust planning of hybrid photovoltaic/wind/battery storage (PV/WT/Battery)
system is performed in the distribution network to minimize power losses cost, purchasing …

The penetration of renewable distributed generations (RDGs) into traditional distribution
systems (TDSs) remedies many of its deficiencies and shortcomings. Also, it provides mutual …
