The intermittent generation of non-dispatchable renewable distributed generation, along
with the load variability, demand growth and electricity market prices impose operational …

In recent years, significant research efforts have been devoted to the optimal design of
modern power distribution systems. The aim of power distribution planning (PDP) is to …

Highly Integrated Community Energy Systems (ICES) greatly but not solely dependent on
combined heat and power (CHP) sources are a viable approach for dealing effectively with …

Planning of the electric distribution networks is complex and about upgrading the system to
satisfy the demand and constraints with the best economic plan. The planning alternatives …

Due to the increased penetration of distributed energy resources and the presence of
uncertainties in power networks, it is essential to evaluate the uncertainty of system …

Electrical generators of renewable electricity resources are quiet, clean and reliable. Optimal
placement of renewable electricity generators (REGs) results in reduction of objective …

A Reference Network Model (RNM) is a large-scale distribution planning tool that can help
regulators to estimate efficient costs in the context of incentive regulation applied to …

This paper presents a multi-period active distribution network planning (ADNP) with
distributed generation (DG). The objective of the proposed ADNP is to minimize the total …

Multistage distribution network expansion because of load growth is a complex problem in
distribution planning. The problem includes minimizing cost of objective function subject to …

This study presents a multiobjective tabu search algorithm to solve the multistage planning
problem of a distribution system formulated as a multiobjective dynamic mixed integer non …
