Smart grid (SG), an evolving concept in the modern power infrastructure, enables the two-
way flow of electricity and data between the peers within the electricity system networks …

Distribution system provides a link between the high voltage transmission system and low
voltage consumers thus I 2 R loss in a distributed system is high because of low voltage and …

Of the... big three... components of the electricity infrastructure, distribution typically gets the
least attention, and no thorough, up-to-date treatment of the subject has been published in …

Power generated in generating station is transmitted through transmission lines and fed to
the consumers through distribution substation. The power distributed into the network has …

Motivated by the need to cope with rapid and random fluctuations of renewable generation,
we presents a model that augments the traditional Volt/VAR control through switched …

This paper presents a novel approach that determines the optimal location and size of
capacitors on radial distribution systems to improve voltage profile and reduce the active …

In recent years, scientists have extensively focused on renewable energy resources such as
wind power and solar units to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels as the main source of …

The problem of capacitor allocation for loss reduction in electric distribution systems has
been extensively researched over the past several decades. This paper describes the …

In this paper, a new design methodology for determining the size, location, type and number
of capacitors to be placed on a radial distribution system is presented. The objective is to …

Heuristic search strategies are used to determine the optimum capacitor placement and
ratings for distribution systems. In the heuristic approach proposed a small number of critical …
