Soft open points (SOPs) are power electronic devices that may replace conventional
normally-open points in distribution networks. They can be used for active power flow …

The paper optimizes the placement of soft open points (SOPs) devices, shunt capacitor
banks (SCBs), and distributed generators (DGs) in the IEEE 69-node distribution power grid …

This paper introduces the concept, theory of operation and applications of soft open points
for direct current networks (DCSOPs). The DCSOP is based on a bidirectional DC–DC …

A doubly-fed induction generator is the most widely used as a wind turbine generator. Due
to its drawbacks, doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is extremely sensitive to grid …

This paper proposes a mixed-integer particle swarm optimization (MIPSO) for coordinated
optimal placement of energy storage system (ESS) and capacitor bank (CB). In the propose …

To investigate the effectiveness and robustness of our system a model was performed using
ETAP. The simulation results improve that we can minimize greatly the power losses in the …

The integration of renewable energy into the distribution network leads to the use of
electronic components such as SOP (Soft Open Point). This latest reduces the overloads …

The present work investigates the FACTS devices role to improve the voltage profile of
loads. Our analysis used a static synchronous compensator STATCOM and Static Var …
