Many studies have been conducted on the distribution network expansion planning (DNEP)
problem in recent years. The primary goal of this issue is to satisfy electric load demand …

One of the big concerns when planning the expansion of power distribution systems (PDS)
is reliability. This is defined as the ability to continuously meet the load demand of …

Reliability improvement is regarded as a crucial task in modern distribution network
expansion planning. Compared to previous works, this paper presents a bi-level …

In this paper, a multi-agent framework is proposed to address the expansion planning
problem in a restructured active distribution network. In this framework, the objective and …

This paper presents a comprehensive methodology for long-term planning in distribution
networks to address the challenges associated with integrating renewable energy resources …

With the global effort to reduce carbon emissions, clean technologies such as electric
vehicles and heat pumps are increasingly introduced into electricity distribution networks …

In this paper, we present a comprehensive and innovative framework for optimizing planning
in power distribution systems. Firstly, we introduce various types of planning involved in …

This paper proposes a novel approach for the reliability cost-based optimization of
Distribution Systems (DS), considering tie line-based network reconfiguration method with …

Power distribution networks (PDNs) are principally operated and planned in a radial—open-
loop—structure to satisfy several techno-economic goals. It is, therefore, indispensable to …

Different types of switches play different roles in the fault management procedure in
particular context of smart grid, which have different impact on system reliability. The …
