The low‐voltage (LV) distribution network is the last stage of the power network, which is
connected directly to the end‐user customers and supplies many dispersed small‐scale …

Controlling active/reactive power in distribution systems has a great impact on its
performance. The placement of distributed generators (DGs) and shunt capacitors (SCs) are …

This paper presents a recently proposed meta-heuristic sine–cosine algorithm combined
with levy flights to reconfigure the distribution network with simultaneous allocation …

Hosting capacity (HC) is the mathematical interpretation for the maximum aggregated
distributed generations (DGs) penetration among the distribution networks. DGs integration …

A new chaotic search group algorithm (CSGA) is proposed in this study for simultaneous
network reconfiguration and allocation of distributed generation (SNR-DG) problem with the …

Both active and reactive power play important roles in power system transmission and
distribution networks. While active power does the useful work, reactive power supports the …

Equilibrium Optimizer (EO) is a new search algorithm inspired by the balance state of a
simple and dynamic mass that is well-mixed on the region of the control volume. In this …

The purpose of distribution network reconfiguration (DNR) is to determine the optimal
topology of an electricity distribution network, which is an efficient measure to reduce …

This paper presents a distribution reconfiguration framework to adapt to the distribution
network considering the twofold random and fuzzy uncertainties of the wind, photovoltaic …
