This article discusses the problem of minimizing power loss in unbalanced distribution
systems through phase-balancing. This problem is represented by a mixed-integer …

Load balancing is one of the most widely used techniques to reduce losses and improve
service quality in low-voltage networks. Many methods have been proposed, including the …

In the Romanian electricity distribution systems, the industrial consumption has significantly
reduced, while the residential demand is increasing. Small-scale Distributed Generation …

The low voltage (LV) distribution systems are extended year by year due to the increase in
energy demand. To overcome this issue, distribution system utilities have been focusing on …

This paper addresses the phase-balancing problem in three-phase power grids with the
radial configuration from the perspective of master–slave optimization. The master stage …

The problem of the optimal load redistribution in electrical three-phase medium-voltage
grids is addressed in this research from the point of view of mixed-integer convex …

A large part of the population living in rural areas of developing countries does not have
access to electricity because the investment is high due to the low population density and …

The goal of this work is to create and compare the AC low voltage (LVAC) topology using
various algorithms. In the first phase, the shortest path (SP) algorithm is used to find the …

This paper addresses the planning of low-voltage microgrid by comparing its structure with
and without PV and storage in a rural area for over 30 years. The comparison aims to …

This article addresses the problem of optimal phase-swapping in asymmetric distribution
grids through the application of hurricane-based optimization algorithm (HOA). The exact …
