This review aims to exploit a study on different benchmark test functions used to evaluate the
performance of Meta-Heuristic (MH) optimization techniques. The performance of the MH …

Abstract Generally, Synthetic Benchmark Problems (SBPs) are utilized to assess the
performance of metaheuristics. However, these SBPs may include various unrealistic …

The objective of this work is to analyze and compare AC microgrid (ACMG) solutions to
introduce the topic to new researchers. The methodology used to achieve this goal is a …

Power flow (PF) analysis of microgrids (MGs) has been gaining a lot of attention due to the
evolution of islanded MGs. To calculate islanded MGs' PF solution, a globally convergent …

Metaheuristics in recent years has proven its effectiveness; however, robust algorithms that
can solve real-world problems are always needed. In this paper, we suggest the first …

This paper presents a novel load-flow method for unbalanced islanded ac microgrids. The
principles of this method are based on the modified augmented nodal analysis (MANA) …

Conventional power flow (PF) algorithms are ineffective in the droop-regulated islanded
microgrids as the slack bus voltage and system operating frequency are presumed constant …

Dump load (DL) utilization at low demand hours in highly penetrated islanded microgrid is of
great importance to offer voltage and frequency regulation. Additionally, load flow (LF) …

To solve the nonconvex constrained optimization problems (COPs) over continuous search
spaces by using a population-based optimization algorithm, balancing between the feasible …

This paper presents a heuristic approach to address the restoration of droop-controlled
islanded microgrids (DCIMGs) in the event of a sectionalising switch (SS) failure. The …
