A multitude of optimization tasks ensue in the context of the smart grid, often exhibiting
undesirable characteristics like non-convexity, mixed types of design variables and multiple …

Multi-population based nature-inspired optimization algorithms have attracted wide research
interests in the last decade, and become one of the frequently used methods to handle real …

As the load steadily rises in a distribution system (DS), electrical power generation is
improved. Inserting Distributed Generation (DG) unit in a DS has benefits such as …

Latterly, reduction of power loss in distribution system is the objective of many researches
due to its impact on total costs and voltage profiles. It can be handled by optimal restructure …

This paper proposes a two-stage energy management scheme (EMS) for AC-DC hybrid
smart distribution systems (DSs). The proposed EMS is formulated as a multi-objective …

Recently, losses reduction gained a great deal of attention in distribution system due to low-
voltage level and the high-current passing through the lines, pushing the distribution utilities …

A combined algorithm for reconfiguring and placement of energy storage systems, electric
vehicles, and distributed generation (DG) in a distribution network is presented in this paper …

In recent years, the reconfiguration of the distribution network has been proclaimed as a
method for realizing power savings, with virtually zero cost. The current trend is to design …

Distribution networks are currently the main focus of modernization in electric power
systems. For instance, to deal with emerging and increasingly challenging scenarios (eg …

The energy demand all over the world is increasing rapidly day by day. In traditional power
systems, power plants are located far away from the consumer's premises. This in turn …
