Appropriate location and sizing of distributed generation (DG) units in a radial distribution
system (RDS) play a significant role in the improvement of its overall performance. Indeed …

This paper addresses the applicability of a resilient reconfiguration of power distribution
networks (PDNs) via inserting on-line tie switches (TSs) whenever necessary. Recent …

The distribution network is the most exposed part of the electrical power system relative to
different abnormal events; therefore, it reports the highest occurrence rates in terms of …

Electrical power systems represent a fundamental part of society, and their efficient
operations are of vital importance for social and economic development. Power systems …

The problem of optimal phase-balancing in three-phase asymmetric distribution networks is
addressed in this research from the point of view of combinatorial optimization using a …

The paper shows a method of optimizing local initiatives in the energy sector, such as
energy cooperatives and energy clusters. The aim of optimization is to determine the …

This paper addresses the reconfiguration of two link power distribution networks (PDNs)
under two scenarios: horizontal and vertical interconnections. Recent metaheuristic …

Abstract Service restoration (SR) consists of automatically generating and executing a plan
to restore the service in healthy zones using the least number of maneuvers after detecting …

This paper deals with the problem of the optimal selection and location of batteries in DC
distribution grids by proposing a new mixed-integer convex model. The exact mixed-integer …

Nowadays, optimization methodologies based on combinatorial strategies (ie, metaheuristic
methods) and exact methods can be easily found through out the scientific literature in all …
