Improving the reliability of microgrids as well as satisfying technical and economic
constraints are very important challenges for distribution system operators (DSOs), which …

Optimal switch placement is of paramount importance for improving the reliability of power
distribution networks. In this context, this work proposes a model based on mixed-integer …

Optimal power flow (OPF) is a complex, highly nonlinear, NP-hard optimization problem, in
which the goal is to determine the optimal operational parameters of a power-related system …

One of the most important factors of socio-economic development in any country is the
quality of electricity sources. Considering the sensitivity of electronic devices and the …

The main objective of power distribution utilities is to provide power to their consumers with
the smallest number and duration of interruptions, which is why they are evaluated by …

Optimal active–reactive power dispatch problems (OARPD) are considered large scale
optimization problems with a high nonlinear complexity. Usually, in OARPD the objective is …

This paper explores the application of a machine learning approach to predict equipment
failure rates in power distribution networks, motivated by the significant impact of power …

In the present paper, a new grey relational analysis-based Fuzzy Logic (FL) model has been
proposed to determine the overall health index of transformers. Health of transformer is …
