Many studies have been conducted on the distribution network expansion planning (DNEP)
problem in recent years. The primary goal of this issue is to satisfy electric load demand …

To meet the future power demand, distribution systems (DSs) need to be optimally planned.
In this paper, an optimal expansion planning approach of DS is suggested. The capability of …

Electrical energy is critical to a country's socioeconomic progress. Distribution system
expansion planning addresses the services that must be installed for the distribution …

The integration of distributed generation (DG) resources is growing day by day in electricity
grids. There are many reasons which persuade the operators to utilize DGs such as …

The continuous growth of electricity demand has presented a new challenge for power
system utilities in preserving the system efficiency. Thus, Distributed Generation (DG) has …

Reliability has become a key design aspect in modern energy system's planning. Owing to
the higher fault rate in power distribution systems (PDSs), comparing with generation and …

This paper proposes a mixed‐integer non‐linear programming (MINLP) model for the multi‐
period active low voltage (LV) distribution network expansion planning problem, which can …

A power balance between supply and demand is essential for reliable and stable operation
of power grids. The mismatch between supply and demand causes the frequency deviations …

Distribution expansion planning (DEP) is conceived as one of the main challenges ahead of
distribution companies. DEP problem deals with the optimal expansion of the distribution …

The distributed generation based on renewable energy is gaining importance due to
increased concerns about energy costs, energy security, and environmental issues. To …
