Abstract The Network Reconfiguration technique is a method which helps mitigate power
losses from distribution systems. However, the reconfiguration technique can only do this up …

This paper proposes a communication-assisted fault localization, isolation, and restoration
method for microgrids based on a multi-agent system. The proposed system comprises …

Offshore wind power plants have been considered as one of the fastest-growing types of
renewable energy technologies that is superior to the onshore wind farms with low impacts …

Wind power is the source of electrical energy that has grown more over the last years, with
annual rate in installed capacity around 20%. Therefore, it is important to optimize the …

In this paper a computational implementation of an evolutionary algorithm (EA) is shown in
order to tackle the problem of reconfiguring radial distribution systems. The developed …

Wind power is becoming an important source of electrical energy production. In an onshore
wind farm (WF), the electrical energy is collected at a substation from different wind turbines …

This paper presents two hybrid heuristic methods for reconfiguration of the radial electrical
distribution system. The first stage of the proposed techniques is a circular minimum-branch …

Wind energy production have been increasing in last years, with an annual growth of the
installed capacity rate about 20%. It becomes important to develop optimization techniques …

Nowadays, wind energy has an important role in the challenges of clean energy supply. It is
the fastest growing energy source with a increasing annual rate of 20%. This scenario …

This paper deals with the distribution network reconfiguration problem. A hybrid algorithm of
particle swarm optimization (PSO) and tabu search (TS) is proposed as the searching …
