Voltage Stability of Electric Power Systems presents a clear description of voltage instability
and collapse phenomena. It proposes a uniform and coherent theoretical framework for …

This paper presents an efficient and reliable evolutionary-based approach to solve the
optimal power flow (OPF) problem. The proposed approach employs particle swarm …

This paper presents a particle swarm optimization (PSO) for reactive power and voltage
control (volt/VAr control: VVC) considering voltage security assessment (VSA). VVC can be …

This book explores how developing solutions with heuristic tools offers two major
advantages: shortened development time and more robust systems. It begins with an …

As mentioned in the previous chapter, the continuation method is a mathematical path-
following methodology used to solve systems of nonlinear equations. The numerical …

Power systems as critical infrastructure are an integral part of human society and are
therefore of paramount importance to modern life. Vulnerabilities in the system, that are …

In this paper, a method for placement of distributed generation (DG) units in distribution
networks has been presented. This method is based on the analysis of power flow …

In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) based method is developed for quickly
estimating the long-term voltage stability margin. The investigation presented in the paper …
