This paper presents a review on distributed generation planning in the distribution power
system networks from different power system performances such as minimization of real and …

Distributed generations (DGs) introduce significant uncertainties to restoration of active
distribution networks, in addition to roughly estimated load demands. An adjustable robust …

In this paper, a technique based on nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) is
presented for solving the service restoration problem in an electric power distribution …

With the rapid deployment of the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and distribution
automation (DA), self-healing has become a key factor to enhance the resilience of …

A strategy is presented for the placement of distributed generation (DG) units in the
distribution networks in an uncertain environment. Uncertainties in the system are modelled …

Service restoration is one of the critical functions to enable the future self-healing distribution
system. To restore the distribution system in a timely and reliable manner, the realistic …
