With rapid movement to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gases, there is an
increasing trend to use more electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy sources (RES) …

Maximizing the distribution systems' hosting capacity (HC) for distributed energy resources
(DERs) is an integral part of the efforts to increase the share of renewable energy sources …

Load balancing is one of the most widely used techniques to reduce losses and improve
service quality in low-voltage networks. Many methods have been proposed, including the …

This paper studies an optimal design of grid topology and integrated photovoltaic (PV) and
centralized battery energy storage considering techno-economic aspect in low voltage …

Several studies on the improvement of distribution system technologies have surfaced over
the past decades. Simple and inexpensive system-based methods to improve voltage profile …

The majority of the existing electricity distribution systems are one-way networks, without self-
healing, monitoring and diagnostic capabilities, which are essential to meet demand growth …

The black hole optimization (BHO) method is applied in this research to solve the problem of
the optimal reactive power compensation with fixed-step capacitor banks in three-phase …

The load imbalance in the low-voltage grid phases compromises the load stability also
