The increasing cost of electricity generation and the limitations of fossil fuel resources made
it necessary to optimize the design and operation of distribution systems to guarantee the …

Conductor size selection (CSS) is critical for the optimal design and operation of distribution
networks. CSS, like other aspects of network planning, has become increasingly …

In this article, a new approach is proposed to optimize conductor size selection in radial
distribution network planning for the purpose of minimization of real power loss and …

Power distribution systems (PDS) are the infrastructure and equipment used to distribute
electricity from the transmission system to end-users, such as homes and businesses. PDS …

Nowadays, electrical power system networks are driven harder, and they are required to
deliver more energy. Electrical losses reduction is one of the most important ways to …
