This paper proposes a new meta-heuristic algorithm called Pathfinder Algorithm (PFA) to
solve optimization problems with different structure. This method is inspired by collective …

This study contributes to establish the dynamic reconfiguration integrated optimization
model of active distribution network (ADN) and proposes a novel solving approach based on …

In this paper, a multi-objective framework is proposed for simultaneous network
reconfiguration and power allocation of DGs (Distributed Generations) in distribution …

This paper provides a detailed comparative analysis of optimal sizing of battery-only,
ultracapacitor-only, and battery-ultracapacitor hybrid energy storage systems (ESSs) for a …

Economic dispatch (ED) plays an important role in power system operation. ED problem is a
non-smooth and non-convex problem when valve-point effects of generation units are taken …

This paper attempts to obtain optimal generation scheduling for Combined Heat and Power
Economic Dispatch (CHPED) problems and seeking a possible solution for the global …

Electrical generators of renewable electricity resources are quiet, clean and reliable. Optimal
placement of renewable electricity generators (REGs) results in reduction of objective …

Power loss reduction can be considered as one of the main purposes for distribution system
operators. Reconfiguration is an operation process used for this optimisation by means of …
