This paper presents a Genetic Algorithms (GAs) for integration of various types of Distributed Generations (DGs), Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and Plug-in-Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEVs) with different static load models (DSLMs) such as LM-1, LM-2, LM-3, LM-4 and LM-5, respectively...

Network reconfiguration which is constrained non linear optimization problem has been solved for loss minimization, load balancing, etc. for last two decades using various heuristic search evolutionary algorithms like binary particle swarm optimization, neuro-fuzzy techniques, etc. The...

Isolated grid diesel-based systems have been a basic electricity system in islands in developing countries. Nevertheless, the increasing diesel price and the higher cost of diesel transport to a long distance to the remote islands make the diesel-based systems unsustainable. This study analyzes...

If Vision 2030 of UN to provide electricity to everyone be achieved, it is essential that over 40% of Botswana's population living without electricity be looked into from different perspectives and new models. In all smart grid models, it is often emphasized that the residents and the consumers...

This paper presents a survey on enhancement of power system performances by optimally placed distributed generations in distribution networks. Thedistribution power system performances such as minimization of real power loss, minimization of reactive power loss, improvement of voltage profile,...

The purpose of this study is to assess the policy-relevant effects of incorporating a more proper representation of electricity transmission in multi-sector national policy models. This goal is achieved by employing the KAPSARC Energy Model (KEM), which is the first publicly available...

On august 31, 2014, a generalized power outage impaired the Tunisian power system. This event was particular in the time frame of the cascaded failures, where weak cross-border grid interconnection stood out as a determinant factor. North African interconnections did not support the Tunisian...

In 1988, when the idea of economic liberalism was spreading across nations, the United Kingdom opened an electricity market. Soon, to increase the operational efficiency, other countries followed suit and gradually induced free competition to the electricity market. The reform aims to liberalize...

This paper presents the enhancement and impacts of the system losses, voltage profile and cost by using distributed generations (DGs) of different size in distribution network. Distributed Generation (DGs) is expected to play a key role in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors of...
