Distribution system reconfiguration is very important operational aspect of distribution systems. When distribution system is fed from different substations/feeders, and various types of generating stations owned by various agencies, energy purchase cost may vary from owner to owner. In such cases formulating reconfiguration problem with loss minimization may not be acceptable. It is important to...
In distribution systems, the optimal distributed generation (DGs) placement and sizing problem needs to be redefined due to the introduction of renewable energy sources with reactive power handling capabilities. In this paper, an optimal DG placement & sizing problem is solved with reactive power management. A combined optimization problem providing optimal siting and sizing of DGs and scheduling...
With the introduction of renewable based distributed generation, optimal siting and sizing of Distributed Generators (DGs) has become an important problem. This paper attempts a comparative study of two meta-heuristic algorithms named as Improved Harmony Search (IHS) and bacterial foraging-differential evolution (BF-DE), for optimal DG placement. The effect of various levels of DG penetration is also...
Wind energy conversion system (WECS) is one of the major alternatives of conventional sources. The stochastic nature of available wind power requires suitable tools and methods for the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem for cost-effective and reliable operation of power system. An improved wind-thermal management economic dispatch is needed to determine the optimal dispatch scheme for proper utilization...
