This study presents an efficient algorithm for optimisation of radial distribution systems by a network reconfiguration and capacitor allocation. An important outcome of the proposed approach is the cost savings related to purchasing new capacitor banks. Several reconfiguration and capacitor allocation methods can be found in the literature, but just a few approach the problem by a joint strategy...
In this paper, a method for solving the short term transmission network expansion planning problem is presented. This is a very complex mixed integer nonlinear programming problem that presents a combinatorial explosion in the search space. In order to find a solution of excellent quality for this problem, a constructive heuristic algorithm is presented in this paper. In each step of the algorithm,...
The capacitor placement problem for radial distribution networks aims to determine capacitor types, sizes, locations and control scheme. This is a combinatorial problem that can be formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear program. The paper presents an algorithm inspired in artificial immune systems and developed for this specific problem. A good performance was obtained through experimental tests...
