This work presents a multi-start metaheuristic for transmission system expansion planning. The transmission network is modelled as a transportation network. The method progresses in two stages: constructive phase and local ...

Transmission expansion planning is a complex problem that deals with the selection of new transmission lines that guarantee meeting future demand/generation and technical limits with the minimal investment cost. The ...

This paper proposes a heuristic constructive multi-start algorithm (HCMA) to distribution system restoration in real time considering distributed generators installed in the system. The problem is modeled as nonlinear mixed ...

Para este trabajo se experimentó con dos variaciones algorítmi­cas del método heurístico de búsqueda local Multi-Start, para la genera­ción y evaluación de la calidad de soluciones provenientes de diferentes escenarios ...

Hub-and-spoke networks are widely studied in the area of location theory. They arise in several contexts, including passenger airlines, postal and parcel delivery, and computer and telecommunication networks. Hub location ...
