In this work, a heuristic model for integrated planning of primary distribution network and secondary distribution circuits is proposed. A Tabu Search (TS) algorithm is employed to solve the planning of primary distribution ...

This paper presents a new model for optimal integrated planning of medium and low voltage distribution systems with penetration of distributed generation (DG) in the low voltage network. The proposed bilevel model takes ...

In this work, a heuristic model for integrated planning of primary distribution network and secondary distribution circuits is proposed. A Tabu Search (TS) algorithm is employed to solve the planning of primary distribution ...

This paper assesses the communication link from smart meters to aggregators as (unlicensed) secondary users that transmit their data over the (licensed) primary uplink channel. The proposed scenario assumes: (i) meters' ...

The use of the multilayer perceptron neural networks (MLPNN) technique is proposed to estimate the future state of use of a licensed channel by primary users (PUs); this will be useful at the spectral decision stage in ...

We would like to thank Dr Puljak for her interest in our article and for providing an interesting point for discussion regarding the classification of the types of primary and secondary research reported in our study. Dr ...

The lack of available spectrum for wireless communications is a threat to the successful deployment of applications designed for intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). The ITS services should be available to a high ...
