In this work, the Optimal Transmission Switching (OTS) problem is solved in order to optimize the operation cost of an electrical power system. This is accomplished by disconnecting some transmission lines, which enables ...

Commonly, in the transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) problem, the objective is to define the minimal-cost investment in new transmission devices, e.g., the transmission lines and transformers, for the system to ...

This study presents a newmethodology for the optimal allocation of switching devices in radial electrical distribution systems (EDSs). A specialised greedy randomised adaptive search procedure (GRASP) algorithm defines the ...

Reliability of power supply is related, among other factors, to the control and protection devices allocation in feeders of distribution systems. In this way, optimized allocation of sectionalizing switches and protection ...
