Given the necessity of developing more efficient electric distribution systems (EDSs) and providing a continuous energy service for active and passive users, distribution system planners are constantly seeking for more ...

Short-term planning is a decision-making process that aims at ensuring proper performance of electrical distribution systems (EDSs) within a short period of time. In recent years, this process has faced a significant ...

The short-term electrical distribution network (EDN) planning is a strategy that aims to enhance the efficiency of the system and to provide high-quality service to end users. This strategy uses some classical actions and ...

The aim of this study is to identify patterns of the cognitive planning process of young children emerging in the context of a problem solving task. Using a complex dynamic systems approach, this paper depicts the main ...

Urban planning is a complex problem which includes choosing a social objective for a city, finding the associated optimal allocation of agents and identifying instruments like subsidies to decentralize this allocation as ...

This paper addresses the short-term generation planning (STGP) through thermoelectric units. The mathematical model is presented as a Mixed Integer Non Linear Problem (MINLP). Several works on the state of art of the problem ...

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 ...

Pipelines are the safest and least expensive mode for transporting energy products over long distances. Refined products pipelines convey multiple oil derivatives from refineries to marketing terminals, usually through the ...

In this paper a method for solving the Short Term Transmission Network Expansion Planning (STTNEP) problem is presented. The STTNEP is a very complex mixed integer nonlinear programming problem that presents a combinatorial ...
