This paper focuses on minimizing the annual operative costs in monopolar DC distribution networks with the inclusion of solar photovoltaic (PV) generators while considering a planning period of 20 years. This problem is ...

Neste trabalho duas abordagens de resolução são propostas para tratar restrições de complementaridade que modelam a atuação de dispositivos de controle de tensão no problema de fluxo de potência ótimo reativo, uma proposta ...

This work addresses the cyclic scheduling of cracking furnace shutdowns in ethylene plants within a short-term production planning model, based on a discrete time representation. Cracking furnaces are continuous parallel ...

The rapid expansion of renewable generation has drastically increased the planning complexity of modern power systems as additional uncertainties, environmental concerns, and technical–economic issues should be accounted ...

The Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) problem consists of finding the optimal settings of reactive power resources within a network, usually with the aim of minimizing active power losses. The ORPD is a nonlinear and ...

This article discusses the problem of minimizing power loss in unbalanced distribution systems through phase-balancing. This problem is represented by a mixed-integer nonlinear-programming mathematical model, which is ...
