This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming model to solve the problem of allocating voltage regulators and fixed or switched capacitors (VRCs) in radial distribution systems. The use of a mixed-integer linear ...

This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming model to solve the problem of allocating voltage regulators and fixed or switched capacitors (VRCs) in radial distribution systems. The use of a mixed-integer linear ...

This paper presents a new methodology based on multi-objective optimization techniques to perform an optimized, coordinated and selective allocation of control and protection devices in distribution networks with distributed ...

One of the main causes of power supply interruption in distribution networks is the vegetation. The high cost of tree trimming schedules encourages utilities to look for more efficient ways to manage vegetation. In this ...

Problems as voltage increase at the end of a feeder, demand supply unbalance in a fault condition, power quality decline, increase of power losses, and reduction of reliability levels may occur if Distributed Generators ...

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have achieved a considerable attention due to their theoretical foundations and good empirical performance when compared to other learning algorithms in different applications. However, the ...

This work proposes a strategy management technique based on hybrid peer-to-peer communication system. The main techniques used in the P2PC are: (i) Multi-objective optimization, (ii) Game theory technique, (iii) Non-linear ...
