This paper proposes a methodology to consider the effects of the integration of DG on planning. Since DG has potential to defer investments in networks, the impact of DG on grid capacity is evaluated. A multi-objective ...

This paper proposes a hybrid particle swarm approach called Simple Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimizer (SMOPSO) which incorporates Pareto dominance, an elitist policy, and two techniques to maintain diversity: a ...

Distribution networks paradigm is changing currently requiring improved methodologies and tools for network analysis and planning. A relevant issue is analyzing the impact of the Distributed Generation penetration in passive ...

Optimization via Simulation (OvS) is an useful optimization tool to find a solution to an optimization problem that is difficult to model analytically. OvS consists in evaluating potential solutions through simulation ...

Due to the renewed interest in distributed generation (DG), the number of DG units incorporated in distribution systems has been rapidly increasing in the past few years. This situation requires new analysis tools for ...
