This paper proposes a decision support system for the National Interconnected System in Brazil. The developed decision support system is a tool that uses a DC optimal power flow to obtain the operating status of the network ...

This work presents an approach for geometric solution of an optimal power flow (OPF) problem for a two bus system (a slack and a PV busses). Additionally, the geometric relationship between the losses minimization and the ...

Distributed Generation, microgrid technologies, two-way communication systems, and demand response programs are issues that are being studied in recent years within the concept of smart grids. At some level of enough ...

The optimal power flow (OPF) problem is a widely studied subject in the literature that has been solved through classical and metaheuristic optimization techniques. Nowadays, significant advances in computational resources ...

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 ...

This paper proposes a new formulation for the Discrete Reactive Optimal Power Flow problem (DROPF) that aims at reducing the number of control actions of the problem. For such a purpose, additional constraints are introduced ...

This paper presents a methodology for the placement and sizing evaluation of distributed generation (DG) in electric power systems. The candidate locations for DG placement are identified on the bases of Locational Marginal ...
