This paper proposes a new power flow formulation for alternating-current distribution networks for radial and mesh topologies. This formulation corresponds to a successive approximation based on a modification of the ...

The problem of the optimal operation of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in AC grids is addressed in this paper from the point of view of multi-objective optimization. A nonlinear programming (NLP) model is presented ...

Here, we explore the possibility of employing proportional-integral passivity-based control (PI-PBC) to support active and reactive power in alternating current (AC) distribution networks by using a supercapacitor energy ...

This paper focuses on the problems of optimal operation of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in distributed networks from a nonlinear programming (NLP) point of view. This proposal contains the active and reactive ...

In this study, we analyzed the optimal location and sizing of distributed generators (DGs) in radial distributed networks using a hybrid master-slave metaheuristic technique. The master stage corresponds to the selection ...

This study analyzes the numerical convergence and processing time required by several classical and new solution methods proposed in the literature to solve the power-flow problem (PF) in direct-current (DC) networks ...

In this paper, we propose a new discrete-continuous codification of the Chu–Beasley genetic algorithm to address the optimal placement and sizing problem of the distribution static compensators (D-STATCOM) in electrical ...

The problem of the optimal siting and sizing of fixed-step capacitor banks is studied in this research from the standpoint of convex optimization. This problem is formulated through a mixed-integer nonlinear programming ...
