Power flow approximation for DC networks with constant power loads via logarithmic transform of voltage magnitudes
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
This paper proposes a logarithmic transformation of voltages (LTVM) for the power flow in DC grids. This problem is non-linear due to the presence of constant power loads (CPLs), which also introduce a negative resistance ...
Determination of the Voltage Stability Index in DC Networks with CPLs: A GAMS Implementation
(Springer, 2019)
This paper addresses the voltage collapse analysis in direct-current (DC) power grids via nonlinear optimization approach. The formulation of this problem corresponds to an optimization problem, where the objective function ...
Integration of energy storage systems in AC distribution networks: Optimal location, selecting, and operation approach based on genetic algorithms
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
This paper presents a method to find the optimal location, selection, and operation of energy storage systems (ESS- batteries-) and capacitors banks (CB) in distribution systems (DS). A mixed-integer non-linear programming ...
Numerical Approximation of the Maximum Power Consumption in DC-MGs with CPLs via an SDP Model
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019)
This brief addresses the numerical approximation of the maximum power consumption in direct-current microgrids (DC-MGs) with constant power loads through a convex optimizing model. The convex formulation is developed via ...
Sequential quadratic programming models for solving the OPF problem in DC grids
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
In this paper, we address the optimal power flow problem in dc grids (OPF-DC). Our approach is based on sequential quadratic programming which solves the problem associated with non-convexity of the model. We propose two ...

This express brief presents an approximation of the power flow problem for alternating-current (ac) and direct-current (dc) distribution networks by using a linear representation of the hyperbolic constraints i=p/v ↔ II∗ ...
Optimal conductor size selection in radial distribution networks using a mixed-integer non-linear programming formulation
(IEEE Computer Society, 2018)
In this paper a mixed-integer non-linear programming formulation for optimal conductor selection in radial distribution networks is proposed. The objective function in this problem corresponds to the minimization of power ...
Vortex Search Algorithm for Optimal Sizing of Distributed Generators in AC Distribution Networks with Radial Topology
(Springer, 2019)
This paper proposes a vortex search algorithm (VSA) optimization for optimal dimensioning of distributed generators (DGs), in radial alternating current (AC) distribution networks. The VSA corresponds to a metaheuristic ...
