This paper analyzes the problem of optimally sizing a transmission shaft via the vortex search algorithm (VSA) optimizer. The objective function was to minimize the shaft weight through an adequate selection of the diameters ...

This paper addresses the phase-balancing problem in three-phase power grids with the radial configuration from the perspective of master–slave optimization. The master stage corresponds to an improved version of the Chu ...

This article discusses the problem of minimizing power loss in unbalanced distribution systems through phase-balancing. This problem is represented by a mixed-integer nonlinear-programming mathematical model, which is ...

In this study, a new methodology is proposed to perform optimal selection of conductors in three-phase distribution networks through a discrete version of the metaheuristic method of vortex search. To represent the problem, ...

The problem of the optimal load redistribution in electrical three-phase medium-voltage grids is addressed in this research from the point of view of mixed-integer convex optimization. The mathematical formulation of the ...
