• A New Approach for the Monte-Carlo Method to Locate and Size DGs in Distribution Systems 

      Grisales-Noreña L.F.; Montoya O.D.; González-Montoya D.; Ramos-Paja C.A. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018)
      This paper proposes a new approach for a Parallel implementation of Monte-Carlo method aimed for optimal location and sizing of distributed generators in distribution networks. In this approach, a reduction of the solution ...
    • Hybrid Metaheuristic Optimization Methods for Optimal Location and Sizing DGs in DC Networks 

      Grisales-Noreña L.F.; Garzón Rivera O.D.; Montoya, Oscar Danilo; Ramos-Paja C.A. (Springer, 2019)
      In this paper is proposed a master-slave method for optimal location and sizing of distributed generators (DGs) in direct-current (DC) networks. In the master stage is used the genetic algorithm of Chu & Beasley (GA) for ...
    • Linear power flow formulation for low-voltage DC power grids 

      Montoya O.D.; Grisales-Noreña L.F.; González-Montoya D.; Ramos-Paja C.A.; Garces A. (Elsevier Ltd, 2018)
      This paper presents a reformulation of the power flow problem in low-voltage dc (LVDC) power grids via Taylor's series expansion. The solution of the original nonlinear quadratic model is achieved with this proposed ...
    • Optimal Location of DGs in DC Power Grids Using a MINLP Model Implemented in GAMS 

      Montoya O.D.; Garrido Arévalo, Víctor Manuel; Grisales-Noreña L.F.; Gil-González W.; Garces A.; Ramos-Paja C.A. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018)
      This paper addresses the problem of optimal location and sizing of distributed generators (DGs) in direct-current (dc) power grids by using a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulation. The reduction of the ...
    • Optimal Sizing of DGs in AC Distribution Networks via Black Hole Optimization 

      Montoya O.D.; Garrido Arévalo, Víctor Manuel; Grisales-Noreña L.F.; González-Montoya D.; Ramos-Paja C.A. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018)
      This paper presents a metaheuristic optimization technique named back hole optimization (BHO) for solving the problem of optimal dimensioning of distributed generation in radial distribution networks. This problem is ...
