The convergence analysis of the power flow methodologies for direct current (dc) electrical networks is addressed in this paper. The Banach fixed-point theorem is employed to prove the convergence and uniqueness in the ...

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 paper proposes a new hybrid master–slave optimization approach to address the problem of the optimal placement and sizing of distribution static compensators (D-STATCOMs) in electrical distribution grids. The optimal ...
