This paper describes a graphical user interface (GUI) developed in MATLAB that provides a user-friendly environment for analyzing the power loss behavior in distribution networks with radial configurations. This GUI allows ...

Colombian power system is experienced important changes due to the large scale integration of renewable power generation based on solar and wind power; added to the fact that direct current networks have taken important ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
