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 ...

This express brief presents the stability analysis of single-phase microgrids (SP-MG) operating under master-slave connection with constant power terminals. The SP-MG is composed of linear elements, nonlinear loads, and ...

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 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 ...

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 paper shows a Wirtinger's-Calculus based loadflow methodology for power distribution grids. This approach allows to obtain an algorithm which works directly on the complex domain maintaining some useful symmetries and ...

This paper presents the application of the backward/forward sweep iterative method for solving the power flow problem in direct current networks with radial structure, considering resistive and constant power loads. The ...

This express brief proposes two new iterative approaches for solving the power flow problem in direct current networks as efficient alternatives to the classical Gauss-Seidel and Newton-Raphson methods. The first approach ...
