The need to diversify power generation sources, increase security of supply, incorporate sustainability in energy sources and reducing fuel usage and emissions has significantly led to the integration of variable renewable ...

In the recent past, much attention has been given to models for generation and transmission equipment. The representation of the loads has received comparatively less attention and continues to be an area of greater ...

Penetration of distributed generation (DG) units in distribution system has increased rapidly stimulated by reduced network power loss, improved bus voltage profile and better power quality. Appropriate location and capacity ...

Voltage stability challenge in power systems remains one of the major concerns in system planning and operation. The ability of a power system to maintain acceptable voltage levels at all buses in the system under normal ...

This paper proposes a new optimization technique that uses Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in residential grid connected photovoltaic systems. The optimization technique targets the sizing of the battery storage system. ...
