Energy utilization and cost minimization of renewable energy microgrids (REM) is an essential and difficult optimization challenge. However, most works have not considered heuristic and non-heuristic algorithms of REM complex equality and inequality requirements. In response, a single-objective optimization model for REM scheduling is developed and presented in this study. This microgrid model uses a very efficient and well-liked meta-heuristic optimization method called the Backtracking Search Algorithm (BSA). The BSA method locates a solution by constructing a solution piece by piece, adding...

ISLAMABAD: National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has directed Power Distribution Companies (Discos) ...

Owing to the acute shortage of electric power in the majority of countries, short-term measures such as installation of Distributed Generators (DGs) have attracted much attention in recent decades. Employment of DGs can provide numerous advantages for the power systems through reduction of losses, escalation of the voltage profile, as well as mitigation of pollutant emissions. However, in case they are not optimally allotted, they may even lead to aggravation of the network operation from different aspects. The aim of this paper is to explore the optimal size and location of DGs using metaheur...

Integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) sources to power grid is increasing rapidly in recent years. Since the PV source is an intermittent source, this causes many challenges to distribution network. To overcome these challenges, a voltage regulation strategy using a developed power management technique for microgrid system is proposed. The technique is based on voltage ride through capability. The active and reactive power flow along with the voltage profile has been deeply investigated to improve the stability of the distribution network. As a testing environment, three microgrid configurati...
