On optimal multistage electric power distribution networks expansion planning

Optimisation of electric distribution systems: A review

“…In [90], imperialistic competitive algorithm (ICA) [91] has been used both for optimising the performance of existing distribution system and expansion planning. In a single-objective optimisation framework, overall investment and operational cost has been minimised.…”

“…In the second type, named as "stage by stage planning", the planning is conducted for multiple stages while the stages are planned one after the other. In [26,42,43,46,47,59,90,142], stage by stage planning has been done. In the third planning type, named as "simultaneous multistage planning", all the stages are considered simultaneously.…”

Speed control of induction motor supplied by wind turbine via Imperialist Competitive Algorithm

“…This movement is a simple model of assimilation policy that was perused by some imperialist states [37]. Fig.…”

“…ICA is recently addressed that is inspired by the imperialistic competitive [34]. ICA has shown good performance in solving optimization problems in different areas such as linear IM design [35], reconfiguration problem of distribution systems [36], optimal sitting and sizing problem of distributed generation [37,38], economic power dispatch [39] and emission dispatch [40,41]. It is a meta-heuristic optimization method that is based on modeling of the attempts of countries to command other courtiers [37].…”

Distribution network expansion planning and DG placement in the presence of uncertainties

“…The distribution network expansion planning is defined as a methodology for representing the place and type of the new lines and the size and place of the new transformers [8,9]. An overview of the methods developed for the distribution network expansion planning is presented in [10,11], where different methods have been reviewed and compared.…”
