Reliability and costs optimization for distribution networks expansion using an evolutionary algorithm.

Reliability and costs optimization for distribution networks expansion using an evolutionary algorithm.

This paper presents a multiobjective optimization methodology, using an evolutionary algorithm, for finding out the best distribution network reliability while simultaneously minimizing the system expansion costs. A nonlinear mixed integer optimization model, achieving the optimal sizing and locatio...
