Reconfiguration of Distribution Networks With Distributed Generations Using an Improved Neural Network Algorithm [PDF]
This study aims to suggest a new quasi-oppositional chaotic neural network algorithm (QOCNNA) for simultaneous network reconfiguration and distributed generations allocation (SNR-DG) in radial distribution networks (RDNs). The proposed QOCNNA is developed by combining original NNA with chaotic local search (CLS) and quasi-oppositional-based learning ...
