I'm Interested in the experiences of those who have used the software and hardware techniques in order to optimize distribution systems. For the software methods, I mean the distribution systems analysis methods using the software optimization techniques such as a Power Flow in Matlab.
For the hardware methods, I mean all the operations without any software support, such as installation a DSTATCOM that is a type of a FACTS device in order to have reactive power compensation in a distribution network. Or installation of new advanced protection devices, or development the distribution lines, troubleshooting and maintenance regularly.
For the combination methods, I mean Hybrid the software and hardware together. For example, Installation a hardware such as a DSTATCOM but wherever the software analysis suggested.

hi dear friend.
this is more better for your Literature too seek that whats the field interests for you to work on that?
power system problems consist of many Challenge such as: protection,security in power system,relibility in power system,dynamic and stady state stabilities .etc.
with respect to this challenge you can selecte your field and methods for that.i.e if you want work on distribution networks stability,you can use fuzzy logic algoritm for Designing stabilizer for your system.if you want just work on generally in filed of stability such as voltage stability,you can use many software the same as Digsilent and PSCAD/EM.
best regards.

Thank you for the response;
Due to the changing nature of the consumer's load in distribution networks, some experts believe that software attempts to simulate the real distribution networks are not so effective (specially on the long term).
I am interested to know the experiences and opinions in this area.
By my opinion, that's depends on the condition of the system.
First of all, a good planning of the distribution system is very important, which will need an analysis software.
But to build a strong distribution system. You may need good switchgear, transformer, SVC, STATCOM with good quality.
Thank you so much for the response.
I think this is a very good answer..
In my opinion, the best way to improve an electrical power distribution network is: first, apply a specific software to identify optimal solutions for a particular problem (of course, including restrictions on the operation of the network) and then, make decisions to implement those solutions.
Since, in general, conventional methods are not good to solve the problem of power flow in feeders, I recommend that you to apply the power summation method to solve the flow problem, and heuristic and metaheuristics algorithms to solve the problem optimization.
Of course, you can choose to install equipment, based only on experience. However, this practice usually results in higher cost of investment and then you may need to solve new problems, that did not exist on the original network.
Dear professor Arias,
I really appreciate for your favorable response.
In practice, We have the changing nature of the consumers load in distribution system, how much it can be effected on accuracy of the obtained results by the heuristic and meta-heuristics algorithms?
Dear friend, you will not have problems. Remember that, in general, the accuracy of the network data and the data of dynamic behavior of the load in a distribution system, is low. Then, comparatively, results obtained with the heuristic search algorithms or metaheuristics are suitable.
Dear professor Arias,
Thank you very much...
My problem is almost solved by your favorable response.
Thanks again...

Concepts of Smart Grids is the ultimate solution to such problems.
