The involvement of Non-Dispatchable Distributed Generation (NDDG) in Distribution System (DS) increases the Switching Operations (SOs) of Underload Tap Changer (ULTC) and Shunt Capacitors (SCs). This decreases the life of ULTC and SCs, therefore in this paper a novel method is proposed for decreasing the SOs of ULTC and SCs. The proposed method involves two stages in first stage forecasting of load and forecasting of output power of two 3MWs DFIGs
