Soft open points (SOPs) are power electronic devices that are usually placed at normally
open points of electricity distribution networks to provide flexible power control to the …

The microgrid concept is gaining popularity with the proliferation of distributed generation.
Control techniques in the microgrid are an evolving research topic in the area of microgrids …

This paper proposes a distribution system restoration model which is in response to multiple
outages caused by natural disasters. The proposed restoration model includes the …

The increasing penetration of distributed generators (DGs) exacerbates the risk of voltage
violations in active distribution networks (ADNs). The conventional voltage regulation …

Network reconfiguration is an effective strategy for different purposes of distribution systems
(DSs), eg, resilience enhancement. In particular, DS automation, distributed generation …

Distributed generators including photovoltaic (PV) panels have been integrated dramatically
in active distribution networks (ADNs). Due to the strong volatility and uncertainty, the high …

This paper presents a complete review of MVDC applications and their required
technologies. Four main MVDC applications were investigated: rail, shipboard systems …

The integration of high-penetration distributed generators (DGs) with smart inverters and the
emerging power electronics technology of soft open points provide increased controllability …

The asymmetric integration of distributed generators (DGs) exacerbates the three-phase
unbalanced condition in distribution systems. The serious unbalanced operation causes …

Soft open points (SOPs) are power electronic devices installed to replace normally open
points in active electrical distribution systems. SOPs can provide active/reactive power flow …
