Due to increasing amounts of energy being supplied by intermittent renewable energy
sources, future energy systems need to be able to react flexibly to sudden changes. To …

Conservation voltage reduction (CVR) is widely adopted by utilities for peak demand
reduction and energy savings through reducing the voltage level of the electrical distribution …

This paper presents a probabilistic approach for statistical modeling of the loads in
distribution networks. In a distribution network, the probability density functions (pdfs) of …

Different methodologies are available for clustering purposes. The objective of this paper is
to review the capacity of some of them and specifically to test the ability of self-organizing …

The residential sector is a major contributor to the global energy demand. The energy
demand for the residential sector is expected to increase substantially in the next few …

A load model is one of the most important elements in power system simulation and control.
Recently, the constant impedance, constant current, and constant power load in combination …

In the coming decades, highly fluctuating renewable energy sources (RES) might dominate
world-wide electricity systems and thus require appropriate integration in these systems …

This paper presents a physically based model and formulation for industrial load
management. The formulation utilizes an integer linear programming technique for …

Different methodologies are available for clustering and classification purposes. The
objective of the research is to prove the capability of self-organising maps (SOMs) to classify …
