Integration of renewable energy sources (RES) into traditional power system is one of the
most viable technologies to meet the ever increasing energy demand efficiently. But, this …

The high penetration of renewable generations in the distribution system (DS) has
introduced more uncertainties and technical challenges in the operation of the grid-like …

Motivated by the need to cope with rapid and random fluctuations of renewable generation,
we presents a model that augments the traditional Volt/VAR control through switched …

Connecting distributed generation (DG) to weak distribution networks can often cause
voltage rise problems. Traditionally, these voltage rise problems have been mitigated by …

The management of distributed energy resources (DER) in power distribution systems and
the concept of demand side management (DSM) are becoming increasingly important in …

This paper proposes a new methodology for coordinated voltage support in distribution
networks with large integration of distributed generation and microgrids. Given the …

This paper demonstrates how reactive power injection from distributed generators can be
used to mitigate the voltage/VAR control problem of a distribution network. Firstly, power flow …

This paper describes an overview of the optimal energy coordination/management
approaches for microgrids. The article presents the smart grid environment in conjunction …

This paper presents a comprehensive survey on application of various conventional,
optimization and artificial intelligence (AI) based computational techniques for impact …

Commonly, voltage regulators and capacitor banks are used as control devices for voltage
and reactive power (volt/VAr) control in distribution system. A specific mechanism can be …
