With high penetration of renewable generation and distributed energy resources, distribution
systems are facing new operational challenges due to their intermittency and uncertainty. To …

The deployment of energy storage systems (ESSs) is a significant avenue for maximising the
energy efficiency of a distribution network, and overall network performance can be …

Information and communication technologies (ICT) represent a fundamental element in the
growth and performance of smart grids. A sophisticated, reliable and fast communication …

Optimal power flow (OPF) is considered for microgrids, with the objective of minimizing
either the power distribution losses, or, the cost of power drawn from the substation and …

The term smart grid refers to a modernization of the electrical network consisting in the
integration of various technologies such as dispersed generation, dispatchable loads …

The concept of microgrid hierarchical control is presented recently. In this paper, a
hierarchical scheme is proposed which includes primary and secondary control levels. The …

In this paper, a distributed convex optimization framework is developed for energy trading
between islanded microgrids. More specifically, the problem consists of several islanded …

Soft open points (SOPs) are power electronic devices that may replace conventional
normally-open points in distribution networks. They can be used for active power flow …

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

This paper deals with the improvement of the transient response and harmonic,
subharmonic, and dc-offset voltage rejection capability of a grid voltage sequence detection …
