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 installed capacity of photovoltaic (PV) systems globally reached 177 GW at the end of
2014. The annual rate of installations, 38.7 GW in 2014, continues to increase. A large part …

There are more large-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants being established in rural areas due to
availability of low-priced land. However, distribution grids in such areas traditionally have …

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 …

Distribution microgrids are being challenged by reverse power flows and voltage
fluctuations due to renewable generation, demand response, and electric vehicles …

Model-based Vol/VAR optimization method is widely used to eliminate voltage violations
and reduce network losses. However, the parameters of active distribution networks (ADNs) …

This paper presents a two-stage approach for solving the optimal voltage regulation problem
in unbalanced radial distribution system in the presence of photovoltaic (PV) generation …

In this paper, we propose a distributed voltage control in power distribution networks through
reactive power compensation. The proposed control can operate in a distributed fashion …

This paper proposes the online reconfiguration of active distribution networks. The control of
the active/reactive output power of distributed generation (DG) units combined with the …

With the increasing penetration of renewables, microgrid integration has been considered
as one of the most promising approaches to enhance the utilizations of various types of …
