In recent years, significant research efforts have been devoted to the optimal design of
modern power distribution systems. The aim of power distribution planning (PDP) is to …

Many studies have been conducted on the distribution network expansion planning (DNEP)
problem in recent years. The primary goal of this issue is to satisfy electric load demand …

Energy storage represents one of the key enabling technologies to facilitate an efficient
system integration of intermittent renewable generation and electrified transport and heating …

Electrification of transport fleets and heating sectors is seen as one of the key strategies to
further reduce the use of fossil fuels and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions. However …

Delivering low-carbon heat will require the substitution of natural gas with low-carbon
alternatives such as electricity and hydrogen. The objective of this paper is to develop a …

Rapid increases in distributed energy resources on distribution systems are prompting
research efforts to improve and evaluate electric power distribution algorithms; however …

The interaction between electricity and heat systems will play an important role in facilitating
the cost effective transition to a low carbon energy system with high penetration of …

Although energy for heating and cooling represents the largest proportion of demand, little
progress towards meeting environmental targets has been achieved in these sectors. The …

With the global effort to reduce carbon emissions, clean technologies such as electric
vehicles and heat pumps are increasingly introduced into electricity distribution networks …

Electric heat pumps (HPs), hybrid heating technology and district heating networks (DHN)
are the main low-carbon heating technologies that can deliver the ambitious carbon …
