Monitoring systems are expected to play a major role in active distribution grids, and the
design of the measurement infrastructure is a critical element for an effective operation. The …

Deregulation and privatization actions are creating new problems of control, management
and reliability, because of new players and new technologies spreading in distribution …

Future active distribution grids are characterized by rapid and significant changes of
operation and behavior due to, for example, intermittent power injections from renewable …

This paper presents an algorithm to be implemented in a distribution management system
(DMS) that is capable of managing an active distribution network (ADN). This goal is …

Sensing and measurement systems are quintessential to the safe and reliable operation of
electric power grids. Their strategic placement is of ultimate importance because it is not …

The influences of network reconfiguration and distributed generations (DGs) on distribution
system state estimation (DSSE) and measurement placement should not be ignored in …

Energy management systems for the operation of distributed energy resources, distribution
storage devices, and responsive loads will be embedded in distribution management …

State estimation and control approaches in electric distribution grids rely on precise electric
