This study focuses on the optimal design of DER (distributed energy resource) systems
coupled with heating, cooling, and power distribution networks. A superstructure-based …

This study focuses on the optimal design of district-scale DER (distributed energy resource)
systems in which energy is produced outside energy-consuming buildings and sent to the …

The optimal combination of energy conversion and storage technologies with local energy
demand is a key but in its result not obvious challenge of distributed energy. Although a …

Optimization models for the solution of planning problems related to power distribution
system (PDS) have been studied and used for decades. The main objective is to optimize …

The depletion of fossil fuels and climate change pose huge challenges to sustainable
development. How to meet the increasing energy demands in an efficient and …

The introduction of distributed generation (DG) is leading to a fundamental change in how
distribution networks are utilized and viewed. Distribution networks are now used as a …

This study aims to optimize DER (distributed energy resource) system with respect to
economic and environmental objectives. In particular, we developed a mixed-integer linear …

This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) super-structure model for
the optimal design of distributed energy generation systems that satisfy the heating and …

China faces enormous challenges as it strives to meet its increasing energy demands.
Distributed energy systems (DESs) provide a good opportunity to tackle these challenges by …

If energy storage units are installed and operated in a coordinated manner, they can
improve efficiency of the transmission and distribution systems. This paper presents a bilevel …
