This paper proposes a novel nested restoration decision system (NRDS), which aims to
minimize unused capacity of distributed generation (DG) for service restoration due to …

The interruption in the power system has a substantial social and economic effect, especially
during natural disasters and faults causing a massive outage. Therefore, the appropriate …

Renewable resource based microgrids provide reliable and cost‐effective electricity with low
carbon emissions. The flexibility of operating in grid‐connected or islanded modes enables …

This paper shows how multiple interconnected microgrids can operate in autonomous mode
in a self-healing medium voltage network. This is possible if based on network self-healing …

This paper proposes a novel comprehensive operation and self-healing strategy for a
distribution system with both dispatchable and nondispatchable distributed generators …

The existing microgrid-based distribution system restoration methods follow traditional
restoration criteria, which achieve a maximum coverage of distribution systems. In extreme …

Self-healing is a major driving force in the smart grid vision. This paper proposes a
comprehensive design and operational planning framework to generate optimum self …

This paper proposes a transformative architecture for the normal operation and self-healing
of networked microgrids (MGs). MGs can support and interchange electricity with each other …

Microgrid formation is a promising solution to enhance resiliency of distribution networks.
The self-adequacy feature of a microgrid enables continuity of power supply through …

Abstract Generic Microgrid Controller (GMC) specifications, developed at the University of
California, Irvine (UCI) to support the standardization of microgrid controllers and guide IEEE …
