Natural disasters can cause large blackouts. Research into natural disaster impacts on
electric power systems is emerging to understand the causes of the blackouts, explore ways …

This paper surveys the conceptual aspects, as well as recent developments in fault
detection, isolation, and service restoration (FDIR) following an outage in an electric …

Microgrids with distributed generation (DG) provide a resilient solution in the case of major
faults in a distribution system due to natural disasters. This paper proposes a novel …

Microgrids can act as emergency sources to serve critical loads when utility power is
unavailable. This paper proposes a resiliency-based methodology that uses microgrids to …

Truck-mounted mobile emergency generators (MEGs) are critical flexibility resources of
distribution systems (DSs) for resilient emergency response to natural disasters. However …

Distribution system restoration (DSR) is aimed at restoring loads after a fault by altering the
topological structure of the distribution network while meeting electrical and operational …

Recent severe power outages caused by extreme weather hazards have highlighted the
importance and urgency of improving the resilience of the electric power grid. As the …

The loss minimum reconfiguration problem in the open loop radial distribution system is
basically one of complex combinatorial optimization, since the normal open sectionalizing …

This paper presents a review on distributed generation planning in the distribution power
system networks from different power system performances such as minimization of real and …

Extreme weather events, many of which are climate change related, are occurring with
increasing frequency and intensity and causing catastrophic outages, reminding the need to …
