Optimizing the schedule of thermal generators is probably the most important task when the
operation of power systems is managed. This issue is known as the unit commitment …

A new optimization algorithm based on an improved imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA-
DE) is proposed to reduce the energy consumption of a multi-chiller system. The …

With increasing demand in electrical energy and the development of distributed generation
technologies, microgrids are formed to avoid the consequences of these changes …

This paper presents a stochastic multi-layer energy management for a multi-microgrid
(MMG) based smart distribution network (SDN). Also, all network constraints have been …

As decarbonisation of the power sector is essential to achieve Japan's target of net-zero
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, it becomes crucial to address how the electricity …

In restructured power systems, Independent System Operator manages and handles the
Reliability-Security Constraint Unit Commitment problems including reliability and security …

This paper seeks to quantify the effects of the increasing penetration level of renewable
distributed generation and energy storage systems on the regulated electricity market over …

In this paper, a new metaheuristic technique based on genetic algorithm (GA), adaptive
strategy and two constraint handling repair mechanisms is proposed for solving the Security …

This study focuses on multi-layer energy management systems of multi-microgrid smart
distribution networks. Evaluation of effectiveness in real power losses for energy …

In the deregulated power environment, including Central operator (CO) and Micro Grids
(MGs), different parts of the network are dedicated to the private sector, and each of them …
