Among different sources of alternate energy, wind and solar are two prominent and
promising alternatives to meet the future electricity needs for mankind. Generally, these …

During recent decades with the power system restructuring process, centralized energy
sources are being replaced with decentralized ones. This phenomenon has resulted in a …

Increasing power demand, aging distribution systems and concerns towards greenhouse
gas emissions have resulted in the increased occurrence of distributed generation (DG) …

Distributed electricity resources (DERs) are power generating sources which are installed to
meet the increasing peak demand. Renewable and zilch emission characteristics are …

In recent years, the landscape of power generation has undergone a significant
transformation, moving from centralized power plants to decentralized power systems. This …

This paper presents a decentralized fault detection technique for power distribution systems
with resonant grounding. The aim of this paper is to detect single phase to ground faults and …

The future smart power grid where Distributed Generations (DGs) are highly integrated and
self-healing is required is intended to provide reliable and quality power in economic and …

Cascading effects in the power grid involve an uncontrolled, successive failure of elements.
The root cause of such failures is the combined occurrence of multiple, statistically rare …

The protection of AC microgrids (MGs) is an issue of paramount importance to ensure their
reliable and safe operation. Designing reliable protection mechanism, however, is not a …
