The ever-increasing dependence on electrical power has posed more challenges to power
system engineers to deliver secure, stable, and sustained energy to electricity consumers …

Microgrids are emerging as an important technology in the smart grid era. They are
particularly important from the perspective of integrating new renewable generation into the …

One of the requirements for a resilient distribution system with distributed generators (DGs)
is to restore as many critical loads as possible during a power supply outage of the main …

Given the increasing complexity and scale of power networks, the probability of system
collapse has dramatically increased during natural disasters and malicious cyber attacks …

In the smart grid paradigm, residential consumers should participate actively in the energy
exchange mechanisms by adjusting their consumption and generation. To this end, a proper …

Disastrous and hazardous events (eg, natural disasters and cyber‐physical attacks) have
significantly increased in power systems, which drastically affect their performance. Different …

In this paper, we present a comprehensive and innovative framework for optimizing planning
in power distribution systems. Firstly, we introduce various types of planning involved in …

The planning and operation of distribution systems have significantly changed due to the
extensive osmosis of ICT (information and communication technologies) into power systems …

Small-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), especially for behind-the-meter
applications, are still relatively expensive, but we show that it can be a potent solution to …

This paper presents a decision-making model for the dynamic reconfiguration of distribution
networks after contingency situations based on formulations of the self-healing problem with …
