As promising solutions to various social and environmental issues, the generation and
integration of renewable energy (RE) into microgrids (MGs) has recently increased due to …

Climate change is encouraging a growing interest worldwide to increase renewable
distributed generation (DG) integration into the power grid. DG is free from greenhouse gas …

Distributed generation is a collective term that covers the generation of energy at micro level,
distributed in a location near the end user by using renewable and nonrenewable …

The growth of demand, the need for economic efficiency and optimal utilisation of electric
power networks and the high cost of construction of new power networks result in inevitable …

The principal motivation of the marine predators algorithm (MPA) is the common foraging
technique, including Lévy and Brownian motions in ocean predators coupled with optimal …

Distributed generator (DG) resources are small scale electric power generating plants that
can provide power to homes, businesses or industrial facilities in distribution systems. Power …

Taking advantage of the favorable operating efficiencies, photovoltaic (PV) with Battery
Energy Storage (BES) technology becomes a viable option for improving the reliability of …

With the growth and development of power grids, optimal utilization of electric networks is
