The deep-decarbonization of local energy systems is vital to achieving our climate protection
obligations. To that effect, the existence of energy modeling and simulation tools that provide …

Because of the importance of smart grids reliability, various stochastic-based simulation
methodologies eg Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) have been developed. In contrast, the …

In this paper, a transactive-based scheduling approach is proposed to optimize EVs
charging/discharging scheduling taking into account technical requirements of EVs with …

Smart grid is a so-called “cyber-power system” because the cyber systems
(control/monitoring/protection, and communication networks) are integrated to power …

In this paper, a robust distribution system expansion planning (DSP) approach is presented
to supply the load growth locally and move toward nearly zero energy local distribution …

Optimal design of micro-grids (MGs) in distribution power systems is one of the major issues
in planning stage for future distribution systems. In this way, clustering a conventional …

Reliability has become a key design aspect in modern energy system's planning. Owing to
the higher fault rate in power distribution systems (PDSs), comparing with generation and …

The challenges surrounding the optimal operation of power systems are growing in various
dimensions, due in part to increasingly distributed energy resources and a progression …

Pulse width modulation (PWM) AC–AC converter is a power electronic device which has
many applications, because it can control the load voltage and active power. This converter …

The main motivation of this study is to address the challenges due to high penetration of
renewable distributed energy resources (DERs) and efficiently benefit from DERs in …
