The future grid is evolving into a smart distribution network that integrates multiple
distributed energy resources ensuring at the same time reliable operation and increased …

Integration of renewable energy sources (RES) into traditional power system is one of the
most viable technologies to meet the ever increasing energy demand efficiently. But, this …

Volt-VAR control is critical to keeping distribution network voltages within allowable range,
minimizing losses, and reducing wear and tear of voltage regulating devices. To deal with …

Penetration of renewable energy in power systems has been increasing in the past decades
in response to increased global electricity demand and concerns for the environment …

Connecting distributed generation (DG) to weak distribution networks can often cause
voltage rise problems. Traditionally, these voltage rise problems have been mitigated by …

For distribution networks with a high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) systems, overvoltage is
a common and major issue that needs be addressed to not only assure reliable and secure …

In a residential area where many households have installed rooftop photovoltaic (PV) units,
there is a reverse power flow from the households to the substation when the power …

A new approach for reactive power management with volt-var control, but considering
inverters' capacity and sensitivity to the critical bus is presented in this paper. The approach …

The management of distributed energy resources (DER) in power distribution systems and
the concept of demand side management (DSM) are becoming increasingly important in …

During a major outage in a secondary network distribution system, distributed generators
(DGs) connected to the primary feeders as well as the secondary network can be used to …
