Communication infrastructure (CI) in microgrids (MGs) allows for the application of different
control architectures for the secondary control (SC) layer. The use of new SC architectures …

In this paper, we review the emerging challenges and research opportunities for voltage
control in smart grids. For transmission grids, the voltage control for accommodating wind …

The notion of secure operation of power systems, with its present semantic, dates back to the
last decade. Since then, tremendous research effort has investigated secure operation of the …

Microgrids (MG) treat local energy supply issues effectively and from a point of view of the
distribution grid, may be a power supply or virtual load. Despite holding a myriad of benefits …

The strong mutual influence of Demand Response (DR) and Volt/Var Optimization (VVO) on
each other has largely been ignored in most of the previous schemes. Those research …

Interconnection of microgrids (MGs) provides the opportunity of increasing loadability and
enhancing reliability by allowing power exchange among individual MGs. Control of …

This paper investigates an optimal sizing strategy for an islanded building microgrid. The
microgrid composites a rooftop Photovoltaic (PV) system, a Battery Energy Storage System …

Peak power consumption is one of the most critical issues for power system operation and
sustainability. To overcome this issue, the available energy resources may be utilized in an …

In contrast to conventional static microgrids (MGs), MGs with dynamic and adjustable
territories (ie, dynamic MGs) are proposed and implemented in this article. Dynamic MGs are …

Unbalance or asymmetry in the distribution network is a well‐known power quality issue. In
the modern active distribution system, with the increasing penetration of renewables, this …
