Abstract In an islanded Micro-Grid (MG), the use of conventional power flow analysis is not
effective as the voltage of slack bus and the frequency of the MG are assumed to be …

This tutorial summarizes recent advances in the convex relaxation of the optimal power flow
(OPF) problem, focusing on structural properties rather than algorithms. Part I presents two …

Distributed resources (DR) provide several challenges to distribution system analysis due to
the models and solution techniques that are required for adequate representation and …

A direct approach for unbalanced three-phase distribution load flow solutions is proposed in
this paper. The special topological characteristics of distribution networks have been fully …
