This paper surveys the conceptual aspects, as well as recent developments in fault
detection, isolation, and service restoration (FDIR) following an outage in an electric …

The purpose of this survey is to present a critical overview of smart grid concepts, with a
special focus on the role that communication, networking and middleware technologies will …

The rapid increase of phasor measurements on the high voltage power system has opened
opportunities for new applications to enhance the operation of the grid. To take advantage of …

Power distribution networks with distributed generators (DGs) can exhibit complex
operational regimes which makes conventional management approaches no longer …

Electric distribution grid operations typically rely on both centralized optimization and local
non-optimal control techniques. As an alternative, distribution system operational practices …

Today's electricity grid is transitioning to a so-called smart grid. The associated challenges
and funding initiatives have spurred great efforts from the research community to propose …

In recent years, much of the discussion involving “smart grids” has implicitly involved only
the distribution side, notably advanced metering. However, today's electric systems have …

The evolution of the power systems towards the smart grid paradigm is strictly dependent on
the modernization of distribution grids. To achieve this target, new infrastructures …

In recent years the power grid has been undergoing transformative changes due to the
greater penetration of renewable energy sources and increased focus on power demand …

The large-scale, heterogeneous, and distributed nature of the Smart Grid poses many
challenges to be overcome from communication networking to autonomous control and …
