A smart distribution system should restore service to interrupted customers as quickly as
possible after an outage. Upgrading manual switches to remote-controlled switches (RCSs) …

This paper proposes an optimal operational scheduling framework to be taken in use in the
distribution management system (DMS) as the heart of smart active distribution networks …

Due to the penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs) with probabilistic natures into
microgrids (MGs), optimal scheduling and reconfiguration (RG) processes are associated …

Increasing penetration of variable loads and renewable generation will cause the
conventional operation strategy of the distribution system to become less certain and …

In case of abnormal conditions, distribution systems should be reconfigured to overcome the
impacts of outages such as overloads of network components and increased power losses …

Wind power is the source of electrical energy that has grown more over the last years, with
annual rate in installed capacity around 20%. Therefore, it is important to optimize the …

This paper focuses on the global optimality of the relaxed solutions of a multi-timescale co-
optimization problem. The proposed co-optimization framework involves the multi-timescale …

The losses in the distribution networks due to the line resistance decrease the overall
efficiency of the power distribution. Reducing the power losses and regulating the voltages …

Feeder reconfiguration (FRC) is an important function of distribution automation system. It
modifies the topology of distribution network through changing the open/close statuses of tie …

This paper addresses the joint stochastic energy and reserve scheduling problem in
microgrids (MGs). The established approach proposes a novel high‐performance energy …
