The increasing integration of natural gas-fired distributed power generators at the
distribution level of the electric power system presents reliability concerns. We present a …

The growing integration of distributed electric power generators means the reliability of
electricity distribution systems will increasingly depend on the reliability of primary energy …

A sequential recourse stochastic optimization approach to solving the long-term integrated
planning problem of a Natural Gas (NG) distribution system and Natural Gasfired Distributed …

Global electricity generation from natural gas is expected to continue in an upward trend in
the coming years thereby increasing the interdependency between the electricity and the …

This paper presents a new planning expansion model of an electricity and natural gas
distribution system that has high penetration of distributed generation based on natural gas …

Natural gas is increasingly becoming the preferred choice of fuel for flexible electricity
generation globally resulting in an electricity system whose reliability is progressively …

Centralized planning of the electricity network, natural gas network and energy hubs (EHs)
implicitly assumes a vertically integrated structure, which ignores the common independent …

This paper presents an integrated expansion planning model of electric and natural gas
distribution networks that plan both networks as one system. The model also considers …

With growing investment in power generation based on natural gas (NG), restrictions in gas
transmission capabilities are becoming increasingly related to the operational planning of …

The design and development of natural gas transmission pipeline networks are
multidisciplinary problems that require various engineering knowledge. In this problem, the …
