This paper provides a literature review of methods and modeling techniques to estimate the
cost of power system outages, along with the value of outage mitigation or system resilience …

Renewable energy sources (RESs), such as wind and solar generations, equip inverters to
connect to the microgrids. These inverters do not have any rotating mass, thus lowering the …

With the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, cyber attacks and natural
disasters, power system reliability is facing unprecedented challenges. To contribute to a …

The increasing penetration of intermittent renewables and the accelerated climate change
are challenging the power system operation in China, and understanding the cost of …

This paper develops a flexible method for estimating the customer cost of a power outage.
We add to the current body of literature by outlining a framework which properly accounts for …

The end-of-life (EOL) strategy of repurposing degraded electric vehicle (EV) batteries in
second use applications holds the potential to reduce first-cost obstacles of EVs. With a …

This paper develops a new microgrid investment planning model that determines cost-
optimal investment and operation of distributed energy resources (DERs) in a microgrid. We …

Motivated by diverse residential electricity outage cost estimates and possible hypothetical
bias of contingent valuation (CV) survey data, this paper proposes a simple formula for …

Small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) are recognized for promoting the livelihoods
of the poor and for economic growth. The purpose of this study is to investigate how load …

Electricity-distribution network operators face several operational constraints in the provision
of safe and reliable power given that investments for network area reinforcement must be …
