Abstract Information and communication technology (ICT) is a vital addition to modern
society living and is a crucial feature of the smart grid. It boosts the power system with the …

Power systems with a high share of renewable energy sources face new challenges with
respect to reliability management. Scientific literature argues that a paradigm shift is needed …

Extreme weather hazards, as high-impact low-probability events, have catastrophic
consequences on critical infrastructures. As a direct impact of climate change, the frequency …

This paper presents a methodology for optimal distributed generation (DG) allocation and
sizing in distribution systems, in order to minimize the electrical network losses and to …

A new method for power system reliability analysis using the fault tree analysis approach is
developed. The method is based on fault trees generated for each load point of the power …

A systematic method is developed for supply reliability assessment of natural gas pipeline
networks. In the developed method, the integration of stochastic processes, graph theory …

Society depends on services provided by critical infrastructures, and hence it is important
that they are reliable and robust. Two main approaches for gaining knowledge required for …

In this paper, a probabilistic methodology for estimating spinning reserve requirement in
microgrids is proposed. The spinning reserve amount is determined by a tradeoff between …

This work presents a methodology for evaluating the impact of DG units installation on
electric losses, reliability and voltage profile of distribution networks. The losses and voltage …

This paper presents a systematic analytical approach for the well-being assessment of small
autonomous power systems (SAPSs) with wind and solar energy sources. The proposed …
