This survey paper provides a critical overview of optimization formulations for planning and
operation of islanded microgrids, including optimization objectives, constraints, and control …

Microgrids (MGs), as novel paradigms of active Distribution Networks, have been gaining
increasing interest by the research community in the last 20 years. Currently, they are …

This review paper provides a critical interpretation and analysis of almost 150 dedicated
optimization research papers in the field of droop-controlled islanded microgrids. The …

The exhaustive knowledge of optimal power flow (OPF) methods is critical for proper system
operation and planning, since OPF methods are utilized for finding the optimal state of any …

This paper presents a new mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for the
optimal operation of unbalanced three-phase droop-based microgrids. The proposed MINLP …

Distribution networks are becoming increasingly 'smarter', as well as more complex, with the
addition of power electronic devices, information and communication technologies, smart …

Passive distribution networks are rapidly transforming to active networks due to ever
growing penetration of mainly renewable distributed energy resources. The integration of …

This paper proposes an Unscented Transformation-based Probabilistic Power Flow (UT-
PPF) for unbalanced three-phase islanded microgrids. The UT-PPF approach considers the …

This paper presents the application of a hierarchical control scheme for islanded ac
microgrids with a primary droop control and a centralized extended optimal power flow …
