Power system operators are in search of proven solutions to improve the penetration levels
of distributed generators (DGs) in the grid while minimizing cost. This transition is driven …

This paper presents a review of the impact of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) panels on the
distribution grid. This includes how rooftop PVs affect voltage quality, power losses, and the …

The optimization of energy systems, including various kinds of energies, based on the
concepts of energy hub (EH) has received a great deal of attention. Different methods have …

Transformers are one of the more expensive pieces of equipment found in a distribution
network. The transformer's role has not changed over the last decades. With simple …

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) have been identified as an option that can reduce criteria
pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions associated with the transportation sector. The …

With the ever-increasing growth of electric vehicles (EV) s in the power industry, their
significance as a flexible load has increased drastically. On the other hand, uncontrolled …

In the coming years, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) will strongly penetrate the
French car fleet. Their impact on each element of the electric distribution grid needs to be …

Uncertainties of renewable energy sources (RESs) such as wind turbine (WT) and
photovoltaic (PV) units are one of the considerable challenges of prosumer microgrids …

This paper focuses on the realistic remaining service life prediction and monitoring system of
power transformers, using an algorithm developed by the authors. The power transformer is …

In recent years, the concept of “asset life extension” has become increasingly important to
safety critical industries including nuclear power, offshore oil and gas, petrochemical …
