The distribution system is undergoing profound transformations with decarbonization efforts
through the rapid integration of renewable energy and the consequent transition of the …

One of the big concerns when planning the expansion of power distribution systems (PDS)
is reliability. This is defined as the ability to continuously meet the load demand of …

Integration of smart grid technologies in distribution systems, particularly behind-the-meter
initiatives, has a direct impact on transmission network planning. This paper develops a …

To achieve high reliability, the urban distribution networks are mesh-constructed and radial-
operated, in which the outage load can be restored to adjacent feeders via tie-lines after …

Energy storage systems (ESSs) are useful devices to ensure the reliable operation of
microgrids especially those with high penetration of renewable energies. The microgrid …

Reliability is an essential factor in distribution networkt expansion planning. However,
standard distribution reliability assessment techniques rely on quantifying the impact of a pre …

A new mathematical model for the multistage distribution network expansion planning
problem considering reliability is proposed in this paper. Decisions related to substation and …

In this paper, a multi-agent framework is proposed to address the expansion planning
problem in a restructured active distribution network. In this framework, the objective and …

Integration of distributed generation (DG) in distribution network changes the topological
structure of distribution network. Meanwhile, the location and size of DG as well as the …

Continuity of supply plays a significant role in modern distribution system planning and
operational studies. Accordingly, various techniques have been developed for reliability …
