Under the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources and new smart network
technologies, distribution utilities face new challenges and opportunities to ensure reliable …

Energy storage systems (ESS) have adopted a new role with the increasing penetration of
electric vehicles (EV) and renewable energy sources (RES). EV introduce new charging …

Distribution systems commonly operate with a radial topology, so all models of optimization
problems in these distribution systems should consider radiality in their formulation. This …

Many areas in power systems require solving one or more nonlinear optimization problems.
While analytical methods might suffer from slow convergence and the curse of …

Planning of the electric distribution networks is complex and about upgrading the system to
satisfy the demand and constraints with the best economic plan. The planning alternatives …

This paper addresses the multistage expansion planning problem of a distribution system
where investments in the distribution network and in distributed generation are jointly …

This paper presents a model for use in the problem of multistage planning of energy
distribution systems including distributed generation. The expansion model allows …

Power system applications often require solving one or multiple optimization problems
which are nonlinear. Due to the limitations such as dimensionality constraints and slow …

Large number of rooftop Photovoltaics (PVs) have turned traditional passive networks into
active networks with intermittent and bidirectional power flow. A community based …
