A novel maintenance policy for a multi-component system consisting of an auxiliary and a
critical component is presented. The deterioration process of the components is described …

Introduction of renewable energy sources (RESs) and independently operated multi-
microgrid (MMG) systems have led to new issues in the management of power systems. In …

With the limited availability of resources and time in the power industry, condition-based
maintenance schemes are deemed effective to maintain the system desirable performance …

To improve the transient stability of synchronous generators, overcurrent relays should react
to electrical faults as fast as possible. In some cases, the backup relays cannot be …

Installation of renewable energy sources (RESs) in power systems has been dramatically
increased due to clean nature and declining investment costs in recent years. This growing …

Increasing rate of renewable energy sources (RESs) integration in the distribution system
and development of multi-microgrids (MMG) structures have changed the operational …

In a restructured power system, optimal maintenance coordination is one of the main
concerns of system operators which is closely related to power system reliability and …

The introduction of microgrids (MGs) and renewable energy sources (RESs) has caused
significant shifts in the operation of power systems. Despite many benefits, integration of …

In this paper, a methodology for optimal decision making for electrical systems is addressed.
This methodology seeks to identify and to prioritize the replacement and maintenance of a …

Power systems are stretched across thousands of miles of diverse territories, often in remote
locations, to generate and transfer the energy to geographically dispersed customers. The …
