Renewable energy sources are key enablers to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and to
cope with the anthropogenic global warming. Their intermittent behaviour and limited …

This review covers the current state of “smart” grid research and demonstration projects. At
present, smart elements are making their way into traditional electricity grid systems at every …

A stability study of distribution networks with a high penetration of distributed generators
(DGs) actively supporting the network is presented in this paper. A possible way of mitigating …

High solar Photovoltaic (PV) penetration on distribution systems can cause over-voltage
problems. To this end, an Optimal Tap Control (OTC) method is proposed to regulate On …

The increasing penetration of fluctuating photovoltaic (PV) generation brings operational
challenges for distribution system operators, such as introducing the voltage rise problem …

This thesis analyzes the technical and economic potential of autonomous voltage control
strategies for improving distribution grid operation with high shares of photovoltaic (PV) …

As much as possible, it is important that the smart grid is secure from cyber-attacks. A vital
part of ensuring the security of smart grids is to perform a cybersecurity risk assessment that …

To correctly estimate the hosting capacity, the proposed approach has been designed as the
basis of a tool to analyze the scalability and replicability potential of smart grids solution. The …

This paper focuses on a scenario with a high amount of renewable generators (DGs) in the
distribution grid; a local grid operator (DSO) utilizes reactive power provision by the DGs, to …

Development and evaluation of communication-based control applications for networked
Smart Grid systems are challenging tasks. The complexity is caused by the tight interaction …
