Machine learning is a subcategory of artificial intelligence, which aims to make computers
capable of solving complex problems without being explicitly programmed. Availability of …

Nowadays, moving toward new technologies and smart grids is a successful way of
overcoming distribution system challenges. Smart grids facilitate demand-side management …

In the past decade, enhancing the reliability of distribution networks by means of optimal
switch placement has attracted much attention. In the case of failures in a distribution feeder …

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

In order to provide a reliable service and supply the demand most of the time, all generators
in a power grid should be subjected to an effective maintenance plan. The smarter the …

The judicious placement of disconnecting switches is an efficient means to enhance the
reliability of distribution networks. Aiming at optimizing the investment in these switches, this …

Power delivery with high reliability is one of the main objectives of any distribution system. In
this regard, system operators are adapting the traditional distribution systems with …

A regulatory framework is presented to motivate distribution companies (DISCOs) to install
energy storage systems (ESSs) in their distribution system. The reward-penalty schemes …

In distribution systems, reliability insurance and financial performance are often hard to
reconcile due to a natural monopoly. While many studies have proposed regulatory design …

This paper focuses on expansion co-planning studies of natural gas and electricity
distribution systems. The aim is to develop a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) …
