Highly Integrated Community Energy Systems (ICES) greatly but not solely dependent on
combined heat and power (CHP) sources are a viable approach for dealing effectively with …

The rise in installation/reinforcement and maintenance costs of power distribution systems
enforces the planner to adopt an optimal strategy during system planning. The planning …

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

In this paper, we propose a flexible mixed-integer linear programming formulation of the AC
OPF problem for distribution systems, using convexification and linearization techniques …

In this paper a novel approach for optimal location, sizing and determining the service areas
of HV/MV substations in a long-range planning period using pseudodynamic methodology is …

The power grid infrastructure encounters multiple uncertainties such as unprecedented
energy generation from non-dispatchable resources, erratic load, intensifying energy …

Future development of electric power systems must pursue a number of different goals. The
power system should be economically efficient, it should provide reliable energy supply and …

A procedure for supply restoration in distribution networks based on fuzzy risk management
is proposed in this paper. The introduction of fuzzy logic enables more realistic modeling of …

In this paper, the authors present a new multistage framework for reliability-based
Distribution Expansion Planning (DEP) in which expansion options are a reinforcement …

Distribution system planning is a key component to accomplish the service in a fast growing
demand market, both from a technical point of view and from the economic costs …
