In the past, power system planning was based on meeting the load duration curve at
minimum cost. The increasing share of variable generation (VG) makes operational …

The electric power sector is currently undergoing several important transitions, which
individually and collectively have the potential to transform the design, operation, and …

This study presents a comprehensive review of the automated classification in partial
discharge (PD) source identification and probabilistic interpretation of the classification …

Capacity planners in developing countries frequently use screening curves and other
system-independent metrics such as levelized cost of energy to guide investment decisions …

This study presents the potential role of thermal power generation in a future power system
with high shares of variable generation while considering different sources of demand side …

Climate change poses a major challenge to society. Different sectors of society will need to
respond in different ways; for the power sector, the response will require the aggressive …

The global electricity demand is rapidly growing due to population increase and
industrialization. However, the reliance on fossil fuels and other non-renewable energy …

This dissertation demonstrates a novel integrated electric power system planning framework
that incorporates distributed energy resources (DERs), flexible and price-responsive …

In 1998, the signing of the white paper on Energy Policy pushed South Africa to invest in the
development of renewable energy. Following the introduction of the Renewable Energy …

Due to the physics of electricity, and the current high costs of storage technologies, electricity
generation and demand need to be instantaneously balanced at all times. The large-scale …
