Demand for flexibility in electricity systems and the transition to the Smart Grid is increasing
opportunities for demand response (DR). However, there are many barriers which prevent …

With the increased variability and uncertainty of net load induced from high penetrations of
renewable energy resources and more flexible interchange schedules, power systems are …

The high penetration of intermittent renewable energy resources in active distribution
networks (ADN) results in a great challenge for the conventional Volt-Var control (VVC). This …

There are more large-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants being established in rural areas due to
availability of low-priced land. However, distribution grids in such areas traditionally have …

A two-level real-time voltage control scheme is proposed to keep voltages within specified
limits in distribution grids using distributed generation units (DGUs). It combines a local and …

The management of distributed energy resources (DER) in power distribution systems and
the concept of demand side management (DSM) are becoming increasingly important in …

The penetration of photovoltaics (PVs) has been increasing in active distribution networks
(ADN), which leads to severe voltage violation problems. PV inverters can provide fast and …

High penetrations of domestic electric vehicles (EVs) in UK low voltage (LV) networks may
result in significant technical problems. This paper proposes an implementable, centralized …

The increased connection of distributed generation (DG), such as photovoltaic (PV) and
wind turbine (WT), has shifted the current distribution networks from being passive …

Despite the positive contributions of controllable electric loads such as electric vehicles (EV)
and heat pumps (HP) in providing demand-side flexibility, uncoordinated operation of these …
