Historically, the development and design of distribution systems (DSs) and microgrids (MGs)
were based primarily on alternating current (AC) as a traditional approach due to many …

The set of optimization problems in electric power systems engineering known collectively
as Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is one of the most practically important and well-researched …

In recent years, various models, which employ green and sustainable energy-supplying
systems, have been presented in different ways to optimize water and energy consumption …

Today's selection of DC microgrid buildings features a diverse set of electrical topologies
and turnkey solutions, each with specific design trade-offs and optimizations. Designers …

This paper proposes the data-adaptive robust optimization for the optimal unit commitment
in the hybrid AC/DC power system. With the convexified branch flow model interconnecting …

Despite the recent interest in direct current (DC) power distribution in buildings, the market
for DC-ready loads remains small. The existing DC loads in various products or research …

This paper proposes a novel reliable hierarchical location-allocation model addressing a
real-world health service network design problem. The model considers several key issues …

We propose a novel global solution algorithm for the network-constrained unit commitment
problem that incorporates a nonlinear alternating current (ac) model of the transmission …

Using piecewise linear (PWL) functions to model discrete data has applications for example
in healthcare, engineering and pattern recognition. Recently, mixed-integer linear …

Successful distributed photovoltaic (PV) planning now requires a hosting capacity
assessment process that accounts for an appropriate model of PV output and its uncertainty …
