Recent improvements in computer processing power have enabled the development of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) to be capable of interpreting a substantial quantity of data at high speeds. The distribution industry is one of the largest users of real-time data during the operation of...

Distribution feeders and substations need to provide additional capacity to serve the growing electrical demand of customers without compromising the reliability of the electrical networks. Also, more control devices, such as DG (Distributed Generation) units are being integrated into...

Dealing with Renewable Energy Resources (RERs) requires sophisticated planning and operation scheduling along with state of art technologies. Among many possible ways for handling RERs, Demand Response (DR) is investigated in the current review. Because of every other year modifications in DR...

Installing energy storage systems (ESS) for wind turbines power can bring many benefits to both power grids and wind power developers. Considering stochastic nature of wind, electric power generated by wind turbines is highly erratic and may affect both the power quality and the planning of...

Generation expansion planning is defined as the problem of finding the technology type, number of generation units, size, and location of candidate plants within the planning horizon. In the deregulated environment rather than the traditional system which considered the cost minimization as the...

Today's, policy makers, governments, and academic experts in flourishing societies are interested in employing power systems considering high reliability, quality, and efficiency factors. Moreover, climatic concerns force power system appliers to utilize these systems more environmental...

The main goal of this paper is to present a Multistage Distribution network Expansion Planning (MDEP) problem in the presence of Distributed Generations (DGs) in a multi-objective optimization framework. The proposed model simultaneously optimizes two objectives: minimization of investment and...

Considering the rapid growth of wind turbines applications in power systems, the dynamic behavior of wind turbines, especially the subsynchronous resonance (SSR) is of interest to researchers. This paper presents an overview of subsynchronous resonance issues in wind turbines including, analysis...

Nowadays, the world is encountering severe challenges in the energy generation sector. Environmental issues like climate change, global warming and Green House Gases (GHGs) and also social issues like dramatic increase in global population and increasing energy demand are the main causes of...

Distributed generation (DG) units are increasing their popularity around the world. Considering the low inertia constant of DGs, the transient stability of them in the network is one of the major issues. In this paper, a new Pareto-based multi-objective problem is proposed for the placement and...
