Chance constrained programming using non-Gaussian joint distribution function in design of standalone hybrid renewable energy systems
Kamjoo, Azadeh; Maheri, Alireza; Putrus, Ghanim A. - In: Energy 66 (2014) C, pp. 677-688
Performance of a HRES (hybrid renewable energy system) is highly affected by changes in renewable resources and therefore interruptions of electricity supply may happen in such systems. In this paper, a method to determine the optimal size of HRES components is proposed, considering...

Methods for multi-criteria sustainability and reliability assessments of power systems
Matteson, Schuyler - In: Energy 71 (2014) C, pp. 130-136
This paper reviews a published multi-criteria assessment of power systems and proposes new methods for normalization and ranking of criteria indicators. In previous work, the power systems are evaluated and ranked relative to the other systems considered in the assessment. This relative ranking...

Hybrid fuzzy Monte Carlo technique for reliability assessment in transmission power systems
Canizes, Bruno; Soares, João; Vale, Zita; Khodr, H.M. - In: Energy 45 (2012) 1, pp. 1007-1017
This paper proposes a new methodology to reduce the probability of occurring states that cause load curtailment, while minimizing the involved costs to achieve that reduction. The methodology is supported by a hybrid method based on Fuzzy Set and Monte Carlo Simulation to catch both randomness...
