Although microgrids have been researched for over a decade and recognized for their multitude of benefits to improve power reliability, security, sustainability, and decrease power costs for the consumer, they have still not reached rapid commercial growth. The main aim of this research is to...

In conventional generation systems, the possibility of system restoration and reducing power swings among different generation units is high, as an adequate reserve can be supplied from neighboring generation units to restore the operation. In contrast, the situation is different in the case of...

The exploitation of renewable energy resources poses great challenges regarding the manner in which they can be integrated into the modern electrical distribution infrastructure.

The high penetration of distributed generators, most of them based on renewable energy sources, is modifying the traditional structure of the electric distribution grid. If the power of distributed generators is high enough to feed the loads of a certain area, this area could be disconnected...

Microgrids are a suitable, reliable and clean solution to integrate distributed generation into the mains grid. Microgrids can present both AC and DC distribution lines. The type of distribution conditions the performance of distribution line and implies different features, advantages and...
