The penetration of renewable energy sources into power systems has been increasing to mitigate the concerns for the environment, global warming, and rising fuel prices. However, the variability and uncertainty of power output from renewable energy sources raise challenging issues for power...

Power systems networks are traditionally structured and engineered to effectively accommodate the effects of uncertainty and variability as regards energy demand and availability of resources. In order to transform the present carbon-intensive electricity generation system to one driven largely...

High penetration of solar PV systems will cause grid instability and requires storage and micro-grid. Pyramid solar micro-grid which consists of many solar home systems with storage was thus proposed. The reliability of solar micro-grid is an important issue. In the present study, we develop an...

The renewable energy based smart grid present a stable power supply system with low carbon emissions. The adaptability of work in smart grid-related approaches allows microgrids to load reliably. This research proposes a self-healing method with a large smart grid in different purpose. The...

Preserving the frequency stability of new important blocks in smart grids such as interconnected microgrids, is a serious challenge. Inertia can act as a significant stability/performance index for frequency regulation in the power grids. Renewable energy sources have low inertia and mostly need...

High performance and cost-effective ferry boats are of capital interest for customers and marine industry companies. On the other hand, the traditional ferry boats, operated by diesel generators, spatter the atmosphere with CO2 emissions and detrimental particles. Hence, electric propulsion in...

This paper proposes a novel two-stage Microgrid (MG) scheduling methodology to decide optimal location and size of MG and outputs of dispatchable and intermittent distributed generators (DGs). In the first stage, a system stability index (SSI) representing the performance of the distribution...

In this article, a comparative analysis is made between three statistical methods (Taguchi's Orthogonal Array Testing method, Monte Carlo and Two-Point method) by integrating the uncertainty of primary sources of renewable generation in systems of electric power. The modeling of the Institute of...

This paper aims to study the effect of augmented Distributed Generation (DG) penetration in the basic indices of the distribution network (voltage, angle, power flow, thermal fatigue of cables). For this purpose, a realistic expansion of an existing distribution grid is considered, after looking...
