Countries around the world are introducing requirements to significantly increase their proportion of energy from renewable sources, such as wind. Poor siting or poor decision process will produce considerable local opposition delaying implementation and costing both proponents and the concerned...

Compared with traditional fossil fuel energy, wind power is becoming more and more popular relies on its environment protected characteristic. In China, the wind power industry has undergone a rapid development based on the rapid development of wind power technology and the support from Chinese...

This paper proposes a methodology for reconfiguration of Electrical Distribution Systems (EDS) to maximize the system voltage stability. The proposed approach is based on the metaheuristic and bioinspired optimization technique called Artificial Immune System (AIS) and stability indexes. The...

Wind farms interconnected to power system bring new challenges to power system economic operation. It is imperative to study how to solve optimal power flow (OPF) formulation with wind farms. In this paper, a multi-period optimal power flow (DOPF) is studied based on traditional OPF algorithm....

This paper presents new analytical expressions to efficiently capture the optimal power factor of each Distributed Generation (DG) unit for reducing energy losses and enhancing voltage stability over a given planning horizon. These expressions are based on the derivation of a multi-objective...

Electricity generation from wind has grown sharply and its growth potential is still significant. However, the decentralized nature of the wind opposes the historically centralized structure of national networks. Unlike conventional sources, wind does not provide reactive power, which is...

A resilient strategy for optimal demand response control based on the management of highly-distributed electric loads is presented to meet transmission-level control aimed at maintaining voltage stability. The proposed load control scheme balances device- and grid-level objectives...

This paper discusses the integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage (BES) units for reducing energy loss and enhancing voltage stability. Here, each nondispatchable PV unit is converted into a dispatchable source with a combination of PV and BES units. New multiobjective...

Distributed Generations (DGs) can be an efficient solution to today’s power system environmental and economical challenges. Installing DGs influences power system stability and losses. In this paper, a method is presented for locating and sizing of DGs to enhance voltage stability and to...
