The problem of the optimal placement and sizing of photovoltaic power plants in electrical power systems from high- to medium-voltage levels is addressed in this research from the point of view of the exact mathematical ...

Conventional protection schemes have proven insufficient for the protection of Active Distribution Networks (ADN). Novel protection schemes with an adaptive approach should be developed to guarantee the protection of ADN ...

This paper addresses the problem of the locating and sizing of distributed generators (DGs) in direct current (DC) grids and proposes a hybrid methodology based on a parallel version of the Population-Based Incremental ...

Time-delay is inherent to communications schemes in power systems, and in a closed loop strategy the presence of latencies increases inter-area oscillations and security problems in tie-lines. Recently, Wide Area Measurement ...

Conventional protection schemes have proven insufficient for the protection of Active Distribution Networks (ADN). Novel protection schemes with an adaptive approach should be developed to guarantee the protection of ADN ...

This paper addresses the voltage stability margin calculation in medium-voltage distribution networks in the context of exact mathematical modeling. This margin calculation is performed with a second-order cone (SOCP) ...

Transportation electrification has demonstrated a significant position on power utilities and logistic companies, in terms of assets operation and management. Under this context, this paper presents the problem of seeking ...

In this paper, the control problem of microgrids (MGs)operating in islanded mode is approached from a passivity-based control perspective. A control scheme is proposed that, relying only on local measurements for the power ...

This study analyzes the numerical convergence and processing time required by several classical and new solution methods proposed in the literature to solve the power-flow problem (PF) in direct-current (DC) networks ...

This brief discusses the classical problem of power flow analysis in alternating current (ac) distribution networks through Taylor series expansion. The main advantage of this approach is that it can work with radial and ...
