Research on Stochastic Optimal Operation Strategy of Active Distribution Network Considering Intermittent Energy

Active distribution networks characterized by high flexibility and controllability are an important development mode of future smart grids to be interconnected with large scale distributed generation sources including intermittent energies. However, the uncertainty of intermittent energy and the diversity of controllable devices make the optimal operation of distribution network a challenging i...

Impact of Electric Vehicles on Distribution Network Operation: Real World Case Studies

This paper studies the impact of electric vehicles (EVs) in real distribution networks. In particular, the impact of the penetration of EVs and its flexibility on the distribution network is studied. In addition, the benefits of EV flexibility in solving the rising challenge of increasing DER penetration are analysed. If managed properly, EVs will have a positive impact in supporting the networ...

A Bi-Level Optimization Approach for Optimal Operation of Distribution Networks with Retailers and Micro-grids

Distributed energy resources (DERs) including distributed generators (DGs) and controllable loads (CLs) are managed in the form of several microgrids (MGs) in active distributions networks (ADNs) to meet the demand locally. On the other hand, some loads of distribution networks (DNs) can be supplied by retailers which participate in wholesale energy markets. Therefore, there are several decisio...

Optimal operation of multiple microgrids under network reliability based on asexual reproduction algorithm

Today, the number of micro-distribution networks is increasing. Meanwhile, for various reasons that can be justified in the field of smart grids and electricity market, the optimal operation of these microgrids is of great importance. On the other hand, the existence of high-intensity accidents has been the reason for the creation of micro-networks in many countries, which shows the importance ...
