چکیده
A vision shAred by mAny experts is thAt future communities (residential and commercial developments, university and industrial campuses, military installations, and so on) will be self-sufficient with respect to energy production and will adopt microgrids. With power generation capacities of 10–50 mW, microgrids are usually intended for the local production of power with islanding capabilities and have capacity available for sale back to macrogrids. A typical microgrid portfolio includes photovoltaic (pv) and wind resources, gas-fired generation, demand-response capabilities, electrical and thermal storage, combined heat and power (chp), and connectivity to the grid. Advanced technologies such as fuel cells may also be included. this article describes the problems encountered in analyzing prospective microgrid economics and environmental and reliability performance and presents some results from the software tools developed for these tasks.

Canons and Controversies: The Critical Gaze on Jhumpa Lahiri’s Fiction
The South Asian American diasporic writer, Jhumpa Lahiri has been widely acclaimed by the first-world intellectuals for her truthful representations of diasporic experience. In recent years, however, some scholars have drawn upon Gayatri Spivak’s notion of “Native Informant” to interrogate the controversial canonization of Lahiri in the West, and point instead to her disavowed participation in ...
متن کاملFault Detection and Location in DC Microgrids by Recurrent Neural Networks and Decision Tree Classifier
Microgrids have played an important role in distribution networks during recent years. DC microgrids are very popular among researchers because of their benefits. Protection is one of the significant challenges in the way of microgrids progress. As a result, in this paper, a fault detection and location scheme for DC microgrids is proposed. Due to advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and s...
متن کاملLocal versus Global Profit Maximization: The Case of Discrete Concave Production Functions
In this paper we show that for discrete concave functions, a local maximum need not be a global maximum. We also provide examples of discrete concave functions where this coincidence holds. As a direct consequence of this, we can establish the equivalence of local and global profit maximizers for an equivalent well-behaved production function that is generated by a (not necessarily discrete con...
متن کاملOptimal 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 ...
متن کاملAn adaptive method for accurate sharing of harmonic and unbalanced loads in islanded microgrids
In this paper, a method is proposed for accurate sharing of harmonic and unbalanced loads in islanded microgrids. The proposed method can adaptively improve the load sharing among distributed generation (DG) units based on the circulating currents rules and harmonic and unbalanced powers provided by each DG. Compared with previous methods, the proposed method does not require a dedicated centra...
