The goal of the paper is twofold: a) following identification merits Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) by FERC 2222 for flexibility they bring to grid, we recognize water heaters and thermostats as mini-batteries introduce volumetric/swing options that Aggregator can sell shifting consumers' consumption while rewarding them; b) We propose address pricing complexity these volumetric - which ar...

the continuous spread of distributed energy resources (ders) such as combined heating and power (chp), diesel generators, boilers and renewable energy sources provide an effective solution to energy related problems to serve the power and heat demands with minimum cost. moreover, the ders may play a significant role for supplying power and heat in rural areas, where grid electricity is not avai...

Distributed mutual exclusion is a fundamental problem of distributed systems that coordinates the access to critical shared resources. It concerns with how the various distributed processes access to the shared resources in a mutually exclusive manner. This paper presents fully distributed improved token based mutual exclusion algorithm for distributed system. In this algorithm, a process which...

this paper presents a new hybrid particle swarm optimization with time varying acceleration coefficients (hpsotvac) and bacteria foraging algorithm (bfa) namely (psotvac/bfa) base fuzzy stochastic long term approach for determining optimum location and size of distributed energy resources (ders). the monte carlo simulation method is used to model the uncertainties associated with long-term load...

The consideration of distributed energy resources as non-wires alternatives for the elimination overloads and voltage problems poses new challenges their location management. Traditional methodologies approach problem from distribution system operator perspective, who tries to correct overload outside margins while minimizing other possible negative impacts in network. presented this paper also...
