Power system operators and planners have progressively shown an interest in maximizing distribution automation technologies. The automated systems (ADS) provide the capability of efficient reliable control which require optimal operation strategy to status line switches also dispatch controllable devices. Therefore, this paper introduces robust technique based on Jellyfish Search Algorithm (JFS...

In coupled power distribution and transportation (CPT) system, a joint scheduling framework for mobile energy storage systems (MESSs) Volt/VAR control (VVC) ensures reliable grid operations while supporting electric vehicle loads at charging stations (EVCSs). However, conventional model-based optimization methods MESS VVC may yield suboptimal solutions greater computation times because of opera...

Fast-acting smart inverters that utilize preset operating conditions to determine real and reactive power injection/consumption can create voltage instabilities (over-voltage, oscillations more) in an electrical distribution network if set-points are not properly configured. In this work, linear flow equations droop-based Volt–Var Volt–Watt control curves used analytically derive a stability cr...

The need for flexibility and curtailable resources is crucial ensuring the healthy operation of future distribution networks (DN). In this work, we propose a network-state driven framework that system operators (DSOs) can utilize activating flexible alleviating network voltage thermal issues, while accounting current imbalances. This approach assumes availability dynamic state information uses ...

The increasing penetration of renewable and distributed energy resources in distribution networks calls for real-time voltage control. In this article, we investigate local Volt/VAR control with a general class functions, show that the power system dynamics nonincremental can be seen as algorithm solving well-defined optimization problem (reverse engineering). reverse engineering further reveal...

Abstract—In distribution networks, there are slow controlling devices and fast controlling devices for Volt-VAR regulation. These slow controlling devices, such as capacitors or voltage regulators, cannot be operated frequently and should be scheduled tens of minutes ahead (Hereafter named as slow control). Since of the uncertainties in predicting the load and distributed generation, the voltag...
