Enabling deep penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) requires comprehensive monitoring and control of the distribution network. Increasing observability beyond the substation and extending it to the edge of the grid is required to achieve this goal. The growing availability of data from measurements from inverters, smart meters, EV chargers, smart thermostats and other devices provi...

Distributed energy resources (DERs), which are characterized by small-scale power generation technologies to provide an enhancement of the traditional power system, have been strongly encouraged to be integrated into the smart grid, and numerous trading strategies have recently been proposed to support the energy auction in the emerging smart grid marketing. However, few of them consider the se...

BACKGROUND Several theoretical perspectives suggest that emotion dysregulation is a predisposing risk factor for many psychiatric disorders. Yet despite a rapidly evolving literature, difficulties with emotion regulation (ER) are often measured inconsistently across studies, with little regard to whether different approaches capture the same construct. In this study, we evaluate the corresponde...

The integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in the distribution network has plenty of advantages if their allocation and Penetration Level (PL) are done appropriately. Hence, the challenge of finding the best allocation and PL of DERs in large distribution networks is an important but intricate problem. This paper proposes a novel methodology to simultaneously determine the optimal lo...

The proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs) in electric distribution networks brings both challenges and opportunities to the management of the electric grid. In the right locations these resources can provide value to the network by reducing congestion and losses and deferring investment in network upgrades. To unlock this value, however, more efficient economic signals need to be...

THE successful integration of renewable energy into the power grid is expected to reduce the dependence of the grid on the fossil fuels. The potential renewable energy resources include light, wind, vibration, heat, biofuel, biomass, and tides [1], [2]. It is envisaged that the use of renewable energy will reduce the use of traditional energy resources, such as nuclear, oil, and gas, in the fut...

The drive toward sustainable development will be facilitated by the transition to smart cities relying on the interface and co-optimization of the cyber and physical layers modeling the Electricity Cyber Physical System (CPS). Increasing penetration of intermittent and volatile renewable energy sources connected at the transmission (e.g. wind farms) or the distribution networks (e.g. roof top P...

In current power distribution systems, one of the most challenging operation tasks is to coordinate the networkwide distributed energy resources (DERs) to maintain the stability of voltage magnitude of the system. This voltage control task has been investigated actively under either distributed optimization-based or local feedback control-based characterizations. The former architecture require...
