The advent of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as renewables, storage, electric vehicles, and controllable loads, \rv{brings} a significantly disruptive transformational impact on the centralized power system. It is widely accepted that paradigm shift to decentralized system with bidirectional flow necessary integration DERs. virtual plant (VPP) emerges promising for managing DERs part...

Distributed energy resources aggregators (DERAs) are permitted to participate in regional wholesale markets many counties. At present, new market players such as China’s power transactions. However, studies related trading strategy have mostly focused on centralized wind and PV generation units. Few been conducted the decision-making strategies for DERAs market. This paper proposes an auxiliary...

This paper presents a novel stochastic planning framework for the integration of renewable distributed energy resources (DERs) into existing power systems without relying on new investments in transmission networks. The upper-level problem proposed model aims at minimizing total expected social cost supplying demand that includes getting from conventional generating units and DERs, congestion n...

This paper presents a multi-objective formulation for optimal siting and sizing of distributed generation (DG) resources in distribution systems in order to minimize the cost of power losses and energy not supplied. The implemented technique is based on a genetic algorithm (GA) and weight method that employed to obtain the best compromise between these costs. Simulation results on 33-bus distri...

Distributed electrical resources seem likely to play an increasingly important role in power systems. This paper presents a novel approach for optimising energy storage operation in electric distribution systems with renewable energy sources. Initial studies presented here indicate that evolutionary programming can determine near optimal solutions for simple power system problems with a single ...
