Smart Grids are result of utilizing novel technologies such as distributed energy resources, and communication technologies in power system to compensate some of its defects. Various power resources provide some benefits for operation domain however, power system operator should use a powerful methodology to manage them. Renewable resources and load add uncertainty to the problem. So, independe...

The efficiency of wireless sensor network largely depends on the routing protocol used. Routing is a major challenge for sensor networks as it presents a trade-off between responsiveness and efficiency. Hierarchical class of routing protocols introduces a structure on the network to achieve stability, energy efficiency and scalability. There are various protocols existing in this category. In t...

in this paper, an attempt has been made to introduce a new control strategy including plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (phev) and diesel engine generator to control the voltage and frequency of autonomous microgrids. the proposed control strategy has multiple advantages over the recent control methods in microgrids. the proposed method applies the primary and secondary frequency control strategy...
