Multi agent systems (MAS) are popularly used in practice, however; a few studies have looked at MAS capabilities from the power engineering perspective. This paper presents the results of an investigation concerning the compatibility of MAS capabilities in different power engineering categories. Five MAS capabilities and seven power system categories are established. A framework for applying MA...

This paper presents a novel multi-port DC/DC converter which is suitable to be used as the interface of hybrid renewable energy systems. The converter contains three unidirectional power flow ports which two of them are input ports and are connected to two independent energy sources while the third one is the output port that feeds a standalone load. Furthermore, the proposed converter contains...

this paper presents a probabilistic optimal power flow (popf) algorithm considering different uncertainties in a smart grid. different uncertainties such as variation of nodal load, change in system configuration, measuring errors, forecasting errors, and etc. can be considered in the proposed algorithm. by increasing the penetration of the renewable energies in power systems, it is more essent...

the use of renewable energy in power generation and sudden changes in load and fault in power transmission lines  may cause a voltage drop in the system and challenge the reliability of the system. one way to compensate the changing nature of renewable energies in the short term without the need to disconnect loads or turn on other plants, is the use of renewable energy storage. the use of ener...

The information technology (IT) world has changed fundamentally and drastically from running software applications on a single computer with a single CPU to now running software as services in distributed and parallel computing environment. Power system operation has been also shifted from being solely based on off-line planning study to more and more real-time market-driven. Facing these chall...
