Microgrids are autonomous low-voltage power distribution systems that contain multiple distributed energy resources (DERs) and smart loads that can provide power system operation flexibility. To effectively control and coordinate multiple DERs and loads of microgrids, this paper proposes a distributed intelligent management system that employs a multi-agent-based control system so that delicate...

This paper formulates a time-varying social-welfare maximization problem for distribution grids with distributed energy resources (DERs) and develops online distributed algorithms to identify (and track) its solutions. In the considered setting, network operator and DER-owners pursue given operational and economic objectives, while concurrently ensuring that voltages are within prescribed limit...

Micro-grid (MG) is a grid formed by renewable sources. MG is a small scale network of low voltage also the renewable sources are distributed energy resources (DER). A MG gives clean energy. MG can have two operational modes, the islanded mode and grid connected mode. This paper reviews the optimal energy management for a MG under various constraints. The authors aims to optimize fuel cost, mana...

This paper provides an assessment of candidate voltage/reactive power control devices for distribution systems. The recent trend toward Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), and Distributed Generation (DG), in particular, is often based on the rationale to support voltage and compensate for reactive power closer to the end users. This situation calls for a systematic approach to assessing altern...

Distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution networks have great potential for providing capacity reserves to the transmission systems. In this context, this paper focuses on optimizing the aggregated flexibility of DERs in power distribution networks, involving both network-wide voltage constraints, and individual device operating constraints. The intended task is first formulated as a ...

objective: to investigate relationship between addiction potentiality and different dimensions of emotional self-regulation. materials and methods: this descriptive and correlational study included students of sistan and baluchistan university, sistan and baluchestan, iran. participants were selected by random sampling method. we applied addiction potential scale (aps) and difficult in emotion ...

Power quality (PQ) disturbances are becoming an important issue in smart grids (SGs) due to the significant economic consequences that they can generate on sensible loads. However, SGs include several distributed energy resources (DERs) that can be interconnected to the grid with static converters, which lead to a reduction of the PQ levels. Among DERs, wind turbines and photovoltaic systems ar...

A micro-grid is an energy community having various Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) such as diesel engines, micro turbines, solar power, wind power, fuel cells and energy storage devices. The multi-agent architecture offers a hierarchical structure is very suitable for managing multi-individual and heterogeneous DERs in the micro-grid environment. This paper proposes a multi-agent architectu...

Given recent attention to emotion regulation as a potentially unifying function of diverse symptom presentations, there is a need for comprehensive measures that adequately assess difficulties in emotion regulation among adults. This paper (a) proposes an integrative conceptualization of emotion regulation as involving not just the modulation of emotional arousal, but also the awareness, unders...

Microgrids (MGs) usually consist of several types of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) like renewable and conventional generation units, energy storages and responsive loads. In order to operate the MG with minimum cost and maximum reliably, an integrated scheduling model of DERs should be implemented. In this paper, an operational planning model of a MG which considers Demand Response (DR) a...
