Energy Utilization and Renewable Energy Sources in Nigeria

Using Dynamic Thermal Rating and Energy Storage Systems Technologies Simultaneously for Optimal Integration and Utilization of Renewable Energy Sources

Nowadays, optimal integration and utilization of renewable energy sources (RES) are of the most challenging issues in power systems. The wind and solar generation units' maximum production may or may not occur at peak consumption times resulting in non-optimal utilization of these resources. As a solution to this problem, energy storage systems (ESS) are embedded in networks. However, the power...

Energy Management in Microgrids Containing Electric Vehicles and Renewable ‎Energy Sources Considering Demand Response

Microgrid and smart electrical grids are among the new concepts in power systems that support new technologies within themselves. Electric cars are some advanced technologies that their optimized use can increase grid efficiency. The modern electric cars sometimes, through the necessary infrastructure and proper management, can serve as an energy source to supply grid loads. This study was cond...

System Stability-Constrainted Optimal Protection Coordination in the Microgrid Including Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Storage

In this paper, the system stability-constrianted optimal protection coordination (SSCOPC) as stochastic problem in the microgrid with grid-connected and islanded operation modes, including renewable energy sources (RESs) and energy storage systems (ESSs), is presented. This problem to optimal regulation of the dual setting overcurrent relays (DSORs) and selecting the reactance size of fault cur...
