Using Coalitions of Wind Generators and Electric Vehicles

Using coalitions of wind generators and electric vehicles for effective energy market participation

Wind power is becoming a significant source of electricity in many countries. However, the inherent uncertainty of wind generators does not allow them to participate in the forward electricity markets. In this paper, we foster a tighter integration of wind power into electricity markets by using a multi-agent coalition formation approach to form virtual power plants of wind generators and elect...

Impact of Plug-in Electric Vehicles and Wind Generators on Harmonic Distortion of Electric Distribution Systems

Role of Electric Vehicles Parking Lots and Storage Systems on the Penetration Rate of Distributed Generation and Network Reconfiguration

Introduction of new technologies such as energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and distributed generation improved the characteristics of networks. On other hand, using these components in distribution systems improves system performances such as power losses. One of effective methods for improving system characteristics is distribution network reconfiguration. In this study, in addition t...

مکان یابی برقگیر در مزرعه بادی به کمک الگوریتم ژنتیک

Due to the ever-increasing use of Distributed Generations (DGs), and special attentions toward wind power plants in recent years, this research investigates the wind plants from the viewpoint of lightning protection. In comparison to all other type of generators connected to the electric power systems, wind turbine generators are placed in areas which are more likely to be stricken by lightning...

Improving the resilience of active distribution networks by optimal charging/discharging management of electric vehicles in parking lots

In the event of a severe incident with a high impact and low probability of occurrence, distribution networks may be separated from upstream networks and several feeders may be disconnected simultaneously within the distribution networks. In such circumstances, to maximize the resilience of the distribution networks and to prevent long-term global outages, they are reconfigured and islanded to ...
