As the interconnection of distributed generation (DG) and energy storage system (ESS), the operation of DG/ESS should be optimized and coordinated. The intermittence of renewable energy and the error of the load forecasting, which is usually taken as the raw data of the global optimization algorithm, cause difference between the actual and the optimal operating status of the network. Feeder Con...

An identity-based encryption (IBE) scheme can greatly reduce the complexity of sending encrypted messages over the Internet. However, an IBE scheme necessarily requires a private-key generator (PKG), which can create private keys for clients, and so can passively eavesdrop on all encrypted communications. Although a distributed PKG has been suggested as a way to mitigate this problem for Boneh ...

Coordinated rhythmic movements are ubiquitous in animal behavior. In many organisms, chains of neural oscillators underlie the generation of these rhythms. In C. elegans, locomotor wave generation has been poorly understood; in particular, it is unclear where in the circuit rhythms are generated, and whether there exists more than one such generator. We used optogenetic and ablation experiments...

In many countries the power systems are going to move toward creating a competitive structure for selling and buying electrical energy. These changes and the numerous advantages of the distributed generation units (DGs) in term of their technology enhancement and economical considerations have created more incentives to use these kinds of generators than before. Therefore, it is necessary to st...

The distribution system is prone to failures and disturbances due to weather related issues and human errors. The distributed generation is expected to play a key role in the power system. The reliability of the power supply can be improved in the presence of distributed generation (DG). In this paper, general assessment of the impact of distributed generation (DG) on the distribution system re...

The power output variability of photovoltaic systems can affect local electrical grids in locations with high renewable energy penetrations or weak distribution or transmission systems. In those rare cases, quick controllable generators (e.g., energy storage systems) or loads can counteract the destabilizing effects by compensating for the power fluctuations. Previously, control algorithms for ...
