In this paper, an attempt has been made to introduce a new control strategy including Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and Diesel engine generator to control the voltage and frequency of autonomous microgrids. The proposed control strategy has multiple advantages over the recent control methods in microgrids. The proposed method applies the primary and secondary frequency control strategy...

Local energy self-sufficiency, in which the supply and demand of electricity are controlled such that generated power from distributed resources (DERs) is consumed locally based on a supply-and-demand forecast, mitigates burden system contributes to efficient use DERs smart cities. However, widely available metres cannot measure behind-the-metre pure generation prosumers. Pure forecasts without...

This paper presents an online two-stage Q-learning based multi-agent (MA) controller for load frequency control (LFC) in an interconnected multi-area multi-source power system integrated with distributed energy resources (DERs). The proposed control strategy consists of two stages. The first stage is employed a PID controller which its parameters are designed using sine cosine optimization (SCO...

Electric distribution systems are going through a major upgrade with increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and impacting transmission system operational analysis. Traditionally, the system’s voltage stability margin is computed by performing continuation power flow (CPF) In transmission-CPF, loads in aggregated at transmission-distribution (T&D) interface buses, electric...

The wide spread of distributed energy resources (DERs) enabled the transformation passive consumer to an active prosumer. One promising approaches for optimal management DERs and maximizing benefits community prosumers is trading (CET). CET gives flexibility freedom trade electricity within neighborhood maximize their economic besides local consumption renewable sources generation. Despite indi...

The needs of human communities for electrical energy is increasing every day, and as a result, the price fossil fuels steadily increasing. Considering trend advances in renewable technologies support governments policymakers to make more use these clean inexpensive resources. Limitations such low capacity, uncertainty output power stability issues have made it costly difficult Distributed Energ...

Given the historically static nature of low-voltage networks, distribution network companies do not possess tools for dealing with an increasingly variable demand due to high penetration distributed energy resources (DERs). Within this context, paper proposes a probabilistic framework tariff design that minimises impact DER on performance, stabilises revenue company, and improves equity cost al...

Abstract: With the growing influence of fog and haze (F-H) weather and the rapid development of distributed energy resources (DERs) and smart grids, the concept of the virtual power plant (VPP) employed in this study would help to solve the dispatch problem caused by multiple DERs connected to the power grid. The effects of F-H weather on photovoltaic output forecast, load forecast and power sy...

This work presents a model-based networked control structure with an adaptive communication policy for managing Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) over a shared, resource-constrained communication network. The central objective is to find a state-dependent strategy for establishing and terminating communication between the supervisor and the DERs in a way that minimizes network resource utiliz...

The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; Gratz and Roemer, Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment 26:41–54, 2004) is a popular multidimensional self-report measure of emotion regulation. The present study sought to examine the latent factor structure of the DERS. An examination of latent factor intercorrelations and a higher-order confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) sugg...
