Abstract Using hubs in distribution networks is an efficient approach. In this paper, a model for the location-allocation problem designed within framework of queuing network which services have several levels, and customers must go through these levels to complete service. The purpose locate appropriate number facilities among potential locations allocate customers. presented as multi-objectiv...

This paper presents a novel decentralized bi-level stochastic optimization approach based on the progressive hedging algorithm for multi-agent systems (MAS) in multi-energy microgrids (MEMGs) to enhance network flexibility. In proposed model, suppliers and consumers of three energy carrier power, heat, hydrogen are considered. system further consists storage such as plug-in electric vehicle agg...

The high renewable penetration will cause the power system operation mode (PSOM) to change frequently. At present, selection of PSOM mainly depends on experience relevant staff. However, selecting based is difficult comprehensively and elaborately analyze possible PSOMs within a dispatching cycle, which inevitably invites troubles planning dispatching. In this paper, data-driven analysis method...
