 Abstract— With the increasing deployment of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) in the distribution system, DERs presents many challenges for smooth and stable operation of the grid. For the effective management of DERs extensive communication between different components of DER and distribution system is required. In an effort to standardize the communication methods and modeling of logical ...

microgrids are small-scale, low voltage (lv) power networks which employ renewable distribution energy resources (ders) with power electronic interfaces (peis). microgrids as single controlled units and active distribution networks require flexible control systems to ensure reliable and secure operation in different modes. these various operations of microgrid cause variations in voltage and fr...

Technology advancements in solar photovoltaics (PV) and battery storage have driven sharp increases in their employment by utilities, consumers, and third parties. These Distributed Energy Resources (DER) are often connected to the grid at the distribution level, and distribution operational requirements are being greatly impacted by their presence. Despite the potential impact of DERs on the d...

Several benefits can be gained from implementation of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) in distributed systems. This paper proposes the application of Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm to optimally determination the location and size of multiple DERs considering a multi-objective benchmark. Several objectives including loss minimization, reduction in power purchased from the network and upgrade...

The availability of sufficient and economic online capacity to support the network while encountering disturbances and failures leading to supply and demand imbalance has a crucial role in today distribution networks with high share of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), especially Renewable Energy Resources (RESs). This paper proposes a two-stage decision making framework for the Distribution...

Presence of distributed energy resources (DERs) in the case of proper planning can help to improve the technical and economic parameters of the system in distribution networks. In recent years, several algorithms and indices for optimal distributed generation planning with multiple objectives have been presented. In this paper, optimal placement and sizing of distributed generation sources with...

With increasing availability of communication and control infrastructure at the distribution systems, it is expected that the distributed energy resources (DERs) will take an active part in future power systems operations. One of the main challenges associated with integration of DERs in grid planning and control is in estimating the available flexibility in a collection of (heterogeneous) DERs...

India’s national missions to advance demand-side management and DERs such as, the Enhanced Energy Efficiency, Smart Grid, Wind and Solar Energy, Electric Mobility, etc., provide a pathway for sustainable developments. With these national missions, India is relying on large targets of 175 GW of renewable energy generation by 2022, which comprises of 100 GW Solar, 60 GW Wind, 10 GW Biomass, and 5...

Traditionally, conventional generation unit was used to provide ancillary services e.g. reactive power support, and spinning reserve. Nonetheless, with the emergence of highly penetrated distributed energy resources (DERs) systems and considering how beneficial they can be; it appears reasonable to use them as reactive power providers. Therefore, this paper introduces a new procedure for DERs t...
