the microgrid concept provides attractive solutions for reliability enhancement of power distribution systems. normally, microgrids contain renewable-energy-based distributed generation (dg) units, which their output power varies with different environmental conditions. in addition, load demand usually changes with factors such as hourly and seasonal customer activities. hence, these issues hav...

South Africa’s Government policy embraces the inclusion of distributed energy resources (DER), namely: renewable energy generation, embedded generation (EG) or distributed generation (DG) in the future national generation mix. The renewable energy program incorporates wind power, concentrated solar power (CSP), solar photo-voltaic (PV), landfill, and mini/micro hydro, and envisages a total of 1...

As an efficient alternative to fossil fuels, renewable energy sources have attained great attention due to their sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly characteristic. However, as a deficiency, renewable energy sources have low reliability because of their non-deterministic and stochastic generation pattern. The use of hybrid renewable generation systems along with the storag...

Smart Grids are result of utilizing novel technologies such as distributed energy resources, and communication technologies in power system to compensate some of its defects. Various power resources provide some benefits for operation domain however, power system operator should use a powerful methodology to manage them. Renewable resources and load add uncertainty to the problem. So, independe...

Nowadays power systems, especially the electrical distribution grids are accommodating different renewable technologies resulting into increasing complexities and instabilities. The dynamic growth towards to renewable energy is measured by also considering the impact of distributed generation on the grids. Distributed generation is the electricity production from small sources and is located cl...
