Clean and sustainable renewable energy technology is going to take responsibility of energy supply in electrical power systems. Using renewable sources improve the environment and reduce dependence on oil and other fossil fuels. In distribution power system, utilizing of wind and solar DGs comprises some advantages; consist of loss and emission reduction, and also improvement of voltage profile...

In recent years, the renewable energy Distributed Generation (DG) sources like Photovoltaic, Wind farms gain more importance in the distribution network due to its fuel free, emission less operation and their system loss reduction capability, when they are placed in an optimal place/location with an optimal size. This paper presents the application of Self-Adaptive Differential Evolution Algori...

This paper has developed a novel multiobjective function for optimal sizing and sitting ofDistributed Generation (DG) units and capacitor banks in simultaneous mode to improve reliabilityand reduce energy losses. The proposed function consists of four objectives: Cost of Energy NotSupplied (CENS), System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), costs of energy loss andinvestment. A novel st...

With the rapid development of wind turbine, photovoltaic and battery technologies, renewable energy resources such as wind and solar become the most common distributed generations (DG) that are being integrated into microgrids. One key impediment is to determine the sizes and placements of DGs within which the microgrid can achieve its maximum potential benefits. The objective of the paper is t...

in this paper, optimal design of hybrid solar-wind- diesel energy system with battery storage for reliable load in arsoon village in ardabil is presented. the village has 35 households that mean daily energy consumption is estimated 63.4 kwh. in this design optimization is implemented, considering loss of power supply probability (lpsp) index for reliable load providing, with minimum total cons...

This thesis first proposes a hybrid ac/dc micro-grid and its coordination control for reducing the processes of multiple conversions in an individual ac or dc grid. Renewable energy based distributed generators (DGs) play a dominant role in electricity production, with the increase in the global warming. Distributed generation based on wind, solar energy, biomass, mini-hydro along with use of f...

Using distributed generations (DGs) with optimal scheduling and optimal distribution feeder reconfiguration (DFR) are two aspects that can improve efficiency as well as technical and economic features of microgrids (MGs). This work presents a stochastic copula scenario-based framework to jointly carry out optimal scheduling of DGs and DFR. This framework takes into account non-dispatchable and ...

Economic evaluation of 12 MW grid-connected wind farms and PV power plants in two regions in Northern Cyprus for electricity generation was investigated. The wind speed, sunshine duration, and solar global radiation characteristics were analyzed using monthly data collected over 17 years (2000-2016) for Girne and nine years (2008-2016) for Lefkoşa, which were measured at various heights. The re...
