Shunt active power filters (SAPFs) have been around for a long time. They improve the quality of a current drawn from the grid when feeding non-linear loads formed by old-fashioned power electronic converters such as uncontrolled and controlled recti...

This paper considers two dynamic load models that are widely used in industry to account for induction motor behavior: CMLD and CLOD. These models must be parametrized for the specific utility system in a general way so that they can be used in plann...

This paper addresses the optimal conductor selection (OCS) problem in radial distribution networks, aiming to minimize the total costs associated with conductor investment and energy losses while ensuring voltage regulation and power balance as well...

Energy storage systems (ESSs) and active power filters (APFs) are key power electronic technologies for FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Lines). Battery energy storage has a structure similar to a shunt active power filter, i.e., a storage element and...

In this article, a comprehensive review of electrical microgrids is presented, emphasizing their increasing importance in the context of renewable energy integration. Microgrids, capable of operating in both grid-connected and standalone modes, offer...

This paper proposes the integration and operation of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (ESS) in active distribution networks with high penetration of distributed generation based on renewable energy. The goal is to minimize total system cost...

To tackle the challenges arising from missing real-time measurement data and dynamic changes in network topology in optimizing and controlling distribution networks, this study proposes a data-driven collaborative optimization strategy tailored for m...

This article presents two novel mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulations in the complex variable domain to address the optimal phase-balancing problem in asymmetric three-phase distribution networks. The first employs a matrix-based l...

This paper presents a detailed fifth-order mathematical model of a three-phase induction motor, used in the WECC (Western Electricity Coordinating Council) composite load model. The main objective is to analyze the dynamic behavior of three-phase ind...

In non-synchronous machine sources (N-SMSs), power sources are connected to the grid through power electronic devices, which typically exhibit a voltage-controlled current source characteristic during faults. Due to the current-limiting feature of in...
