Securing the electric grid is one of the key components of preventing terrorist attacks in the United States and increasing the country’s resilience and recovery from such events. A secure electric grid is one that is protected from errors, contingencies or assaults on computer systems and...

This paper develops a bi-level optimization model for voluntary demand-side flexibility. The Distribution System Operator, in the Upper Level, maximizes welfare by investing in the network and setting the flexibility compensation. Consumers, in the Lower Level, can be prosumers and commercial...

To improve performance of voltage profile and current profile of power quality issues in renewable sources. This paper propose a multi-functional grid connected inverter and MFGCI is improve both voltage-based and current-based power quality issues. Using a shunt-series MFGCI (SSS-MFGCI). The...

This chapter discusses the important role of the electric transmission and distribution grid in meeting deep decarbonization goals. The U.S. Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project reports state that meeting the 2050 target of reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions 80% below 1990 levels will...

In recent Electrical era, Smart Grid (SG) is rapidly evolving technology. SG consists of smart meter to provide two way communications from consumer to distributor and from distributor to the consumer. Because of this communication, smart meter need to transmit large amount of information. In...

Distributed photo-voltaic (PV) generation is one of the pillars of energy transitions around the world, but its deployment in the distribution grid requires costly reinforcements and expansions. Prosumage - consisting of a household-level PV unit coupled with a battery storage system - has been...

Currently, most countries are looking to reduce their dependency on imported oil. The added advantage of reducing green house gas emissions and other pollutants has been strong reasons for the growing support for Electric Vehicles. As electric vehicles would be using the power grid to charge...
