The integration of energy efficiency programs and renewable resources in energy communities (EC) ... more The integration of energy efficiency programs and renewable resources in energy communities (EC) incorporating smart microgrids might be the future development of sustainable cities. Cooperation among EC with high penetration of renewable energy resources will support energy procurement. Mutual energy efficiency programs in EC associated with deploying renewable resources can guarantee sustainable development significantly. This paper proposes a new sustainability index (SI) influenced by the loss of load reduction while increasing the penetration of renewable energies. A multi‐objective optimization method is used to determine the optimal size and location of renewable resources incorporating energy efficiency programs. The objective functions, that is, the total cost and SI, are based upon social, economic, environmental, and technical (SEET) considerations. Since the outputs of renewable energies are uncertain, it may increase the loss of load probability. Therefore, this paper i...

Accordingly, the maintenance strategy in distribution systems is one of the most important decision-making activities. One of the most important evaluations for deciding the adequate performance of power distribution system is the identification of the critical components. On the other hand, the budget for maintenance of components is limited, so the maintenance should only be performed on critical components. Identifying the critical components is used to achieve the objective of minimising the cost for maintenance actions. This paper presents a new weighted importance (WI) reliability index model and proposes an appropriate method in order to prioritise the elements of distribution system for reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) at two different levels. At the first level, the feeders of a sample distribution substation are prioritised for the RCM actions. The second level is more detailed than the first level. At the second level, the components of a sample feeder are prioritised for the RCM actions. The reliability of system can be increased to as much as required level while minimal maintenance to be done by the maintenance prioritisation of the system components and performing the maintenance actions on the critical components. Appropriate maintenance decision-making for the critical components of distribution system can lead to the improvement in the reliability of distribution system.

To assess the effectiveness of EH approach and the role of storages in the coordinated plans of G&ES, this paper proposes a comprehensive EH-based planning model for co-expansion of G&ES supply chains with respect to the role of gas storage systems (GSSs). As a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problem, the model is applied to a real large-scale case study, i.e. the Iranian G&ES and is solved via the GAMS package. The simulation results reveal that incorporation of the interactions existing between G&ES into their planning problems in the framework of an EH can reach more flexible, realistic and optimal expansion plans compared with their traditional integrated expansion planning methods. Furthermore, findings show that the involvement capacities of GSSs provides the opportunity of optimal matching of demand with supply by increasing the productivity of the gas pipelines, allowing technically and economically sensible long-term management of gas supply systems.

Household consumers can trade energy via peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading to reduce their costs. In other words, each of them can participate in the smart grid as a prosumer that can both produce and consume energy. On the other hand, more participation of smart homes in the demand-side management (DSM) program could help electricity decentralization. Also, energy storage systems (ESSs) and distributed energy resources (DERs) can lead to further decentralization of a smart microgrid. The production of renewable energy resources, such as photovoltaic (PV) systems, is associated with uncertainty. ESSs could be used as a reserve for PV systems. This paper presents a new risk-based model for P2P energy management of smart homes that consists of a PV system and EES and participates in the DSM program. The risk associated with the uncertainties of PVs' production and market prices has been modeled by conditional value-at-risk (CVaR). The mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) model of the problem has been solved by COUENNE in GAMS software. Numerical results show that the expected cost of all resources and the related risk is reduced by the proposed decision-making model for smart homes.

However, under the smart environment, the amount of GHGs can be declined by handling the consumers' demand. In this regard, this paper presents a two-stage framework concentrating on demand side management including energy efficiency programs and demand response programs as significant aspects of smart power system to handle system expenditures as well as pollutants. Therefore, in the first stage, investment rate on energy efficiency is specified over the midterm horizon time, and in the second one, a formulation of cost-andemission-based generation scheduling in the presence of demand side management programs has been performed. Finally, a novel index the so-called emission mitigation index is nominated to investigate the impacts of demand side management on evaluation of GHGs emissions' level. The IEEE 10 unit standard test system is conducted to evaluate the capability of demand side management in reduction of GHGs emissions and financial burden. Results indicate that by efficient utilization of demand side management programs, significant improvement is obtained.

In such a strategic methodology, CHA may improve the quality of trial solutions that speed up the convergence of the main algorithm. By introducing a “territory concept” for each derived local optimum, this paper proposes an approach, forcing CHA sub-procedures to explore new areas in the problem sub-space. Such modification is enforced to Villasana-Garver-Salon (VGS) algorithm, as a well-known kind of CHA, to improve its performance. The improved VGS is called territory-based VGS (TBVGS). In order to evaluate the performance of TBVGS, it is implemented on a meta-heuristic algorithm in which the performance of the obtained meta-heuristic algorithm is examined with different standard test systems as well as practical cases. Simulation studies and results analysis show a promising improvement ca...

SNP is an integration of Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP) and optimal line routing problems. In fact, SNP considers the impacts of lines routing on the network power ow. Therefore, it can exploit such impacts to attain a signi cant techno-economic solution. In this work, a preprocessing stage is employed to reduce the computational e ort demanded by line routing. Furthermore, a meta-heuristic algorithm is engaged to solve such a complicated problem. Applying these modi cations made it possible to solve SNP for large-scale systems with high-resolution rasterized maps. The proposed method is applied to a 3-bus system, an 18-bus test system as well as the original and modi ed versions of the IRAN southeast high-voltage transmission network to demonstrate the capability of the proposed methodology.

In this regard, the flexible partitioning distribution system into supply-sufficient microgrids can be considered an interesting subject. This paper introduces a novel technique for partitioning a smart distribution system into supply-sufficient microgrids. In the presented model, the impact of demand response programs and energy storage has been considered in the proposed framework. Furthermore, besides the electricity aspects, the effects of gas network infrastructure on flexible portioning are also investigated to improve system resiliency facing natural disasters. The proposed model aims to maximize served load, which has been structured as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem. The IEEE 34 bus standard test system is used to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed structure. The results of the study show that the proposed structure can increase the served load and the supplysufficiently of the smart grid power system.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have been the centre of attention in recent years because they can be used to form a bidirectional connection to the power grid. In this scheme an aggregation of electric vehicles can be used to provide ancillary services for a power grid which is known as Vehicle to Grid (V2G) concept. Aggregation of EVs in a parking lot can be considered as a distributed generation (DG) unit. During offpeak hours, power grid provides electrical energy for charging the EVs in a parking lot while during peak hours some part of their stored energy should be given back to the grid. In this paper, it is considered that the parking lot belongs to a distribution company. Such parking lots is considered as a distributed generation (DG) unit which may offer some advantages like emission reduction, power quality improvement, reliability enhancement and d...
