A SOCP-based ACOPF for Operational Scheduling of Three-phase Unbalanced Distribution Systems and Coordination of PV Smart Inverters
Mingyue He, Zahra Soltani, Mohammad Ghaljehei +6
The proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs) im-poses new challenges to distribution system operation, e.g., power quality issues. To overcome these challenges and enha…
Optimal Placement of PV Smart Inverters with Volt-VAr Control in Electric Distribution Systems
Mengxi Chen, Shanshan Ma, Zahra Soltani +3
The high R/X ratio of typical distribution systems makes the system voltage vulnerable to the active power injection from distributed energy resources (DERs). Moreover, the intermi…
