Optimal droop control placement in distribution network via an exact OPF relaxation method
H. Sekhavatmanesh, G. Ferrari-Trecate, S. Mastellone
In the last decade, the integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in distribution networks has been constantly increasing due to their many technical, economical, and environme…
Optimal Adaptive Droop Design via a Modified Relaxation of the OPF
H. Sekhavatmanesh, G. Ferrari-Trecate, S. Mastellone
The ever increasing penetration of Renewable Energy Resources (RESs) in power distribution networks has brought, among others, the challenge of maintaining the grid voltages within…
A convex model for induction motor starting transients imbedded in an OPF-based optimization problem
Hossein Sekhavatmanesh, Justino Rodrigues, Carlos Lucas Moreira +2
Large horsepower induction motors play a critical role in the operation of industrial facilities. In this respect, the distribution network operators dedicate a high priority to th…
Optimal Load Restoration in Active Distribution Networks Complying with Starting Transients of Induction Motors
H. Sekhavatmanesh, J. Rodrigues, C. L. Moreira +2
Large horsepower induction motors play a critical role as industrial drives in production facilities. The operational safety of distribution networks during the starting transients…
A Novel Decomposition Solution Approach for the Restoration Problem in Distribution Networks
Hossein Sekhavatmanesh, Rachid Cherkaoui
The distribution network restoration problem is by nature a mixed integer and non-linear optimization problem due to the switching decisions and Optimal Power Flow (OPF) constraint…
A Multi-Step Reconfiguration Model for Active Distribution Network Restoration Integrating DG Start-Up Sequences
Hossein Sekhavatmanesh, Rachid Cherkaoui
The ever-increasing penetration of Distributed Generators (DGs) in distribution networks suggests to enable their potentials in better fulfilling the restoration objective. The obj…
