Co-Optimization Generation and Distribution Planning in Microgrids
Hossein Lotfi, Amin Khodaei
This paper proposes a co-optimization generation and distribution planning model in microgrids in which simultaneous investment in generation, i.e., distributed generation (DG) and…
Coordinated AC/DC Microgrid Optimal Scheduling
Abdulaziz Alanazi, Hossein Lotfi, Amin Khodaei
This paper proposes a coordinated optimal scheduling model for hybrid AC/DC microgrids. The objective of the proposed model is to minimize the total microgrid operation cost when c…
Optimal Design of Hybrid AC/DC Microgrids
Hossein Lotfi, Amin Khodaei, Shay Bahramirad +1
DC loads (such as computers, data centres, electric vehicle chargers, and LED lamps) and dc distributed energy resources (such as fuel cells, solar photovoltaics, and energy storag…
Levelized Cost of Energy Calculation for Energy Storage Systems
Hossein Lotfi, Alireza Majzoobi, Amin Khodaei +2
The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) presents the energy-normalized cost of a generation asset by considering all associated costs (investment and operation) and total generated ene…
