Resilience and Economics of Microgrids with PV, Battery Storage, and Networked Diesel Generators
Current designs and assessments of microgrids have ignored component reliability, leading to significant errors in predicting a microgrid's performance while islanded. Existing life cycle cost studies on hybrid microgrids—which combine photovoltaics (PV), battery storage and net...

Performance Evaluation of Peer-to-Peer Distributed Microgrids Coordination for Voltage Regulation
This paper presents the performance evaluation of a peer-to-peer microgrids coordination algorithm for sub-transmission systems. As distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution system start to show negative impact to the bulk power system, a paradigm shift is needed for tra...
