The rapid development of distributed renewable energy has made energy storage essential for efficient operation. However, energy storage is challenging for prosumers due to high investment costs and long payback periods. The second use of batteries has been evaluated as an alternative energy storage after the first service in electric vehicles with...

Distributed generation (DG) has a key role in enlarging the implementation of renewable energy resources (RES). However, the intermittent and uncontrollable nature of RES can lead to several severe power quality‐related issues. Therefore, many efforts have been made to overcome these issues by optimizing DG sizes and locations. Hence, optimal DG al...

Hybrid power systems (HPS) based on photovoltaic (PV), diesel generators (DG), and energy storage systems (ESS) are widely used solutions for the energy supply of off-grid or isolated areas. The main hybridizing chal- lenges are reliability, investment and operating costs, and carbon emissions problems. Since HPS are usually sized to provide energy...

Electric vehicles (EVs) improve the power grid by increasing intermittent renewable energy consumption and providing financial support to EV users via vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration. While estimating these advantages, a number of studies have neglected to consider the effect of driving and charging behavior patterns on their results. This articl...

The growing population and technological developments have led to irregular houses and especially industrial facilities in developing cities. Furthermore, due to social and economic factors and the increasing massive migrations, undeveloped rural projects make irregular settlements worse. Thus, the expensiveness caused by the deterioration of the s...

Today, increasing electric vehicle (EV) popularity thanks to the incentives leads to grow the number of EV charging stations (EVCS). Meeting the increasing demand using fossil fuels puts countries' carbon emission targets into trouble. Therefore, hybrid power systems (HPS) can reduce the grid dependency on energy production using enhancing distribu...

Substantial penetration levels of intermittent and fluctuated renewable energy resources like PV can cause overcapacity and other operational challenges in the grid. Therefore, energy market actors are directed to the feed-in limitations and restrict the installed capacity. Likewise, the declining incentives make energy storage central to increasin...

The recent advances in the modern power grids, such as growing energy demand and penetration of higher amounts of distributed energy generators like renewable energy resources, caused additional grid integration challenges for the distributed energy system operators. Besides, deep electrification impacts triggered by a growing share of electric veh...

Growing energy demand in the distributed energy system (DES) besides new charging loads of electric vehicles (EVs) make DES infrastructure unavailable earlier than normal projections. DES lines need to be upgraded to carry the modern demand of customers. DES line upgrade (LU) cost minimized and deferred to the next years by using energy storage sys...

Todays, energy management is necessary for clean and reliable energy production and consumption. To overcome this obstacle, using energy storage system (ESS) is seem as key factor. In this study, ESS intended to be used in distribution network (DN) to provide uninterrupted energy supply, and prevent a power outage as well as to reduce the load of D...

Technological developments continue to affect every area in our rapidly developing world. These developments gained momentum with the 4 th Industrial Revolution which we called Industry 4.0. This technological development, along with his work life, especially in many areas makes himself felt too much. Business owners should bring their own know-how...

Energy need is rapidly growing. Increasing population in big cities causes energy outages because of faults or system insufficiency in peak time. Smart grid allows to distribution grid operator (DGO) a flexibility. This flexibility relies on smart grid infrastructure and energy storage system (ESS). ESS has a number of benefits to DGO. ESS can smoo...

Utilization of renewable energy resources as on-grid or off-grid systems are in a continuous increase. It is mainly because of significant fluctuations on oil prices and rising environmental concerns. Moreover, wind and solar energy resources are utilized in electric energy generation for compensation of fast growing demand. In this study, a compar...

Energy outage (EO) is one of major energy quality problems. Turkish Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) forces distribution companies (DCs) to limit outage time and frequency in certain values. Otherwise EPDK require DCs to pay indemnity to customers that affected by outages throughout the year. In some cases the indemnity is more dominant pa...
