Distribution Network Reconfiguration Considering the Impacts of Local Renewable Generation and External Power Grid

The distribution network (DN) reconfiguration is a well-known optimal power flow (OPF) problem. However, with the transition of DN from 'passive' to 'active', new technical challenges arise in DN reconfiguration. This article addresses two key issues in this regard. Firstly, the integration of local renewable generation (LRG) introduces...

Efficient Online Globalized Dual Heuristic Programming With an Associated Dual Network

Globalized dual heuristic programming (GDHP) is the most comprehensive adaptive critic design, which employs its critic to minimize the error with respect to both the cost-to-go and its derivatives simultaneously. Its implementation, however, confronts a dilemma of either introducing more computational load by explicitly calculating the...
