Improving the reliability of power distribution systems is critically important for both utilities and customers. This calls for an efficient service restoration module within a distribution management system to support the implementation…

Wildfires are natural disasters capable of damaging economies and communities. When wildfires become uncontrollable, Incident Manager Teams (IMT's) dispatch response vehicles to key assets to undertake protective tasks and so mitigate the…

Distribution Asset Management is an important task performed by utility companies to prolong the lifetime of the critical distribution assets and to accordingly ensure grid reliability by preventing unplanned outages. This study focuses on…

Restoring critical loads after extreme events demands adaptive control to maintain distribution-grid resilience, yet uncertainty in renewable generation, limited dispatchable resources, and nonlinear dynamics make effective restoration…

To cope with fast-fluctuating distributed energy resources (DERs) and uncontrolled loads, this paper formulates a time-varying optimization problem for distribution grids with DERs and develops a novel non-iterative algorithm to track the…

In spite of all advantages of solar energy, its deployment will significantly change the typical electric load profile, thus necessitating a change in traditional distribution grid management practices. In particular, the net load ramping,…

Connected and autonomous vehicles have the potential to minimize energy consumption by optimizing the vehicle velocity and powertrain dynamics with Vehicle-to-Everything info en route. Existing deterministic and stochastic methods created…

This paper addresses the challenges of decision-making for autonomous vehicles under faults during a transport mission. A real-time decision-making problem of vehicle routing planning considering maintenance management is formulated as an…

Mobile energy storage systems (MESS) offer great operational flexibility to enhance the resiliency of distribution systems in an emergency condition. The optimal placement and sizing of those units are pivotal for quickly restoring the…

In this paper, a novel proximity and load-aware resource allocation for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is proposed. The proposed approach exploits the spatio-temporal traffic patterns, in terms of load and vehicles' physical…

Autonomous mobile robots enable increased flexibility of manufacturing systems. The design and operating strategy of such a fleet of robots requires careful consideration of both fixed and operational costs. In this paper, a Monte-Carlo…

The ever increasing utilization of sensitive loads in the industrial, commercial and residential areas in distribution networks requires enhanced reliability and quality of supply. This can be achieved thanks to self healing features of…

This paper presents a novel data-driven approach for predicting the number of vegetation-related outages that occur in power distribution systems on a monthly basis. In order to develop an approach that is able to successfully fulfill this…

This paper addresses the problem of coordination of a fleet of mobile robots - the problem of finding an optimal set of collision-free trajectories for individual robots in the fleet. Many approaches have been introduced during the last…

This paper presents a UAV swarm system designed to assist first responders in disaster scenarios like wildfires. By distributing sensors across multiple agents, the system extends flight duration and enhances data availability, reducing the…

Due to the increasing occurrence of natural disasters, importance of maintaining sustainable energy for cities and society is felt more than ever. On the other hand, power loss reduction is a challenging issue of active distribution…

In this paper, we consider an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled emergency communication system, which establishes temporary communication link with users equipment (UEs) in a typical disaster environment with mountainous forest and…

Recovering postdisaster communications has become a major challenge for search and rescue. Device-to-device (D2D) and device-to-vehicle (D2V) networks have drawn attention. However, due to the limited D2D coverage and onboard energy,…

With the increasing of electric vehicle (EV) adoption in recent years, the impact of EV charging activities to the power grid becomes more and more significant. In this article, an optimal scheduling algorithm which combines smart EV…

UAVs are increasingly being employed to carry out surveillance, parcel delivery, communication-support and other specific tasks. Their equipment and mission plan are carefully selected to minimize the carried load an overall resource…
