ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEMS RESEARCH
Abstract
Microgrids are able to improve several features of power systems, such as energy efficiencies, operating costs and environmental impacts. Nevertheless, microgrids' protection must work congruently with power distribution protection to safely take all advantages. This research contributes to enable their protection by proposing a bilevel method to simultaneously solve the allocation and coordination problems, where the proposed scheme also includes local protections of distributed energy resources. The uncertainties associated with generation and loads are categorized by the k-means method, as well. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II is employed in the upper-level task to solve the protection and control devices allocation problem with two opposing objectives. In the lower-level task, a genetic algorithm ensures their coordination. Protection devices include reclosers and fuses from the network, and directional relays for the point of common coupling of microgrids, while control devices consist of remote-controlled switches. In contrast to related works, local devices installed at the point of coupling of distributed generation units are considered as well, such as voltage-restrained overcurrent relays and frequency relays. The optimal solution for the decision-maker is achieved by utilizing the compromise programming technique. Results show the importance of solving the allocation and coordination problems simultaneously, achieving up to $25,000 cost savings compared to cases that solve these problems separately. The integrated strategy allows the network operator to select the optimum solution for the protective system and avoid corrective actions afterward. The results also show the viability of the islanding operation depending on the decision maker's criteria.

Abstract
In this paper, a hybridization method based on Arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) and Aquila optimizer (AO) solver namely, the AO-AOA is applied to solve the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem to independently optimize generation fuel cost, power loss, emission, voltage deviation, and L index. The proposed AO-AOA algorithm follows two strategies to find a better optimal solution. The first strategy is to introduce an energy parameter (E) to balance the transition between the individuals' procedure of exploration and exploitation in AOAOA swarms. Next, a piecewise linear map is employed to reduce the energy parameter's (E) randomness. To evaluate the performance of the proposed AO-AOA algorithm, it is tested on two well-known power systems i.e., IEEE 30-bus test network, and IEEE 118-bus test system. Moreover, to validate the effectiveness of the proposed (AO-AOA), it is compared with a famous optimization technique as a competitor i.e., Teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO), and recently published works on solving OPF problems. Furthermore, a robustness analysis was executed to determine the reliability of the AO-AOA solver. The obtained result confirms that not only the AO-AOA is efficient in optimization with significant convergence speed, but also denotes the dominance and potential of the AO-AOA in comparison with other works.

Abstract
The increasing number of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) provides new opportunities for increased interactions between prosumers and local distribution companies. Aggregating large numbers of prosumers through Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) allows for easier control and coordination of these interactions. With the contribution of the dedicated end-users in fulfilling the required flexibility during the day, the network operator can easily handle the power mismatches to avoid fluctuations in the load-generation side. The bi-level optimization allows for a more comprehensive and systematic assessment of flexibility procurement strategies. By considering both the network operator's objectives and the preferences and capabilities of end-users, this approach enables a more nuanced and informed decision-making process. Hence, this article presents a bi-level optimization model to examine the potential for several groups of prosumers to offer flexibility services to distribution companies. The model is applied to the IEEE 33 bus test system and solved through distributed optimization techniques. The model considers various DERs, including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Results show that the groups of aggregated consumers can provide between +/- 7 to +/- 29 kW flexibility in each interval, which is significant. Furthermore, the aggregators' flexibility capacity is closely linked to the demand at each node.

Abstract
The optimal power flow (OPF) is one of the most noticeable and integral tools in the power system operation and control and aims to obtain the most economical combination of power plants to exactly serve the total demand of the system without any load shedding or islanding through adjusting control variables to meet operational, economic, and environmental constraints. To achieve this goal, the successful implementation of an expeditious and reliable optimization algorithm is crucial. To solve this issue, this research proposes an enhanced democratic political algorithm (DPA), which can effectively solve multi-objective optimum power flow problems. The proposed method is a version of the democratic political optimization algorithm in which the search capability of this method to cover the borders of the Pareto frontier is enhanced. For the sake of practicality, the objectives with innate differences such as total emission, active power loss, and fuel cost are selected. Due to the practical limitations in real power systems, additional restrictions including valve-point effect, multi-fuel characteristics, and forbidden operational zones, are also considered. The proposed approach is tested and validated on IEEE 57 bus and IEEE 118-bus systems with different case studies. Simulation results are analyzed and compared with two popular and commonly used multi-objective-evolutionary algorithms namely, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) and the multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) on the problem. The study results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in handling different scales, non-convex, and multi-objective optimization problems.

Abstract
This paper proposes a comprehensive optimization program to increase economic efficiency and improve the resiliency of the Distribution Network (DN). A Demand Response Program (DRP) integrated with Home Energy Storage Systems (HESSs) is presented to optimize the energy consumption of household consumers. Each consumer implements a Smart Home Energy Management System (SHEMS) to optimize their energy consumption according to their desired comfort and preferences. To modify the consumption pattern of household consumers, a Real-Time Pricing (RTP) algorithm is proposed to reflect the energy price of the wholesale market to the retail market and consumers. In addition, a Self-Healing System Reconfiguration (SHSR) program integrated with Distributed Energy Resources (DER), reactive power compensation equipment, and Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) is presented to manage the DN energy and restore the network loads in disruptive events. The reconfiguration operation is performed by converting the isolated part of the DN from the upstream network to several self-sufficient networked virtual microgrids without executing any switching process. Real data of California households are considered to model the home appliances and HESSs. The proposed comprehensive program is validated on the modified IEEE 123-bus feeder in normal and emergency operating conditions.
