Electric Power Systems Research 

TL;DR: In this article, the relevant issues and aims at providing a general definition for distributed power generation in competitive electricity markets are discussed, which can be defined as electric power generation within distribution networks or on the customer side of the network.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a summary of demand response in deregulated electricity markets and highlight the most common indices used for DR measurement and evaluation, and some utilities' experiences with different demand response programs are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the present status of battery energy storage technology and methods of assessing their economic viability and impact on power system operation and suggest a likely future outlook for the battery technologies and the electric hybrid vehicles in the context of power system applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the key issues concerning the integration of distributed generation into electric power systems that are of most interest today and analyze the repercussions in transmission system operation and expansion that result from the connection of large amounts of DG of different energy conversion systems focusing on issues related with impacts in steady state operation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a survey of this revolutionary approach of DGs, which will change the way electric power systems operate along with their types and operating technologies, and survey the operational and economical benefits of implementing DGs in the distribution network.
