The integration of distributed generation (DG) units in power distribution networks has become increasingly important in recent years. The aim of the optimal DG placement (ODGP) is to provide the best locations and sizes of DGs to optimize electrical distribution network operation and planning taking into account DG capacity constraints. Several models and methods have been suggested for the solution of the ODGP problem. This paper presents an overview of the state of the art models and methods applied to the ODGP problem, analyzing and classifying current and future research trends in this field.

The future grid is evolving into a smart distribution network that integrates multiple distributed energy resources ensuring at the same time reliable operation and increased power quality. In recent years, many research papers have addressed the voltage violation problems that arise from the high penetration of distributed generation. In view of the transition to active network management and the increase in the quantity of collected data, distributed control schemes have been proposed that use pervasive communications to deal with the complexity of smart grid. This paper reviews the recent publications on distributed and decentralized voltage control of smart distribution networks, summarizes their control models, and classifies the solution methodologies. Moreover, it comments on issues that should be addressed in the future and the perspectives of industry applications.

Utilization of phasor measurement units (PMUs) in the monitoring, protection and control of power systems has become increasingly important in recent years. The aim of the optimal PMU placement (OPP) problem is to provide the minimal PMU installations to ensure full observability of the power system. Several methods, based on mathematical and heuristic algorithms, have been suggested for the OPP problem. This paper presents a thorough description of the state of the art of the optimization methods applied to the OPP problem, analyzing and classifying current and future research trends in this field.

Changes in the electricity business environment, dictated mostly by the increasing integration of renewable energy sources characterised by variable and uncertain generation, create new challenges especially in the liberalised market environment. The role of energy storage systems (ESS) is recognised as a mean to provide additional system security, reliability and flexibility to respond to changes that are still difficult to accurately forecast. However, there are still open questions about benefits these units bring to the generation side, system operators and the consumers. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the current research on ESS allocation (ESS sizing and siting), giving a unique insight into issues and challenges of integrating ESS into distribution networks and thus giving framework guidelines for future ESS research.
