The PS-DER research group aims to reconfigure the conventional power system into a modern power grid - the smart grid. Recent research tendencies towards the development of various smart grid applications have demonstrated rich and diverse prospects, deserving further investigation. Thus, this research group focuses on investigating the applications of smart grid, not limited to, but preferably in the following potential areas:

•  Active distribution networks

• Energy management systems

• Distributed generation

• Electric vehicles integration

• Renewable energy resources integration

•  Charging schemes

• Modern energy storage systems

• Electricity theft detection

• Short/mid/long-term load forecasting

• Networked micro-grids

Selected list of relevant recent publications.
