A microgrid (MG) is a small-scale version of the power system which makes possible the integration of renewable resources as well as achieving maximum demand side management (DSM) utilization. The future power system will be faced with severe uncertainties owing to penetration of renewable resources. Consequently, the uncertainty assessment of system performance is essential. The conventional energy scheduling in an MG may not be suitable for active distribution networks. Hence, this study focuses on the probabilistic analysis of optimal power dispatch considering economic aspects in a multi-carrier networked microgrid. The aim is to study the impact of uncertain behavior of loads, renewable... 

Owing to the development of smart grids technologies, including renewable energy resources and integrated demand response, the traditional distribution network undergoes systemic improvements and has become an active system. To meet such changes in technology, the smart distribution grid is highly dependent on communication infrastructures. Although this strong reliance can make the distribution network susceptible to cyber threats, there has been inadequate attention to the distribution network cyber-security. An intruder can disrupt communication and effectively target the distribution management system core functions, leaving the distribution grid susceptible to loss of stability...
