Abstract
This paper presents an integrated approach for assessing the impact that distributed energy resources (DERs), mostly intermittent in nature, might have on the reliability performance of distribution networks. A test distribution system based on a typical MV/LV urban distribution network in the UK is fully modelled and controlled to investigate the potential benefits that local renewables and energy storage can offer to the quality of power supply to customers. In this analysis, the conventional Monte Carlo method is further developed to include the time-variation of electricity demand profiles and failure rates of network components. Additionally, a theoretical interruption model is employed to assess more accurately the moment in time when interruptions to electricity customers are likely to occur. Accordingly, the impact of the spatio-temporal variation of DERs, with photovoltaic (PV) systems as key enablers, is quantified in terms of the effect of network outages. A range of smart grid functionalities is analysed and their benefits are assessed through standard reliability indices, with special attention to energy not supplied to customers, as well as frequency and duration of supply interruptions.

Abstract
In this paper a small-signal and noise modeling approach is developed and applied to GaN HEMTs. The main advantage of the proposed method is its simplicity and dependency on only pinch-off S-parameter measurements. The achieved model shows good fitting with microwave experiments performed on nonlinear solid-state devices with different sizes. The model reliability is further confirmed by the observed scaling of the extracted parameters.

Abstract
This paper presents an efficient parameter extraction method applied to GaN high electron mobility transistors. The procedure only relies on S-parameter measurements at cold bias conditions to extract the extrinsic parameters of a 19-element small-signal model. Hybrid technique of particle-swarm-optimization and direct fitting has been developed and implemented. The extraction procedure has been optimized to consider measurements uncertainty and improve the reliability of the extraction. The procedure has been validated by multibias extraction for different device sizes. A very good agreement between simulations and measurements has been obtained.
