“…Multiple sectors have shifted from physical to virtual environments to keep functioning, such as schools and universities; however, there are sectors where it is impossible to replace physical activities with virtual tasks, such as the construction industry [4,5]. The COVID-19 pandemic across the world has heavily disrupted the construction industry in multiple ways, such as limiting the number of workers allowed on construction sites, delaying projects' execution, adding financial stress to construction companies, and legal challenges related to the interpretation of contractual clauses, such as force majeure [6][7][8][9][10]. Furthermore, given the relevance that the construction sector has for the economic recovery of nations, it is of paramount importance to understand the impacts from COVID-19 on the construction industry [11,12].…”

The construction sector has been heavily impacted by COVID-19 due to the restricted conditions required by construction projects to perform physical activities. Given this context, it is of interest for the industry to identify the impacts that COVID-19 has had on the development of construction projects. However, little is known regarding how the impacts of COVID-19 have affected multiple stakeholders in construction projects and whether there is some interaction among such impacts. This study aims to explore the impacts of COVID-19 and their influence among different construction stakeholders (i.e., engineers and managers, workers, suppliers). This study was enabled by 40 semi-structured interviews that were performed with stakeholders in construction projects in Chile. Content analysis from the interviews led to the identification of categories of impacts and stakeholders, to the development of a cognitive map of the impacts, and to the application of correspondence analysis. Fifteen categories of impacts were identified, and six construction stakeholders were identified as having been impacted by COVID-19. Identifying the causes and effects of the impacts felt by multiple stakeholders revealed that these impacts interacted among each other. Understanding the impacts of COVID-19 on construction stakeholders may facilitate the development of effective mitigation strategies to reduce COVID-19 impacts on the construction sector.

“…Distributed generation is defined as electricity production via renewable energy sources (especially wind and solar sources) close to customer sites [4]- [8]. It is connected to the distribution network, reducing transmission losses and minimizing environmental issues [9], [10]. However, integrating new production plants in an already existing power system may modify the system configuration and lead to several problems; overvoltage, equipment overloading, reverse power flow, protection, and power quality issues [8].…”

<span lang="EN-US">Global warming has become a significant concern over the past decades. As a result, governments have shifted their policies toward renewable energy sources and environmentally friendly industries. This approach requires a renewal of the electrical networks to accommodate this new intermittent generation (from solar and wind sources) while remaining stable and reliable. In this vision, the notion of hosting capacity has been introduced to define the amount of new distributed generation that an electrical network can host without affecting its stability and reliability. This study proposes a deterministic method based on the π model of cables to estimate the underground feeder's hosting capacity. This method considers reverse power flow, overvoltage, reconfiguration, overloading, and the physical characteristics of lines. It is applied to the Moroccan medium voltage underground radial feeder. Through DIgSILENT power factory software, the power flow analysis is carried out to validate its effectiveness in overcoming overvoltage and cable overload problems. The results validate the relevance of our method, its reliability, its fluidity of application, and its ability to maintain performance indices within the acceptable range.</span>

<span lang="EN-US">The present work investigates the flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) device's role to improve the voltage stability for a distribution network of various types of loads. Our analysis was based on using a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) device over a test distribution system. Firstly, a detailed description of the mathematical model used in our system is presented. Then we studied the effect of inductive and capacitive loads with and without STATCOM. To investigate the efficacy and robustness of using STATCOM in a distribution network, a test system is developed using MATLAB/Simulink, where we analyzed the voltage profile in different cases. The results of the simulation demonstrate that the STATCOM plays a critical role in optimizing the voltage profiles of distribution systems, either capacitive or inductive.</span>
