Integrating renewable energy production into the electricity grid is an important policy goal to address climate change. However, such an integration faces economic and technological challenges. As power generation by renewable sources…
Through an eigenanalysis of small perturbations, as typically done in small-signal stability studies, we intend to discover the underlying reasons that make those perturbations propagate in some way or another in the grid. To this end, we…
In peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading, a secured infrastructure is required to manage trade and record monetary transactions. A central server/authority can be used for this. But there is a risk of central authority influencing the energy…
The exponential growth of distributed energy resources is enabling the transformation of traditional consumers in the smart grid into prosumers. Such transition presents a promising opportunity for sustainable energy trading. Yet, the…
The potential of recovering the topology of a grid using solely publicly available market data is explored here. In contemporary whole-sale electricity markets, real-time prices are typically determined by solving the network-constrained…
The energy transition towards an increased supply of renewable energy raises concerns that existing electricity grids, built to connect few centralized large power plants with consumers, may become more difficult to control and stabilized…
The transition to renewable energy is driving the rise of distributed multi-energy systems, in which individual energy hubs and prosumers (e.g., homes, industrial campuses) generate, store, and trade energy. Economic Model Predictive…
The limited capacity of distribution grids for hosting renewable generation is one of the main challenges towards the energy transition. Local energy markets, enabling direct exchange of energy between prosumers, help to integrate the…
Recently, we proposed a capacity expansion approach for transmission grids that combines the upgrade of transmission capacity with a transition in system structure to improve grid operation. The key to this concept is a particular hybrid…
The electric power grid is one of the largest and most complex infrastructures ever built by mankind. Modern civilization depends on it for industry production, human mobility, and comfortable living. However, many critical technologies…
With the development of the smart grid concept and the increasing expansion of advanced communication and measurement equipment, consumers can actively participate in the power system operation. The intelligent use of these facilities…
The aim of distribution networks is to meet their local area power demand with maximum reliability. As the electricity consumption tends to increase every year, limited line thermal capacity can lead to network congestion. Continuous…
We evolve network topology of an asymmetrically connected threshold network by a simple local rewiring rule: quiet nodes grow links, active nodes lose links. This leads to convergence of the average connectivity of the network towards the…
Power system models are a valuable and widely used tool to determine cost-minimal future operation and investment under political or ecological boundary conditions. Yet they are silent about the allocation of costs of single assets, as…
One of the most important goals of the 21st century is to change radically the way our society produces and distributes energy. This broad objective embodies in the smart grid's futuristic vision of a completely decentralized system powered…
Peer-to-peer energy trading is emerging as a new paradigm that in the near future may disrupt conventional electricity markets and heavily affect energy exchanges in networks of microgrids. In this paper, a preference mechanism is…
Local changes in the topology of electricity grids can cause overloads far away from the disturbance, making the prediction of the robustness against changes in the topology - for example caused by power outages or grid extensions - a…
We propose using a hierarchical retail market structure to alert and dispatch resources to mitigate cyber-physical attacks on a distribution grid. We simulate attacks where a number of generation nodes in a distribution grid are attacked.…
The global move towards efficient energy consumption and production has led to remarkable advancements in the design of the smart grid infrastructure. Local energy trading is one way forward. It typically refers to the transfer of energy…
The statistical tools of Complex Network Analysis are of great use to understand salient properties of complex systems, may these be natural or pertaining human engineered infrastructures. One of these that is receiving growing attention…
