Though considerable effort has been devoted to exploiting generation-side and demand-side operational flexibility in order to cope with uncertain renewable generations, grid-side operational flexibility has not been fully investigated. In…
The argument of physical dimension/units is applied to electrical switched circuits, making the topic of the nonlinearity of such circuits simpler. This approach is seen against the background of a more general outlook (IEEE CAS MAG, III,…
The Smart Grid is not just about the digitalization of the Power Grid. In its more visionary acceptation, it is a model of energy management in which the users are engaged in producing energy as well as consuming it, while having…
This paper examines how decentralized energy systems can be enhanced using collaborative Edge Artificial Intelligence. Decentralized grids use local renewable sources to reduce transmission losses and improve energy security. Edge AI…
As the distributed energy generation and storage technologies are becoming economically viable, energy trading is gradually becoming a profit making option for end-users. This trend is further supported by the regulators and the policy…
As years passes wireless networks were rapidly improved, introducing new applications and services, as well as important challenges for mobility support. This research field is new with many researchers and scientists making their proposals…
The practice of scientific research is often thought of as individuals and small teams striving for disciplinary advances. Yet as a whole, this endeavor more closely resembles a complex system of natural computation, in which information is…
Smart grid is a modified form of electrical grid where generation, transmission, distribution and customers are not only connected electrically but also through strong communication network with each other as well as with market, operation…
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…
There is a general need of elaborating energy-effective solutions for managing our increasingly dense interconnected world. The problem should be tackled in multiple dimensions -technology, society, economics, law, regulations, and…
Over the past decade, the idea of smart homes has been conceived as a potential solution to counter energy crises or to at least mitigate its intensive destructive consequences in the residential building sector.
The Contribution for the Computing for the Energy Frontier as part of the Snowmass study is discussed.
The recent attention towards research and development in cyber-physical energy systems has introduced the necessity of emerging multi-domain co-simulation tools. Different educational, research and industrial efforts have been set to tackle…
Ancient Romans called 'urbs' the set of buildings and infrastructures, and 'civitas' the Roman citizens. Today instead, while the society is surfing the digital tsunami, 'urbs' and 'civitas' tend to become much closer, almost merging, that…
After about a decade of intense research, spurred by both economic and operational considerations, and by environmental concerns, energy efficiency has now become a key pillar in the design of communication networks. With the advent of the…
The critical infrastructures of the nation such as the power grid and the communication network are highly interdependent. Also, it has been observed that there exists complex interdependent relationships between individual entities of the…
The energy transition has recently experienced a further acceleration. In order to make the integration of renewable energies as cost-effective, secure and sustainable as possible and to develop new paradigms for the energy system, many…
