We consider the aggregation of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar PV, energy storage, and flexible loads, by a profit-seeking aggregator participating directly in the wholesale market under distribution network access…
In Industry 4.0 manufacturing environments, forecasting Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) is critical for data-driven operational control and predictive maintenance. However, the highly volatile and nonlinear nature of OEE time…
This paper presents a methodology for building daily profiles of wind generation and load for different seasons to assess their impacts on voltage violations. The measurement-based wind models showed very high accuracy when validated…
The methods currently used to determine the scaling exponent of a complex dynamic process described by a time series are based on the numerical evaluation of variance. This means that all of them can be safely applied only to the case where…
Identifying the location of a disturbance and its magnitude is an important component for stable operation of power systems. We study the problem of localizing and estimating a disturbance in the interconnected power system. We take a…
Load uncertainty must be accounted for during design to ensure building energy systems can meet energy demands during operation. Reducing building load uncertainty allows for improved designs with less compromise to be identified, reducing…
Load disaggregation techniques infer the operation of different power consuming devices from a single measurement point that records the total power draw over time. Thus, a device consuming power at the moment can be understood as…
Power outages caused by extreme weather events due to climate change have doubled in the United States in the last two decades. Outages pose severe health risks to over 4.4 million individuals dependent on in-home medical devices. Data on…
Output impedances are inherent elements of power sources in the electrical grids. In this paper, we give an answer to the following question: What is the effect of output impedances on the inductivity of the power network? To address this…
The paper proposes a novel Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC) scheme for Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) to simultaneously address path following accuracy and energy constraints under environmental disturbances. By formulating…
With the increasing penetration of behind-the-meter (BTM) resources, it is vital to monitor the components of these resources and deduce their response behavior to external environment. Owing to data privacy, however, the appliance-wise…
Global market-driven forces and customer needs are continuously changing. In the past, profitability and efficiency were the primary objectives of most companies. However, in recent decades, sustainable performance has emerged as a new…
Efforts to reduce climate change, but also falling prices and significant technology developments currently drive an increased weather-dependent electricity production from renewable electricity sources. In light of the changing climate, it…
The rapid expansion of low-cost renewable electricity combined with end-use electrification in transport, industry, and buildings offers a promising path to deep decarbonisation. However, aligning variable supply with demand requires…
Fine-grained runtime power management techniques could be promising solutions for power reduction. Therefore, it is essential to establish accurate power monitoring schemes to obtain dynamic power variation in a short period (i.e., tens or…
Whereas maintenance has been recognized as an important and effective means for risk management in power systems, it turns out to be intractable if cascading blackout risk is considered due to the extremely high computational complexity. In…
Urban wastewater sector is being pushed to optimize processes in order to reduce energy consumption without compromising its quality standards. Energy costs can represent a significant share of the global operational costs (between 50% and…
Corporate renewable power purchase agreements (PPAs) are long-term contracts that enable companies to source renewable energy without having to develop and operate their own capacities. Typically, producers and consumers agree on a fixed…
Online decision support for effective mitigation actions against propagating cascading outages in a power grid still poses a big challenge to grid operators. This paper proposes an online mitigation strategy against cascading outages using…
Outages from natural disasters, political events, software or hardware issues, and human error place a huge cost on e-commerce (\$66k per minute at Amazon). While several existing systems detect Internet outages, these systems are often too…
