It is likely that electricity storage will play a significant role in the balancing of future energy systems. A major challenge is then that of how to assess the contribution of storage to capacity adequacy, i.e. to the ability of such…
We consider the optimal spacing between marine reserves for maximising the viability of a species occupying a reserve network. The closer the networks are placed together, the higher the probability of colonisation of an empty reserve by an…
The growing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) is leading to continually changing operating conditions, which need to be managed efficiently by distribution grid operators. The intermittent nature of DERs such as solar…
This paper presents an intelligent home energy management system integrated with dispatchable loads (e.g., clothes washers and dryers), distributed renewable generators (e.g., roof-top solar panels), and distributed energy storage devices…
The supply of electrical energy is being increasingly sourced from renewable generation resources. The variability and uncertainty of renewable generation, compared to a dispatch-able plant, is a significant dissimilarity of concern to the…
The integration of renewable sources poses challenges at the operational and economic levels of the power grid. In terms of keeping the balance between supply and demand, the usual scheme of supply following load may not be appropriate for…
Virtual machine is built on group of real servers which are scattered globally and connect together through the telecommunications systems, it has an increasingly important role in the operation, providing the ability to exploit virtual…
In order to manage electricity transmission and distribution it is now common practice for system operators to offer financial incentives that encourage large consumers to reduce energy usage during designated peak demand periods. For train…
The inherent intermittency of renewable sources like wind and solar has resulted in a bundling of renewable generators with storage resources (batteries) for increased reliability. In this paper, we consider the problem of energy sharing…
With the fast growth of wind power penetration, power systems need additional flexibility to cope with wind power ramping. Several electricity markets have established requirements for flexible ramping capacity (FRC) reserves. This paper…
The development of renewable energy generation empowers microgrids to generate electricity to supply itself and to trade the surplus on energy markets. To minimize the overall cost, a microgrid must determine how to schedule its energy…
In electrical distribution grids, the constantly increasing number of power generation devices based on renewables demands a transition from a centralized to a distributed generation paradigm. In fact, power injection from Distributed…
With the rise of distributed energy resources and sector coupling, distributed optimization can be a sensible approach to coordinate decentralized energy resources. Further, district heating, heat pumps, cogeneration, and sharing concepts…
The constantly increasing number of power generation devices based on renewables is calling for a transition from the centralized control of electrical distribution grids to a distributed control scenario. In this context, distributed…
We present a capacity expansion model for deciding the new electricity generation and transmission capacity to complement an existing hydroelectric reservoir system. The objective is to meet a forecast demand at least expected cost, namely…
