This paper investigates the energy management problem for multiple self-interested users, each with renewable energy generation as well as both the fixed and controllable loads, that all share a common energy storage system (ESS). The…
The increase in renewable energy sources (RES) has reduced power system inertia, making frequency stabilization more challenging and highlighting the need for fast frequency response (FFR) resources. While building energy management systems…
In this letter, we propose a control framework for human-in-the-loop systems, in which many human decision makers are involved in the feedback loop composed of a plant and a controller. The novelty of the framework is that the decision…
This paper evaluates how the planning of a community energy storage (CES) system under different energy trading schemes (ETSs) can benefit low voltage (LV) prosumers and the CES provider equitably. First, we consider an ETS where the CES…
Building energy management is one of the core problems in modern power grids to reduce energy consumption while ensuring occupants' comfort. However, the building energy management system (BEMS) is now facing more challenges and…
Home energy management systems (HEMSs) are expected to become a crucial part of future smart grids. However, there is a limited number of studies that comprehensively assess the potential economic benefits of HEMS for consumers under real…
Optimal day-ahead scheduling for a system-centric community energy management system (CEMS) is proposed to provide economic benefits and user comfort of energy management at the community level. Our proposed community includes different…
Due to proliferation of energy efficiency measures and availability of the renewable energy resources, traditional energy infrastructure systems (electricity, heat, gas) can no longer be operated in a centralized manner under the assumption…
We consider a network of residential heating systems in which several prosumers satisfy their heating and hot water demand using solar thermal collectors and services of a central producer. Overproduction of heat can either be stored in a…
The roll-out of smart meters in electricity networks introduces risks for consumer privacy due to increased measurement frequency and granularity. Through various Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring techniques, consumer behavior may be inferred…
Deployment of shared energy storage systems (SESS) allows users to use the stored energy to meet their own energy demands while saving energy costs without installing private energy storage equipment. In this paper, we consider a group of…
In this work, a composite economic model predictive control (CEMPC) is proposed for the optimal operation of a stand-alone integrated energy system (IES). Time-scale multiplicity exists in IESs dynamics is taken into account and addressed…
An increasing share of consumers care about the carbon footprint of their electricity. This paper analyzes a method to integrate consumer carbon preferences in the electricity market-clearing by introducing consumer-based carbon costs and a…
The Detector Control System (DCS) of the COMPASS experiment at CERN is presented. The experiment has a high level of complexity and flexibility and a long time of operation, that constitute a challenge for its full monitorisation and…
Educational recommender systems (ERSs) play a crucial role in personalizing learning experiences and enhancing educational outcomes by providing recommendations of personalized resources and activities to learners, tailored to their…
We propose in this paper an optimal control framework for renewable energy communities (RECs) equipped with controllable assets. Such RECs allow its members to exchange production surplus through an internal market. The objective is to…
Recently there have been several historical changes in electricity networks that necessitate the development of Demand Side Management (DSM). The main objective of DSM is to achieve an aggregated consumption pattern that is efficient in…
Smart grids technologies are enablers of new business models for domestic consumers with local flexibility (generation, loads, storage) and where access to data is a key requirement in the value stream. However, legislation on personal data…
In coming years residential consumers will face real-time electricity tariffs with energy prices varying day to day, and effective energy saving will require automation - a recommender system, which learns consumer's preferences from her…
