This paper proposes a novel congestion mitigation strategy for low voltage residential feeders in which the rising power demand due to the electrification of the transport and heating systems leads to congestion problems. The strategy is…
Demand response services at the distribution level are emerging as enabling strategies for improving grid reliability in the presence of intermittent renewable generation and grid congestion. For residential loads, space heating and…
We study a scheduling problem arising in demand response management in smart grid. Consumers send in power requests with a flexible feasible time interval during which their requests can be served. The grid controller, upon receiving power…
As the popularity of electric vehicles increases, the demand for more power can increase more rapidly than our ability to install additional generating capacity. In the long term we expect that the supply and demand will become balanced.…
To date the majority of commuters use their privately owned vehicle that uses an internal combustion engine. This transportation model suffers from low vehicle utilization and causes environmental pollution. This paper studies the use of…
Smart home appliances can time-shift and curtail their power demand to assist demand side management or allow operation with limited power, as in an off-grid application. This paper proposes a scheduling process to start appliances with…
As an environment-friendly substitute for conventional fuel-powered vehicles, electric vehicles (EVs) and their components have been widely developed and deployed worldwide. The large-scale integration of EVs into power grid brings both…
Volatile electrical energy prices are a challenge and an opportunity for small and medium-size companies in energy-intensive industries. By using electrical energy storage and/or an adaptation of production processes, companies can…
Heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems consume a large amount of energy in residential houses and buildings. Effective energy management of HVAC is a cost-effective way to improve energy efficiency and reduce the energy…
The emerging interest in deployment of renewable energy resources (RESs) in smart system represents a great challenge to both system planners and owners of Microgrids (MGs) operators. In this regard, we propose a Tri-level power market…
As we transition towards a power grid that is increasingly based on renewable resources like solar and wind, the intelligent control of distributed energy resources (DER) including photovoltaic (PV) arrays, controllable loads, energy…
The smart grid with its two-way communication and bi-directional power layers is a cornerstone in the combat against global warming. It allows for the large scale adoption of distributed (individually-owned) renewable energy resources such…
We propose and solve a stochastic dynamic programming (DP) problem addressing the optimal provision of regulation service reserves (RSR) by controlling dynamic demand preferences in smart buildings. A major contribution over past dynamic…
Demand-side response programs which also called Demand Response (DR) are interesting ways to attract consumers' participation in order to improve electric consumption patterns. DR programs motivate customers to change consumption patterns…
As an efficient way to integrate multiple distributed energy resources and the user side, a microgrid is mainly faced with the problems of small-scale volatility, uncertainty, intermittency and demand-side uncertainty of DERs. The…
A major challenge to implementing residential demand response is that of aligning the objectives of many households, each of which aims to minimize its payments and maximize its comfort level, while balancing this with the objectives of an…
The smart grid is envisioned to significantly enhance the efficiency of energy consumption, by utilizing two-way communication channels between consumers and operators. For example, operators can opportunistically leverage the delay…
The prospective participation of smart buildings in the electricity system is strongly related to the increasing active role of demand-side resources in the electrical grid. In addition, the growing penetration of smart meters and recent…
Data center operators are typically faced with three significant problems when running their data centers, i.e., rising electricity bills, growing carbon footprints and unexpected power outages. To mitigate these issues, running data…
Demand response provides utilities with a mechanism to share with end users the stochasticity resulting from the use of renewable sources. Pricing is accordingly used to reflect energy availability, to allocate such a limited resource to…
