Locational marginal pricing (LMP) is a widely employed method for pricing electricity in the wholesale electricity market. Although it is well known that the LMP mechanism is vulnerable to market manipulation, there is little literature…
Large-scale integration of renewable energy sources (RES) brings huge challenges to the power system. A cost-effective reserve deployment and uncertainty pricing mechanism are critical to deal with the uncertainty and variability of RES. To…
Optimized charging of electric vehicles (EVs) at public locations consists of two decisions: how much energy to deliver at what times, which is continuous, and where to plug in, which is binary. This makes optimizing EV charging a…
Some consumers, particularly households, are unwilling to face volatile electricity prices, and they can perceive as unfair price differentiation in the same local area. For these reasons, nodal prices in distribution networks are rarely…
In this paper, we address the issue of valuating Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) as Non-Wires Alternatives (NWAs) against wires investments in the traditional distribution network planning process. Motivated by the recent literature on…
Electrified transportation and power systems are mutually coupled networks. In this paper, a novel framework is developed for interdependent power and transportation networks. Our approach constitutes solving an iterative least cost vehicle…
This two-part paper considers the day-ahead operational planning problem of a radial distribution network hosting Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), such as Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and Electric Vehicles (EVs). In Part I, we develop a…
We study the system-level effects of the introduction of large populations of Electric Vehicles on the power and transportation networks. We assume that each EV owner solves a decision problem to pick a cost-minimizing charge and travel…
We propose a hierarchical local electricity market (LEM) at the primary and secondary feeder levels in a distribution grid, to optimally coordinate and schedule distributed energy resources (DER) and provide valuable grid services like…
Large, spatially flexible electricity consumers such as data centers can reallocate demand across locations, influencing dispatch and prices in wholesale electricity markets. While flexible load is often assumed to improve system…
The number of electric vehicles is rapidly increasing worldwide. This growth brings significant environmental benefits but also introduces new challenges: uncoordinated charging can place stress on the grid, particularly during peak hours.…
There are various undergoing efforts by system operators to set up an electricity market at the distribution level to enable a rapid and widespread deployment of distributed energy resources (DERs) and microgrids. This paper follows the…
Residential loads, especially heating, ventilation, and air conditioners (HVACs) and electric vehicles (EVs) have great potentials to provide demand flexibility which is an attribute of Grid-interactive Efficient Buildings (GEB). Under this…
A distributed, hierarchical, market based approach is introduced to solve the economic dispatch problem. The approach requires only a minimal amount of information to be shared between a central market operator and the end-users. Price…
The vast spatial dimension of modern interconnected electricity grids challenges the tractability of the DC optimal power flow problem. Grid aggregation methods try to overcome this challenge by reducing the number of network elements. Many…
The potential of recovering the topology of a grid using solely publicly available market data is explored here. In contemporary whole-sale electricity markets, real-time prices are typically determined by solving the network-constrained…
This paper proposes a distributed optimization-based algorithm for electric vehicle (EV) charging and discharging, incorporating EV customer economics and distribution network constraints enforced on an unbalanced distribution grid.…
The extraordinary electric vehicle (EV) popularization in the recent years has facilitated research studies in alleviating EV energy charging demand. Previous studies primarily focused on the optimizations over charging stations (CS) profit…
We propose an algorithm for distributed charging control of electric vehicles (EVs) using online learning and online convex optimization. Many distributed charging control algorithms in the literature implicitly assume fast two-way…
The new technologies emerging in the energy sector pose new requirements for both the regulation and operation of the electricity grid. Revised tariff structures and the introduction of local markets are two approaches that could tackle the…
