Prospective power supply systems based on Renewable Energy Sources require measures to balance power generation and load at all times. The utilisation of storage devices and backup power plants is widely suggested for this purpose, whereas…
Frequency control reserves are an essential ancillary service in any electric power system, guaranteeing that generation and demand of active power are balanced at all times. Traditionally, conventional power plants are used for frequency…
Ad-hoc growth of single-phase-connected distributed energy resources, such as solar generation and electric vehicles, can lead to network unbalance with negative consequences on the quality and efficiency of electricity supply. Case-studies…
Carbon taxes are increasingly popular among policymakers but remain politically contentious. A key challenge relates to their distributional impacts; the extent to which tax burdens differ across population groups. As a response, a growing…
This paper presents a methodology for optimizing the planning and scheduling aspects of a community energy storage (CES) system in the presence of solar photovoltaic (SPV) power in low voltage (LV) distribution networks. To this end, we…
Due to market, there is flexibility in the price for power purchase by the utility. At the maximum loading condition the cost of power is high, hence conservation voltage reduction (CVR) is a useful technique in reducing power demand of the…
