This paper is concerned with the problem of coordinating a set of distributed energy resources (DERs) in a lossy power distribution system to provide frequency regulation services to a bulk power grid with the explicit consideration of…
The small amount of measurements in distribution grids makes their monitoring more difficult. Topological observability may not be possible, and thus, pseudo-measurements are needed to perform state estimation, which is required to control…
This paper examines the value of storage in securing reliability of a system with uncertain supply and demand, and supply friction. The storage is frictionless as a supply source, but once used, it cannot be filled up instantaneously. The…
