With the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources and energy storage devices in the power system, it is important to evaluate the cost of the system by using Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). In this paper a new metric, Levelized…
The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) presents the energy-normalized cost of a generation asset by considering all associated costs (investment and operation) and total generated energy over its life cycle. As LCOE is a levelized value, it…
Demand response (DR) is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach for mitigating the uncertainties in renewable energy integration by taking advantage of the flexibility of customers' demands. However, existing DR programs…
One of the major issues with the integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid is the increased uncertainty and variability that they bring. If this uncertainty is not sufficiently addressed, it will limit the further…
