The microgrids design for remote locations represents one of the most important and critical applications of the microgrid concept. It requires the correct sizing and the proper utilization of the different sources to guarantee the…
Wildfires and other extreme weather conditions due to climate change are stressing the aging electrical infrastructure. Power utilities have implemented public safety power shutoffs as a method to mitigate the risk of wildfire by…
Operators who deploy large fleets of electric vehicles often face a challenging charge scheduling problem. Specifically, time-ineffective recharging operations limit the profitability of charging during service operations such that…
Integrated Energy Systems (IES) are systems of interconnected electricity, gas, heating, and cooling networks, where the carriers interact and depend on one another. Beyond these core vectors, IES may also incorporate additional…
Future power distribution grids will comprise a large number of components, each potentially able to carry out operations autonomously. Clearly, in order to ensure safe operation of the grid, individual operations must be coordinated among…
The world's power systems are undergoing a rapid transformation, shifting away from carbon-intensive power generation to renewable sources. As a result, electricity is being transported over ever longer distances, while the intrinsic system…
Our nation's infrastructure for generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity - "The Grid" - is a relic based in many respects on century-old technology. It consists of expensive, centralized generation via large plants, and a…
The large-scale access of electric vehicles to the power grid not only provides flexible adjustment resources for the power system, but the temporal uncertainty and distribution complexity of their energy interaction pose significant…
A key quality of any kind of system is its ability to deliver its respective service correctly. Often the unavailability of commercial systems may lead to lost revenue, which are minor compared to what may be at stake when critical…
In this paper, we address the power-aware scheduling of sporadic constrained-deadline hard real-time tasks using dynamic voltage scaling upon multiprocessor platforms. We propose two distinct algorithms. Our first algorithm is an off-line…
Energy systems resilience is becoming increasingly important as the frequency of major grid outages increases. In this work, we present a methodology to optimize a behind-the-meter distributed energy resource system to sustain a site's…
As electric vehicle (EV) adoption is growing year after year, there is no doubt that EVs will occupy a significant portion of transporting vehicle in the near future. Although EVs have benefits for environment, large amount of…
Robust synchronization is indispensable for stable operation of a power grid. Recently, it has been reported that a large number of decentralized generators, rather than a small number of large power plants, provide enhanced synchronization…
With the large-scale integration of electric vehicles (EVs) in the distribution grid, the unpredictable nature of EV charging introduces considerable uncertainties to the grid's real-time operations. This can exacerbate load fluctuations,…
This paper proposes a coordinated energy-mobility dispatch framework for grid support service provision in smart cities under time constraints. In particular, a scenario in which a distributed system operator requests a specified amount of…
Optimal decision-making is key to efficient allocation and scheduling of repair resources (e.g., crews) to service affected nodes of large power grid networks. Traditional manual restoration methods are inadequate for modern smart grids…
Electric power and natural gas systems are becoming increasingly interdependent, driven by the growth of natural gas-fired generation and the electrification of the gas industry. Recent energy crises have underscored the urgent need for…
Battery electric vehicles are rapidly entering the market. Their success offers great opportunities for the decarbonization of the transport sector, but also pose new challenges to energy infrastructures. Public charging stations must be…
This paper introduces a traffic evacuation model for railway disruptions to improve resilience. The research focuses on the problem of failure of several nodes or lines on the railway network topology. We proposed a holistic approach that…
In this work, we address the problem of charging coordination between electric trucks and charging stations. The problem arises from the tension between the trucks' nontrivial charging times and the stations' limited charging facilities.…
