This paper proposes a novel comprehensive operation and self-healing strategy for a distribution system with both dispatchable and nondispatchable distributed generators (DGs). In the normal operation mode, the control objective of the system is to minimize the operation costs and maximize the revenues. A rolling-horizon optimization method is used to schedule the outputs of dispatchable DGs based...
Distributed Generation (DG), Energy Storage (ES), and Demand Response (DR) are among the essential technologies proposed in the future electricity systems (Smart Grid) initiatives. To achieve increased levels of grid penetration by DG, ES, and DR, the current distribution systems in the United States will need to undergo significant changes in both infrastructure and regulatory policy. This paper...
Steadily increasing needs for electrical power, progress in power deregulation, tight construction constraints on new high voltage lines for long distance power transmission, and global environmental concerns have created increased interest in alternative energy generation. Hybrid combination of such sources can significantly improve their reliability and better deliver power to customer loads while...
Demand Side Management (DSM) programs consist of the scheduling, planning, executing and monitoring activities of load demand in such a way to ensure the load side management at utilities as well as consumers' levels. The main objective of DSM is optimizing the utilization of available electricity. In developing countries like Pakistan the importance of DSM has increased significantly due to considerable...
This paper presents an approach to the modelling and simulation of highly distributed power systems, in the context of existing UK distribution networks. The model is part of a framework to assess the network impact of high-penetrations of micro-generation, as well as demand side management (DSM) measures. This framework supports the representation of the 11 kV and low voltage distribution network...
At the authors institute a novel concept, the so called Energy Hub, was developed to solve optimal power flow (OPF) problems for integrated energy systems with multiple energy carriers. This paper applies the Energy Hub model on an OPF problem considering multiple renewables in a mixed-consumer area. From the experiences of a case study the following modifications of the general model were derived:...
The PowerMatcher concept developed at ECN has proven its value in the coordination of demand and supply of electricity in different settings with respect to distributed generation and accommodation of renewable energy resources. The concept has been applied in several field tests and simulations at various levels in the power system. The agent based technology on which the PowerMatcher is built has...
