Microgrids equipped with small-scale renewable-energy generation systems and energy storage units offer challenging opportunity from a control point of view. In fact, in order to improve resilience and enable islanded mode, micro-grid energy management systems must dynamically manage controllable loads by considering not only matching energy generation and consumption, but also thermal comfort of...
Integration of renewable energy sources in microgrids can be achieved via demand response programs, which change the electric usage in response to changes in the availability and price of electricity over time. This paper presents a novel control algorithm for joint demand response management and thermal comfort optimization in microgrids equipped with renewable energy sources and energy storage units...
Over the recent past years research effort has been dedicated towards addressing a generic solution in System of Systems (SoS) control problems. Two are the main obstacles that have to be bypassed in such problem cases, especially in real life applications, rendering the optimization problem into a complicated/challenging one: (i) modelling/simulation tools are usually used in order to construct an...
The demand-side energy management of microgrids comprising of buildings of heterogeneous nature (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.) and thus exhibiting heterogeneous occupancy pattern, requires the development of appropriate energy management systems (EMSs) that can integrate the maximum exploitation of the distributed energy resources like photovoltaic panels with the thermal comfort of the...
Energy efficient operation of microgrids, a localized grouping of controllable loads with distributed energy resources like solar photovoltaic panels, requires the development of energy management systems (EMSs) with the capability of controlling the loads so as to optimize the aggregate performance of the microgrid. In microgrids comprising of buildings of different nature (residential, commercial,...
Conventional high torque low speed drive systems commonly have a mechanical transmission between the induction motor and the load consisting of gears, gear heads, belt/pulleys or camshafts. The main drawbacks of such setups, are the deficiency of the drive system, its high cost and the maintenance needs. An alternative to this, is the replacement of the induction motor and its mechanical transmission...
