Energy flexibility is becoming more significant part of future power systems. Buildings can be a massive source of flexibility to face the challenges associated with the Smart Grid. Specially, a collection of buildings or a neighborhood can offer better flexibility by managing their energy profile. There are a number of standard frameworks developed to provide support for the design of different smart...
Rapid proliferation of the Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) is posing major operational challenges like congestions and voltage limit violations in the distribution networks. A number of direct and market-based control strategies are being widely developed to address these challenges. While the direct approaches aim to control the loads directly, the market-based control influences individual prosumers...
Along with the development of Smart Energy System (SES), the advancing popularity of hybrid energy appliances, such as micro-combined heat and power (CHP) and electric heaters, requires an overall energy management strategy to optimize the energy using while guaranteeing energy supply for both the electricity and heat demand. This paper based on the concept of Multi-Commodity Smart Energy System (MC-SES)...
In the smart grid and smart city context, the energy end-user plays an active role in the operation of the power system. The rapid penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Distributed Energy Resources (DER) requires a higher degree of flexibility on the demand side. As commercial and Industrial buildings (C&I) buildings represent a substantial aggregation of loads, the intertwined operation...
In order to maintain reliability and reduce uncertainties in the operation of the distribution network caused by a large penetration of distributed generation and energy intensive appliances, monitoring capabilities of distribution networks need to be improved for the deployment of proper control actions. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for securing network operation by enhanced monitoring...
Though the built environment represents a considerable amount of the total energy demand in cities, building operation still causes higher energy consumption than needed. Meanwhile, building's on-site generation has not been coupled properly with the building energy management system (BEMS). The supply demand problem is addressed in the energy management and becomes highly complex with the introduction...
Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) have been introduced in the built environment as a mechanism to increase the energy efficiency while maintaining the required comfort levels. BEMS also offers promising flexibility for Demand Side Management and Demand Responses (DSM&DR) to interact with Smart Grids. Through the use of intelligent control techniques, BEMS can be optimized to exploit the...
