In this paper, the control objectives of future active distribution networks with high penetration of renewables and flexible loads are analyzed and reviewed. From a state of the art review, the important control objectives seen from the perspective of a distribution system operator are identified to be hosting capacity improvement, high reliable operation and cost effective network management. Based...
In this study, a new pricing approach is proposed to increase demand responsiveness. The proposed approach considers two well-known demand side management techniques, namely peak shaving and valley filling. This is done by incentivizing consumers by magnifying price difference between peak and off-peak hours. The usefulness of the suggested method is then investigated by its combination with an electric...
The electrification of heating and transportation along with the penetration of renewable energy in electricity networks has necessitated the evolution of low voltage distribution grids into smart grids. Contemporary, smart grids are realised by smart meter installations to electricity end users. In the literature, these meters aim at online metering of the grid status. Depending on this status, proactive...
The prospects of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in providing clean transportation and supporting renewable electricity is widely discussed in sustainable energy forums worldwide. The battery storage of EVs could be used to address the variability and unpredictability of electricity produced from renewable energy sources like wind in power systems. The EV batteries could be used to charge during periods of...
Recent technological developments have facilitated the emergence of smart grids. In the smart grid perspective, metering and communication functionalities of the grid are greatly enhanced, thus boosting its observability and load management capabilities. This is an ideal scenario which is frequently encountered in contemporary literature. Unfortunately, in reality, operational and financial reasons...
In the Smart Grid context, one of the most broadly investigated areas is the matter of flexibility. This term is still not defined in a unified way. As such, it is frequently encountered in both transmission and distribution system studies, nonetheless, with various perspectives. To some extent, the reason for this is that flexibility is a multidimensional commodity. It can be associated with a unit...
