In this paper we develop a model of combined heat and power (CHP) dispatch for the system consisting of both thermal generators and wind turbines. In this model, the probability of stochastic wind power is included in the constraint set. This approach avoids the probabilistic infeasibility caused by using the average of random variables. The effects of wind speed on the generated power are investigated...
This paper contributes to the discussion about the future integration of Smart Grids in the existing energy supply system on a mostly economical and regulatory point of view. One of the main issues in this case is the increasing costs due to grid enhancements under regulated grid tariffs. On the one side a concept based on an integrative customer oriented approach is described and the new roles of...
This paper describes an undergraduate or graduate level student project that involves the design of an energy-efficient standalone distributed generation system integrating existing fossil fuel based energy sources with renewable energy sources and smart grid technologies for off-grid communities. One such application is the development of stand-alone electric power sources for Native American villages...
Southern California Edison Company, as well as the other California investor owned utilities are mandated to increase their Renewable Portfolio Standard to 20 percent by 2010 and by the Governor's Executive Order to 33 percent by 2020. When achieved, these types of energy resource assets potentially represent a significant means to meet State energy and environmental objectives. Edison is also embarking...
Electric power systems are entering a new realm of operations. Large amounts of variable generation tax our ability to reliably operate the system. Couple this with a greater reliance on the electricity network to serve consumer demand that is likely to rise significantly even as we drive for greater efficiency. Trade-offs between energy and environmental needs will be constantly negotiated, while...
