This paper presents a study which investigates the impact of cross-border electricity transmission capacity, as well as of generation capacity, on network reliability. Monthly empirical data on network reliability and generation and cross-border transmission capacities from 18 different European countries for a time span of 10 years is used. Results show how a higher sum of remaining generation margin...
The fundamental way of operating the power grid has not changed for the past century. It has remained essentially the same, although the number of consumers and their needs have grown exponentially. Utilities across the world are trying to figure out how to bring the network into the 21st century and the digital computer age. This effort will make the power grid more intelligent; the latter is broadly...
Smart grids are becoming an important issue in the future power system network configurations. Main goal of smart grid is to intelligently integrate the behavior and actions of all users connected to it. There are many researches dealing with the implementation of a self-healed, reliable, sustainable, economic, safe and highly efficient power system network. Many new challenges try to solve the problems...
Grid communications and control systems are often thought to be much more securely protected than is actually the case. An effective remedial program begins with a thorough and clear-eyed assessment of all vulnerabilities; especially to malware and intrusions. Both the importance and difficulty of protecting power systems have long been recognized. The critical assets that must be accounted for include...
This paper introduces a new and separated market for the trading of Demand Response (DR) in a restructured power system. This market is called Demand Response eXchange or shortly DRX, in which DR is treated as a virtual resource to be exchanged between DR buyers and sellers. Buyers - including the Transmission System Operator (TSO), distributors, and retailers - need DR to improve the efficiency and...
In restructured power systems, there are many independent players who benefit from demand response (DR). These include the transmission system operator (TSO), distributors, retailers, and aggregators. This paper proposes a new concept—demand response eXchange (DRX)—in which DR is treated as a public good to be exchanged between DR buyers and sellers. Buyers need DR to improve the reliability of their...
This paper examines the role of transmission system operator (TSO) in the context of energy security, using Poland as an example. Analysis of the role of TSO in ensuring energy security in legal, technical and economical domain is shown. Moreover, the evaluation of possibilities and effectiveness of solution applied in Poland for TSO from a point of view assurance of energy security is described.
This article deals with the challenges in reliability, security, efficiency, and resilience of energy infrastructure for a smart self-healing electric power grid. The electricity grid faces three looming challenges: its organization, its technical ability to meet 25 year and 50 year electricity needs, and its ability to increase its efficiency without diminishing its reliability and security. These...
