With the increasingly prevalence of building automation devices and two-way communication infrastructure, home energy management has drawn lots of attentions in recent years. As a newly emerged residential energy resource, the home plugged electric vehicle (EV) has the potential to discharge energy and serve the home consumption. This paper proposes a home energy management (HEMS) by considering the...
Because of various developments in communications and technologies, each residential consumer has been enabled to contribute in Demand Response Programs (DRPs), manage its electrical usage and reduce its cost by using a Household Energy Management (HEM) system. An operational HEM model is investigated to find the minimum consumer's cost in every DRP and to guarantee the end-user's satisfaction, as...
This paper presents an intelligent battery management system (iBMS) used in Home Microgrid working in a grid-connected and island mode. The microgrid is composed by a PV generator, Battery system and a small residential group. This microgrid is located in a Caribbean zone which an average solar radiation greater than 1000 W/m2 but, with large intermittency due to the movement of cloud and also a high...
Self-sustainable base station (BS) where renewable resources and energy storage system (ESS) are interoperably utilized as power sources is a promising approach to save energy and operational cost in communication networks. However, high battery price and low utilization of ESS just for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) necessitates active utilization of ESS. This paper proposes a multi-functional...
Due to the expected high penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources in power grid, such as solar and wind, the issue of matching demand and supply would become more critical. In order to address the issue, this paper investigates the potential of Electric Vehicles (EVs) for the short term power imbalances in smart grid. This paper proposes a simple bidding algorithm for energy market for...
Decentralization of vertically integrated electrical power systems can bring economic, reliability and environmental benefits to society. Microgrids are a step to a more hybrid, less centralized power industry. A key objection from traditional electric utilities to distributed renewable energy is the variation injected to the power grid from variables sources such as the sun. A significant milestone...
