Advanced control strategies to exploit the hydropower potential enhancing ancillary services provision to the power system
The European Union's Green Deal aims for a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. To reach this goal, a massive integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) into the power grid is necessary. As RES become a large part of the electricity genera ...
EPFL2024Dispatch-aware Optimal Planning of Active Distribution Networks including Energy Storage Systems
The thesis develops a planning framework for ADNs to achieve their dispatchability by means of ESS allocation while ensuring a reliable and secure operation of ADNs. Second, the framework is extended to include grid reinforcements and ESSs planning. Finall ...
EPFL2023End-to-End Learning for Stochastic Optimization: A Bayesian Perspective
Daniel Kuhn, Yves Rychener, Tobias Sutter
We develop a principled approach to end-to-end learning in stochastic optimization. First, we show that the standard end-to-end learning algorithm admits a Bayesian interpretation and trains a posterior Bayes action map. Building on the insights of this an ...
2023Reliable Dispatch of Active Distribution Networks via a Two-layer Grid-Aware Model Predictive Control: Theory and Experimental Validation
Mario Paolone, Rahul Kumar Gupta, Antonio Zecchino, Ji Hyun Yi
Dispatching active distribution networks (ADNs) is an energy-intensive application that, if implemented via battery-energy storage systems (BESSs), can require a large capacity of these assets in order to fully balance the uncertainties caused by the stoch ...
