Replicated state machines without replicated execution
This paper introduces a new approach to reduce end-to-end costs in large-scale replicated systems built under a Byzantine fault model. Specifically, our approach transforms a given replicated state machine (RSM) to another RSM where nodes incur lower costs ...
IEEE2020Aspects of the energy transition and their effects on power systems
Most European countries are committed to an energy transition which consists in the substitution of conventional CO2 emitting energy sources by new renewable energy sources (RES), in particular wind and solar power. As opposed to conventional energy source ...
EPFL2019Constrained hierarchical networked optimization for energy markets
In this paper, we propose a distributed control strategy for the design of an energy market. The method relies on a hierarchical structure of aggregators for the coordination of prosumers (agents which can produce and consume energy). The hierarchy reflect ...
IEEE2018A predictive pan-European economic and production dispatch model for the energy transition in the electricity sector
The energy transition is well underway in most European countries. It has a growing impact on electric power systems as it dramatically modifies the way electricity is produced. To ensure a safe and smooth transition towards a panEuropean electricity produ ...
Ieee2017Not if, but when? Simulating the impact of timing the nuclear phase-out in Switzerland
Matthias Finger, Reinier Verhoog, Paul Adrianus Van Baal
Swiss electricity companies are faced with uncertainty with regards to the future operation of nuclear power plants in the country. After Fukushima in 2011, the government decided on a gradual phase-out, but only provided a tentative planning. Hence, no ne ...
2017Optimum design of distributed energy hubs using hybrid surrogate models (HSM)
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Pamuditha Udaranga Wickramasinghe, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Vahid Moussavi Nik
The energy hub concept is gradually getting popular due to its capability to integrate renewable energy technologies into the energy grid with a minimum impact. Designing distributed energy hubs is a challenging task due to the coupling of optimum dispatch ...
Elsevier2017Energy Technology Environment Model with Smart Grid and Robust Nodal Electricity Prices
Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie
In this paper one introduces the modeling of power flow constraints for transmission grid in the multi-sectoral multi-energy long-term investment planning tool ETEM-SG. This extension allows a better representation of demand response for flexible loads tri ...
2016Linking electricity prices and costs in bottom-up top-down coupling under changing market environments
Electricity market liberalization is altering pricing mechanisms in wholesale electricity markets, which will affect the effectiveness of climate and energy policies. Models used to simulate such policies must be responsive to pricing rules. We show how th ...
2016Model predictive controllers for Reduction of Mechanical Fatigue in Wind Farms
We consider the problem of dispatching wind farm (WF) power demand to individual wind turbines (WTs) with the goal of minimizing mechanical stresses. We assume that wind is strong enough to let each WTs produce the required power and propose different clos ...
2016Methods and Performance Assessment of PMU-based Real-Time State Estimation of Active Distribution Networks
The evolution from passive to Active Distribution Networks (ADNs) is producing large changes in the operation of these electrical systems. In particular, violations of grid operational constraints, higher dynamics and limited amount of controllable resourc ...
