A VSC-Based BESS Model for Multi-Objective OPF Using Mixed Integer SOCP
This paper presents a new model of voltage source converter (VSC)-based battery energy storage systems (BESSs) that interface with power grids. A VSC-based BESS is made up of a series connection of a VSC, its connecting transformer and a BESS. The VSC allo ...
IEEE2020A Multi-Step Reconfiguration Model for Active Distribution Network Restoration Integrating DG Start-Up Sequences
The ever-increasing penetration of Distributed Generators (DGs) in distribution networks suggests to enable their potentials in better fulfilling the restoration objective. The objective of the restoration problem is to resupply the maximum energy of loads ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2020Fundamentals of power systems modelling in the presence of converter-interfaced generation
This survey paper discusses the fundamentals of power systems modelling in the presence of large amounts of converter-interfaced generation (CIG). By referring to real-life events characterised by anomalous dynamics associated to the presence of CIG, the c ...
2020Inverse Problems and Optimal Power Flow in Active Distribution Networks
During the last decade, distribution networks have experienced essential changes driven by the integration of renewable-energy sources, batteries, electric-vehicle charging stations, etc. This results in not only opportunities, but also operational problem ...

IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2019A Receding Horizon Control Approach For Re-Dispatching Stochastic Heterogeneous Resources Accounting for Grid and Battery Losses
Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Emil Namor, Eleni Stai
In this paper, we propose a re-dispatch scheme for radial distribution grids hosting stochastic Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and controllable batteries. At each re-dispatch round, the proposed scheme computes a new dispatch plan that modifies and ex ...
2019Performance Assessment of Linearized OPF-based Distributed Real-time Predictive Control
Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan
We consider the problem of controlling heteroge-neous controllable resources of a distribution network with the objective of achieving a certain power flow at the grid connection point while respecting local grid constraints. The problem is formulated as a ...
IEEE2019An Adaptive Landing Gear for Extending the Operational Range of Helicopters
Conventional skid or wheel based helicopter landing gears severely limit off-field landing possibilities, which are crucial when operating in scenarios such as mountain rescue. In this context, slopes beyond 8° and small obstacles can already pose a substa ...
IEEE2019An Exact Convex Formulation of the Optimal Power Flow in Radial Distribution Networks Including Transverse Components
Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Mostafa Nick
The recent literature discusses the use of the relaxed Second Order Cone Programming (SOCP) for formulating Optimal Power Flow problems (OPF) for radial power grids. However, if the shunt parameters of the lines that compose the power grid are considered, ...
