Solar irradiance estimations for modeling the variability of photovoltaic generation and assessing violations of grid constraints: A comparison between satellite and pyranometers measurements with load flow simulations

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Rahul Kumar Gupta, Enrica Scolari

Global horizontal irradiance (GHI) is typically used to model the power output of distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation. On the one hand, satellite estimations are nonpervasive and already available from commercial providers, but they have a limited spa ...

A Comprehensive Assessment of the Short-Term Uncertainty of Grid-Connected PV Systems

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Enrica Scolari

One of the key aspects enabling the bulk integration of photovoltaic (PV) resources into the power grid is the short-term prediction of the maximum available power (from 100 ms to 5 minutes), and the quantification of the associated uncertainties. This is ...

Experimental Validation of an Explicit Power-Flow Primary Control in Microgrids

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Enrica Scolari, Andrey Bernstein, Andreas Martin Kettner, Niek Johannes Bouman, Benoit Jacques Louis Marie Cathiard

The existing approaches to control electrical grids combine frequency and voltage controls at different time-scales. When applied in microgrids with stochastic distributed-generation, grid quality of service problems may occur, such as under- or overvoltag ...

Fair control of distributed PV plants in low voltage grids

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Konstantina Christakou

In this paper we evaluate the potential of distributed photovoltaic (PV) plants for providing primary voltage control to the local distribution grid. Compared to the existing literature, we design an algorithm that schedules the nodal active and reactive p ...

Cost Requirements for a Small-Scale SOFC Fed From Agricultural-Derived Biogas

Jan Van Herle, Dirk Lauinger, Samuel Joseph Christian Majerus

In this work, the use of fuel cells for valorizing agricultural-derived biogas in Switzerland is studied. The Swiss agricultural case is characterized by farms with small numbers of animals (20 cows) and high feed-in tariffs (FIT) for biogas-derived electr ...

Distributed model predictive control of energy systems in microgrids

François Maréchal, Paul Michael Stadler, Araz Ashouri

This paper presents a flexible and modular control scheme based on distributed model predictive control (DMPC) to achieve optimal operation of decentralized energy systems in smart grids. The proposed approach is used to coordinate multiple distributed ene ...

A Linear Programming Model for Power Distribution with Demand Response and Variable Renewable Energ

Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie

A linear programming framework is proposed to model distribution network characteristics, and market clearing processes for flexible load and distributed energy resources providing reserve and reactive power compensation. One shows that the Nash equilibriu ...

Irradiance prediction intervals for PV stochastic generation in microgrid applications

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Enrica Scolari

The increasing interest in integrating volatile resources into microgrids implies the necessity of quantifying the uncertainty of photovoltaic (PV) production using dedicated probabilistic forecast techniques. The work presents a novel method to construct ...
