We experimentally solve the problem of maximizing capacity under a total supply power constraint in a massively parallel submarine cable context, i.e., for a spatially uncoupled system in which fiber Kerr nonlinearity is not a dominant limitation. By using ...
The establishment of a single European day-ahead market has accomplished the integration of the regional day-ahead markets. However, the reserves provision and activation remain an exclusive responsibility of regional operators. This limited spatial coordi ...
As non-controllable power sources, photovoltaics can create overvoltage and overloading in low voltage (LV) distribution feeders during periods of high generation and low demand. This is usually prevented passively by limiting the penetration level of PV t ...
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 ...
The paper reviews recent research and development activities in the field of hydropower technology. It covers emerging and advanced technologies to mitigate flow instabilities (active and passive approach) as well as emerging magneto-rheological control te ...
In our modern society, the average citizen has turned into a daily cloud user. Despite being virtually transparent for the user, internet services require data centers behind the scenes. Data centers burn several megawatts of power and their electricity bi ...
Islanded microgrids have low real and reactive power generation capacity and low synchronous inertia. This makes them susceptible to large frequency and voltage deviations caused by switching of large loads or equipment failures. These events deteriorate p ...
Large horsepower induction motors play a critical role in the operation of industrial facilities. In this respect, the distribution network operators dedicate a high priority to the operational safety of these motor loads. In this paper, the induction moto ...
In a power grid, the electricity supply and demand must be balanced at all times to maintain the system's frequency. In practice, the grid operator achieves this balance by procuring frequency reserves in an ahead-of-time market setting. During runtime, th ...
In this article, we use a spectral and statistical analysis of load fluctuations to calculate plausible conditions that an electricity mix of power sources must satisfy to fulfill a variable power demand on a territory. These criteria can be applied to ele ...
