Frequency Regulation with Storage: On Losses and Profits

Daniel Kuhn, François Richard Vuille, Dirk Lauinger

Low-carbon societies will need to store vast amounts of electricity to balance intermittent generation from wind and solar energy, for example, through frequency regulation. Here, we derive an analytical solution to the decision-making problem of storage o ...

Vehicle-to-Grid for Reliable Frequency Regulation

Dirk Lauinger

Future low-carbon societies will need to store vast amounts of electricity to stabilize electricity grids and to power electric vehicles. Vehicle-to-grid allows vehicle owners and grid operators to share the costs of electricity storage by making the batte ...

A general framework for stock dynamics of populations and built and natural environments

Dirk Lauinger

Sustainable development involves a responsible management of the interactions between humans and their built and natural environment. From a physical perspective, the interactions can be characterized as stocks and flows of energy and matter within and bet ...

Reliable Frequency Regulation through Vehicle-to-Grid: Encoding Legislation with Robust Constraints

Daniel Kuhn, François Richard Vuille, Dirk Lauinger

Problem definition: Vehicle-to-grid increases the low utilization rate of privately owned electric vehicles by making their batteries available to electricity grids. We formulate a robust optimization problem that maximizes a vehicle owner’s expected profi ...

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 ...

A linear programming approach to the optimization of residential energy systems

Jan Van Herle, Daniel Kuhn, Dirk Lauinger, Priscilla Caliandro

A decision-support tool (ORES) in the form of a linear program is developed to determine the optimal investment and operating decisions for residential energy systems. It shows how energy conversion units such as a cogeneration fuel cell, a heat pump, a bo ...
