Enabling inter-area reserve exchange through stable benefit allocation mechanisms *

Maryam Kamgarpour, Gabriela Hug, Orcun Karaca

The establishment of a single European day-ahead market has accomplished the integration of the regional day-ahead markets. However, reserve provision and activation remain an exclusive responsibility of regional operators. This limited spatial coordinatio ...

OPF-driven Under Frequency Load Shedding in Low-Inertia Power Grids Hosting Large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems

Mario Paolone, Asja Derviskadic, Yihui Zuo

The paper describes the formulation and application of an Optimal Power Flow (OPF)-driven Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) scheme in low-inertia power grids hosting large-scale battery energy storage systems. Thanks to the accurate prediction of the sy ...

A Planner-Trader Decomposition for Multi-Market Hydro Scheduling

Daniel Kuhn, Napat Rujeerapaiboon, Kilian Schindler, Wolfram Wiesemann

Peak/off-peak spreads on European electricity forward and spot markets are eroding due to the ongoing nuclear phaseout and the steady growth in photovoltaic capacity. The reduced profitability of peak/off- peak arbitrage forces hydropower producers to reco ...

Characterizing the Reserve Provision Capability Area of Active Distribution Networks: A Linear Robust Optimization Method

Fabrizio Sossan, Mokhtar Bozorg, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Mohsen Kalantar Neyestanaki

Distributed energy resources (DERs) installed in active distribution networks (ADNs) can be exploited to provide both active and reactive power reserves to the upper-layer grid (i.e., sub-transmission and transmission systems) at their connection point. Th ...

Impact of battery energy storage systems on the dynamic behavior of low-inertia power grids

Yihui Zuo

The extensive deployment of non-synchronous generation determines lower level of grid inertia resulting in deteriorated frequency containment performance and abnormal frequency excursions in case of contingency. This calls for identifying assets, controls, ...

Performance assessment of grid-forming and grid-following converter-interfaced battery energy storage systems on frequency regulation in low-inertia power grids

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Yihui Zuo, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Antonio Zecchino, Zhao Yuan

Power systems with large shares of converter-interfaced renewables may be characterised by low grid inertia due to the lack of frequency containment provided by synchronous generators. Battery energy storage systems (BESSs), which can adjust their power ou ...

Balancing management of strategic aggregators using non-cooperative game theory

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Mokhtar Bozorg, Mohammad Rayati

The aggregators are intermediary players at the distribution system level. They manage the financial transactions of resources such as micro-turbines (MTs), photo-voltaic (PV) production systems, flexible demands (FDs), and must-run demands (MDs) in the en ...

OPF-based under frequency load shedding predicting the dynamic frequency trajectory

Mario Paolone, Asja Derviskadic, Guglielmo Frigo, Yihui Zuo, Quentin Walger

The paper describes a centralized Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) method, where load shedding decisions are based on the solution of an optimization problem. The proposed approach anticipates the evolution of the grid frequency trajectory by means of ...

Assessment of Commercial Building Lighting as a Frequency Regulation Resource

Alexandra Cameron Karpilow

This paper evaluates the potential for automated lighting control as a resource for frequency regulation of the electric grid system in the context of current energy policies, economic incentives, and technological trends. The growing prevalence of renewab ...

Allocation of Active Power Reserve from Active Distribution Networks Using a Cost-Benefit Approach: Application to Swissgrid Network

Fabrizio Sossan, Mokhtar Bozorg, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Mohsen Kalantar Neyestanaki

The flexibility of distributed energy resources (DERs) accommodated in active distribution networks (ADNs) can be aggregated and then used to provide ancillary services to the transmission system. In this context, this paper presents a linear optimization ...
