System and method for operating a combination of heterogeneous energy resources for fast grid services

Colin Neil Jones, Ioannis Lymperopoulos, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Faran Ahmed Qureshi, Luca Fabietti

The present invention concerns a method of controlling a set of electrical power resources in an electrical power grid managed by a power grid operator. The set comprises a first electrical power resource with a first electrical power response frequency an ...

Model-based predictive control methods for distributed energy resources in smart grids

Luca Fabietti

This thesis develops optimization-based techniques for the control of distributed energy resources to provide multiple services to the power network. It is divided into three parts. The first part of this thesis focuses on the development of a framework f ...

An ADMM-Based Coordination and Control Strategy for PV and Storage to Dispatch Stochastic Prosumers: Theory and Experimental Validation

Mario Paolone, Colin Neil Jones, Fabrizio Sossan, Rahul Kumar Gupta, Emil Namor, Enrica Scolari, Luca Fabietti

This paper describes a two-layer control and coordination framework for distributed energy resources. The lower layer is a real-time model predictive control (MPC) executed at 10 s resolution to achieve fine tuning of a given energy setpoint. The upper lay ...

Enhancing the dispatchability of distribution networks through utility-scale batteries and flexible demand

Mario Paolone, Colin Neil Jones, Fabrizio Sossan, Emil Namor, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Luca Fabietti

In this paper, the problem of dispatching the operation of a distribution feeder comprising a set of heterogeneous resources is investigated. The main objective is to track a power trajectory, called the dispatch plan, which is computed the day before the ...

Experimental Implementation of Frequency Regulation Service Using Commercial Buildings

Colin Neil Jones, Ioannis Lymperopoulos, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Faran Ahmed Qureshi, Luca Fabietti, Altug Bitlislioglu

Frequency control reserves are a fundamental mechanism in the current electric power system to preserve the balance between demand and generation of active power at all times. The traditional approach is to exploit conventional power plants for frequency r ...

Multi-time scale coordination of complementary resources for the provision of ancillary services

Colin Neil Jones, Luca Fabietti, Christophe Salzmann, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Faran Ahmed Qureshi

This paper presents a predictive control scheme for coordinating a set of heterogeneous and complementary resources at different time scales for the provision of ancillary services. In particular, we combine building thermodynamics (slow), and energy stora ...

Experimental Demonstration of Buildings Providing Frequency Regulation Services in the Swiss Market

Colin Neil Jones, Luca Fabietti, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Faran Ahmed Qureshi

This paper investigates the potential of commercial buildings to offer ancillary services to the grid. We consider a tracking procurement inspired by secondary frequency control, where the resource needs to commit to a nominal consumption profile ahead of ...

Dispatching active distribution networks through electrochemical storage systems and demand side management

Mario Paolone, Colin Neil Jones, Fabrizio Sossan, Emil Namor, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Luca Fabietti

In this paper, the problem of dispatching the operation of a distribution feeder comprising a set of heterogeneous resources is investigated. In particular, the main objective is to track a 5-minute resolution trajectory, called the \textit{dispatch plan} ...

Stochastic MPC for Controlling the Average Constraint Violation for Periodic Linear System with Additive Disturbance

Colin Neil Jones, Luca Fabietti

This paper deals with stochastic model predictive control of constrained discrete-time periodic linear systems. Control inputs are subject to periodically time-varying polytopic constraints with possibly time-dependent state and input dimensions. A stochas ...
