A systems approche to regional energy Modeling with smart grid integrated distributed energy resources

Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie

We provide an introduction to ETEM-SG, a robust linear programming approach specifically designed for regional energy systems analysis. This model can be used to provide prospective analyses of the long-term (30 years and more) evolution of multi-energy re ...

Exact Convex Modeling of the Optimal Power Flow for the Operation and Planning of Active Distribution Networks with Energy Storage Systems

Mostafa Nick

The distribution networks are experiencing important changes driven by the massive integration of renewable energy conversion systems. However, the lack of direct controllability of the Distributed Generations (DGs) supplying Active Distribution Networks ( ...

A unified control strategy for active distribution networks via demand response and distributed energy storage systems

Konstantina Christakou

As part of the transition to a future power grid, distribution systems are undergoing profound changes evolving into Active Distribution Networks (ADNs). The presence of dispersed generation, local storage systems and responsive loads in these systems incu ...

Load Leveling and Dispatchability of a Medium Voltage Active Feeder through Battery Energy Storage Systems: Formulation of the Control Problem and Experimental Validation

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Emil Namor

This paper proposes and experimentally validates a control algorithm for a grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) to level the consumption of a group of prosumers and dispatch their aggregated operation. The control strategy is layered in a tw ...

Attribution Mechanisms for Ancillary Service Costs Induced by Variability in Power Delivery

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Dan-Cristian Tomozei, Nicolas Gabriel Gast

The increased penetration of renewable energy sources in existing power systems has led to necessary developments in electricity market mechanisms. Most importantly, renewable energy generation is increasingly made accountable for deviations between schedu ...

Coherent promotion of renewables under a carbon emissions cap

Philippe Thalmann

The German energy transition, with its massive subsidization of variable renewable electricity generation (wind, solar, etc.) leading to its dramatic expansion, has spurred controversy proportional to its ambitions. This chapter focuses on just one critiqu ...

Dead time and non-linearities compensation for CHB multi-level converters with integrated ESS feeding EV’s ultra-fast charging stations

Alfred Rufer

This paper deals with a compensation technique for non-linear behaviour of single phase modular multi-level power converter, feeding electric vehicle fast charging station with split integrated energy storage system. The proposed method calculates the volt ...

Linking electricity prices and costs in bottom-up top-down coupling under changing market environments

Sophie Maire

Electricity market liberalization is altering pricing mechanisms in wholesale electricity markets, which will affect the effectiveness of climate and energy policies. Models used to simulate such policies must be responsive to pricing rules. We show how th ...
