Adopting electric vehicles (EVs) and implementing variable electricity tariffs increase peak demand and the risk of congestion in distribution grids. To avert critical grid situations and sidestep expensive grid expansions, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) must have intervention rights,...

Can mini grids help to solve the problem of poorly served main grid connected communities A mini grid is an electricity generation and distribution network that supplies electricity to a localized group of customers. Mini grids can be isolated from or connected to the main grid. To date, most...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely utilized in various applications due to their compact size, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment. Nonetheless, one of the biggest problems in WSNs is getting a reasonable estimate of the average location error of a node at the setup in the least...

The ongoing transformation towards a sector-coupled energy system based on renewable generation leads to more complex grid-based energy system models. It is a crucial task to reduce the models' complexities in order to keep optimisation problems tractable while at the same time generating...
