A multi-objective control for grid interfaced PV- BES based pico hydro system having multi mode operation is dealt in this work. The pico hydro system comprises of a PMSG driven by a DC motor, which emulates the function of an uncontrolled hydro turbine. This system utilizes only one VSC which...

In order to solve the problem of grid voltage fluctuations in multi-energy systems. This paper proposes a coordinated optimization control method based on battery electric storage, heat storage, and gas storage. Firstly, analyzing the different operating modes of electricity, heat, and gas in...

This paper applies bio-inspired optimization techniques to the interconnection planning of offshore wind farms. More specifically, the Bat Algorithm and the Grey Wolf Optimizer are applied to solve the problem. Reliability and economic criteria related to wind farms are considered. The study is...

A smart grid is an electrical grid which includes a variety of operation and energy measures including smart meters, smart appliances, renewable energy resources, and energy efficient resources. Electronic power conditioning and control of the production and distribution of electricity are...

This paper develops a bi-level optimization model for voluntary demand-side flexibility. The Distribution System Operator, in the Upper Level, maximizes welfare by investing in the network and setting the flexibility compensation. Consumers, in the Lower Level, can be prosumers and commercial...

This articles presents a new series of maps showing the climate and environmental variability of Botswana. Situated in southern Africa, Botswana has an arid to semi-arid climate, which significantly varies in its different regions: Kalahari Desert, Makgadikgadi Pan and Okavango Delta. While...

This task provides network clustering strategies and cluster header preference in wireless sensor networks to increase the efficiency of the link pool over its lifetime. The routing rule set is used to cluster wireless sensors in the community, using the leaching protocol as a benchmark. This...

The heterogeneous and decentralized nature of renewable energy sources is too much to handle for traditional and centralized IT grid infrastructure. Blockchain technology can address many of the associated challenges. This paper provides an overview of the state-of-the-art technology layers of...

Recent legislative reforms enacted in several states grant incumbent utilities a right-of-first-refusal (ROFR) over new electric power transmission lines. Regional grid planners, who typically defer to state law, often avoid running competitive solicitations for regional transmission projects...
