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...

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,...

The number of prosumers -consumers equipped with decentralized production- is expected to increase following the revised Renewable Energy Directive (2018/2001) and the rising energy prices. The economic literature suggests there is room for demand-side storage that can take two forms:...

This research paper presents a novel approach for fault-tolerant Wireless Sensor Networks (FT-WSNs) designed for IoT applications. The approach addresses obstacle detection challenges in WSNs to ensure uninterrupted network operation and optimize energy consumption. A hexagonal topology...

With rapid advances in digitization, many critical processes in transportation, industries, and our daily life rely on measurements of sensors. With time, however, the measurements of sensors may get gradually biased and their precision deteriorates, leading to an enhanced risk of major...

Recently, the Indian Prime Minister Appeals to switch off the Light by people during the corona outbreak for 9 min. It also provides a significant challenge to the Indian power grid. A small malfunction of the power system may lead to a huge disaster that may worsen the daily activity of the 100...

This paper uses a whole-system approach to examine different strategies related to the future role of the gas grid in a low-carbon heat system. A novel model of integrated gas, electricity and heat systems, HEGIT, is used to investigate four key sets of scenarios for the future of the gas grid...
