The number of electric cars, vans, trucks and buses on the world's roads is rapidly increasing, with a larger variety of electric vehicle (EV) models commercially available. Nevertheless, typical users still have concerns when comparing them to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, such as...

As climate change sharpens the focus on our electricity systems, there is widespread agreement that the institutions that govern our electric grid must change to realize a clean energy future in the timescale necessary. Scholars are actively debating how grid governance needs to change, but in...

This paper addresses the issue of optimal day-ahead scheduling of a plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) aggregator that participates in the electricity market and offers an out-of-market balancing service to the local renewable power penetrated distribution system in a snow-prone area. The proposed...

The ground handling operations are used in airports for handling activities and processing passengers with the help of specially designed vehicles known as ground support equipment. The ground support equipment (GSE) is being parked after serving a flight until the next flight. The GSE idle...

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...

This paper explores the price setting of demand-side flexibility, modelled as consumers’ voluntary load reduction, in distribution grids. It develops a long-term equilibrium optimization model with a bi-level setting for voluntary demand-side flexibility. In the Upper Level (UL), the...
