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...

Recently, multi-agent systems (MASs) have got attention due to consideration of distributed optimization and control in blockchain (BC) based energy trading applications. However, due to the dynamic behavior of uncertain and random variables, the coordination and control of MAS is still di cult...

Solving dynamic economic models that capture salient real-world heterogeneity and non-linearity requires the approximation of high-dimensional functions. As their dimensionality increases, compute time and storage requirements grow exponentially. Sparse grids alleviate this curse of...

This conceptual article seeks to integrate blockchain into current theory on the governance of inter-organizational exchanges within business networks. It is posited that a blockchain governance structure comprised of administrative, platform, and application level mechanisms represents a...

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...
