In recent years, microgrids have developed as important parts of power systems and have provided affordable, reliable, and sustainable supplies of electricity. Each microgrid is managed as a single controllable entity with respect to the existing power system but demands for joint operation and...

Combined heat and power (CHP) is a promising technology that can contribute to energy efficiency and environmental protection. More CHP-based energy systems are planned for the future. This makes the evaluation and selection of CHP systems very important. In this paper, 16 CHP units representing...

This paper proposes a novel event-based simulation model for assessing the explicit demand response potential of electric vehicle (EV) charging networks. The model utilizes multivariate copulas in generation of realistic artificial charging events that retain the complex dependency structures...

Mini-grids are growing in popularity as a viable solution to energy poverty in rural, hard to reach areas consisting of Bottom-of-the-Pyramid (BoP) markets. Social enterprises are starting to play a vital role in providing services to this neglected customer group but often face difficulties...
