This paper proposes a hierarchical energy management system for multi-source multi-product (MSMP) microgrids. Traditional energy hub based scheduling method is combined with a hierarchical control structure to incorporate transient characteristics of natural gas flow and dynamics of energy...

A self-regulating distribution system simulation platform is presented for a smart-grid with Distributed Energy Resource (DER) wind power injection in which load flow fluctuations are controlled via self-regulating air-source heat pump (HP) cycling. The grid power injection fluctuations are...
