Probabilistic Peak Demand Matching by Battery Energy Storage Alongside Dynamic Thermal Ratings and Demand Response for Enhanced Network Reliability

Optimal Economic Operation and Battery Sizing for Microgrid Energy Management Systems Considering Demand Response

Microgrids (MGs) contain a diverse mix of energy resources to provide safe and secure power to the consumers. Batteries are utilized in MGs for further energy security assurance as well as cost minimization. In this paper, an efficient approach is introduced for simultaneous energy management and optimal battery sizing to accomplish economic MG operation. Also, demand response programs are empl...

A Real-Time Active Peak Demand Reduction for Battery Energy Storage with Limited Capacity

—Battery-based energy storage (BESS) has found to have potential and interest in reducing the peak demand. Over the years, a number of control strategies have been developed for BESS to reduce the peak demand. The control strategies are however complex and confined to simulation evaluation only. The control strategies are also not tested in BESS set-up with limited capacity. A simple and yet c...

Demand Response and Energy Storage for Zero Energy Residential Buildings

The EU climate and energy targets and the decreasing costs have been leading to a growing utilization of solar photovoltaic generation in residential buildings. However, even in buildings with the same level of yearly generation and consumption the mismatch between the demand and the photovoltaic generation profiles leads to high power flows between the household and the grid, which is an ineff...

Reducing Energy Costs and Peak Electrical Demand through Optimal Control of Building Thermal Storage

This paper describes an investigation into the use of building thermal capacitance as a means of reducing the operating costs associated with maintaining adequate comfort conditions in buildings (termed "dynamic building control"). The state of the building thermal storage can be controlled through variations of the zone temperatures over time within the thermal comfort region. The primary oppo...
