Virtual Energy Storage System for Smart Grids

This paper forms a Virtual Energy Storage System (VESS) and validates that VESS is a cost-effective way to provide the function of energy storage through the utilization of the present network assets represented by flexible demand. As a solution to convert to low carbon cities, a VESS is firstly modelled to store and release energy in response to regulation signals by coordinating the demand re...

Development and Performance Analysis of Multifunctional City Smart Card System

In recent years, several smart card solutions for transportation services of cities with different technical infrastructures and business models has emerged considerably, which triggers new business and technical opportunities. In order to create a unique system, we present a novel, promising system called Multifunctional City Smart Card System to be used in all cities that provides transportat...

Smart Grids

Smart - Grids

We build a system dynamics model to evaluate the potential dynamics of consumer adoption of “Smart Energy Behaviour”. Within this term we include different levels of: i) shift in electricity consumption towards less costly-less polluting and congestioning hours; ii) the reduction of mainly wasteful electricity consumption, that maintains similar levels of comfort; iii) the enrolment in demand r...
