Future power networks are certain to have high penetrations of renewable distributed generation such as photovoltaics (PV). At times PV and low customer demand (e.g., summer), network voltage is likely rise beyond limits mandated by grid codes resulting in a curtailment generation, unless appropriate control means used. This leads reduction energy yield consequently reduces the economic viabili...

More active participation of the demand side and efficient integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as electric vehicles (trVs), energy storage (ES), and renewable energy sources (RESs) into the existing power systems are important design objectives of the future smart grid. In general, effective demand side management (DSM) would benefit both system operators (e.g., peak demand ...

Abstract Households’ energy-saving activities are often categorized into efficiency investment and curtailment action, which previous studies have analyzed separately, even though households use both activity types simultaneously. In this study, we develop an model based on a household production framework to show how these two related. Our predicts that uses energy action jointly not alternati...

A formidable challenge that hinders the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources is potential mismatch between their intermittent supply and fluctuating demand. This necessitates proper coordination to moderate temporal net load variations while reducing costly curtailment production. By capturing physical security constraints unbalanced distribution systems, this paper formulates a prob...

China has declared ambitious carbon emission reduction targets and will integrate increasing shares of variable renewables for the next decades. The implementation flexibility modification thermal power units deep peak regulation ancillary service market alleviates contradiction between rapid capacity growth limited system flexibility. This paper establishes three schemes two price rules simula...

Renewable energies curtailment induced by grid congestions increase due to grown renewable integration and the resulting mismatch of expansion. Short-term predictions for can help efficiency its management. This paper proposes a novel, holistic approach short-term prediction distribution grids. The load flow calculations congestion detection are realized taking different operational security cr...
