The creation of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) has been suggested in recent years as the means for achieving the cost-efficient integration of the many distributed energy resources (DERs) that are starting to emerge in the electricity network. In this work, we contribute to the development of VPPs by offering a game-theoretic perspective to the problem. Specifically, we design cooperatives (or “co...

The dissertation studies the general area of complex networked systems that consist of interconnected and active heterogeneous components and usually operate in uncertain environments and with incomplete information. Problems associated with those systems are typically large-scale and computationally intractable, yet they are also very well-structured and have features that can be exploited by ...

The increasing penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and Generation (DG) means a paradigm change in planning operation power systems around the world. In order to understand circumvent possible challenges arising from growing energy injection at this grid level, new modeling analysis tools are required. This paper presents methodology for distribution resources system analysis. met...

The authors explored the utility of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) in assessing adolescents' emotion regulation. Adolescents (11-17 years; N = 870) completed the DERS and measures of externalizing and internalizing problems. Confirmatory factor analysis suggested a similar factor structure in the adolescent sample of the authors as demonstrated previously among adults. Furt...

The increasing proliferation of distributed energy resources has posed new challenges to Volt/VAr control problems in distribution networks. To this end, paper proposes an automatic self-adaptive local voltage (ASALVC) by locally controlling VAr outputs resources. In ASALVC strategy, each bus agent can and dynamically adjust its droop function accordance with time-varying system changes. is ass...

Distributed energy resources (DERs) installed at electric distribution networks create different opportunities and challenges for the system operator (DSO). By increasing penetration level of DERs, impacts these technologies are also sensed by transmission (TSO). The focus this paper is on investigating managing Electric Vehicle (EV) charging solar Photo-Voltaic (PV) generation considering TSO-...

Controllable distributed energy resources (DERs) in active distribution grids (ADGs) provide operational flexibility to system operators, thereby, offering the means address various challenges. Existing local controllers for these are communication-free, robust, and cheap, but with suboptimal performance compared centralized approaches that heavily rely on monitoring communication. Data-driven ...

Traditionally, the electric distribution system operates with uniform energy prices across all nodes. However, as adoption of distributed resources (DERs) propels a shift from passive to active network (ADN) operation, distribution-level electricity market has been proposed manage new complexities efficiently. In addition, locational marginal price (DLMP) established in literature primary prici...

The endeavour towards making power distribution systems (PDSs) smarter has made the interdependence on communication network indispensable. Further, prospective high penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources in form distributed resources (DERs) resulted necessity for smart controllers such DERs. Inverters are employed purpose DC to AC conversion where present standards require these ...
