The potential role of energy storage as flexible resource to help meet the challenging and environmental targets is well recognized. It can provide both steady-state dynamic support power networks. A Virtual Storage Plant (VSP) an aggregation heterogeneous units that act a single device system-level support. This paper introduces innovative scalable hierarchical control framework for optimal co...

ANCILLARY services such as frequency regulation are required for reliable operation of the electric grid. Currently, the same traditional thermal generators that supply bulk power also perform nearly all frequency regulation. Instead, using high power energy storage resources to provide frequency regulation can allow traditional thermal generators to operate more smoothly. However, using energy...

The hybrid AC-DC microgrid (HMG) architecture has the merits of both DC and AC coupled structures. Microgrids are subject to intermittence when the renewable sources are used. In the HMG, since power fluctuations occur on both subgrids due to varying load and unpredictable power generation from renewable sources, proper voltage and frequency regulation is the critical issue. This article propos...
