electricity price predictions have become a major discussion on competitive market under deregulated power system. but, the exclusive characteristics of electricity price such as non-linearity, non-stationary and time-varying volatility structure present several challenges for this task. in this paper, a new forecast strategy based on the iterative neural network is proposed for day-ahead price...

one of the big concerns of big cities is facing with the increase of fossil fuel vehicles in the roads. the cars intensify greenhouse gas emission in civic centers. one approach to reduce the emission is replacing the cars by plug-in electric vehicles (pevs). in spite of reducing the emission, pevs have some adverse effect on electric distribution networks. technical challenges such as load and...

In the current economic, resource and carbon constrained climate, it is imperative that power distribution companies invest in only necessary network augmentation. However, with electricity demand growth over recent years doubling the electricity consumption growth, capital expenditure is following in a similar fashion relative to operational expenditure [1]. The need for greater infrastructure...

Micro CHP, installed in individual homes, will in time remove a substantial electricity demand on a dynamic basis at the low voltage level, and may, in some instances, neutralise or even reverse the power flows in distribution transformers. This will clearly have economic consequences for the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) in terms of lost revenue, but will also have profound consequences ...

with the aim of reducing cost of electricity consumption and peak load reduction, tools requirement for better managing electricity consumption have become inevitable in recent years. smart home has some equipment which are controllable and this ability is used for increasing comfort and minimizing electricity cost for residence. as a key component of smart home , electric vehicle(ev) ,increase...

The introduction of distributed energy resources (DER) is leading to significant changes in the way in which power systems are planned, operated and maintained. DER includes many different types of technology, ranging from producers of electricity such as microgeneration units to consumers of electricity such as heat pumps and electric vehicles. High penetrations of these new technologies are i...

Recent years have seen an unprecedented increase in the adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution networks around the world. In most jurisdictions the increase in DERs has been met with a "fit and forget" network management approach whereby grid planners accommodate these resources by expanding the capacity of the network with conventional technologies. However, the contin...

the increasing consumption of electricity in iran is one of the greatest concerns of the government. using the subsidy-based pricing system is one of the main reasons of improper pattern of residential electricity consumption that has imposed great cost over the government due to the increased number of consumers and their improper way of consuming electricity. in this paper, we analyze the fac...

In many cases grid extension is often highly costly and unlikely to happen – even in the mediumto long-term. In these scenarios, mini-grids (MG) could provide an ideal intermediary solution, especially for small towns or large villages where enough electricity can be generated to power household use, as well as local businesses. MGs provide centralized electricity generation at local level usin...
