The drive toward sustainable development will be facilitated by the transition to smart cities relying on the interface and co-optimization of the cyber and physical layers modeling the Electricity Cyber Physical System (CPS). Increasing penetration of intermittent and volatile renewable energy sources connected at the transmission (e.g. wind farms) or the distribution networks (e.g. roof top P...

Wind power generation is gaining popularity as the power industry in the world is moving toward more liberalized trade of energy along with public concerns of more environmentally friendly mode of electricity generation. The weakness of wind power generation is its dependence on nature-the power output varies in quite a wide range due to the change of wind speed, which is difficult to model and...

The recent rapid uptake of residential solar photovoltaic (PV) installations provides many challenges for electricity distribution networks designed for one-way power flow from the distribution company to the residential customer. In particular, for grid-connected installations, intermittent generation as well as large amounts of generation during low load periods can lead to a degradation of p...

Attempts to generate electricity at a minimal cost or economic dispatch (ED) are a problem for many operators in the power industry. The activities involved are very complicated, evolves in time by unpredictable events. Currently the application of Artificial Intelligence methods in this industry has produced tremendous positive results. In this regard, this study developed Rivann software to p...

If latter part of the electricity supply chain including the LV network and customers is becoming more active. There can (EV) and other distributed energy resources (DER) connected to the grid and the customer can actively participate to the electricity market through resources. communities which are at least partly self terms of electric energy. This suggests microgrid (μG) operation. There ha...

Due to highly constrained ageing infrastructure, current electricity networks will not be able to handle an increased amount of generation; particularly that from intermittent renewable resources deployed within distribution networks. In order to efficiently control this increased generation, decentralised autonomous control is the only viable solution; due to the computational complexities tha...
