Bidirectional electrical conversion: the first step towards smart energy gates
(AIM, 2018-06-07)Microgrids and local energy communities require new electricity management strategies. Such strategies involve smart energy gates consisting of bidirectional electrical converters. Such converters have been developed for ... -
The innovative role of local system operator as a facilitator of grid and community services in the local electricity market
(AIM, 2018-06-07)Local electricity markets offer attractive solutions to long pending grid challenges associated with grid balancing, power quality and supply security, particularly with increased introduction of distributed renewable ... -
A framework to evaluate microgrids & energy storage for increasing distribution system reliability
(AIM, 2018-06-07)Traditionally, distribution system reliability has been improved by adopting grid hardening measures and adding intelligence into the system. Grid hardening measures are in many cases the most effective solution but they ... -
High precision distribution grid monitoring system utilizing optical communication network
(AIM, 2018-06-07)In microgrid, the main power sources tend to be Distributed Energy Resources (DER), such as photovoltaic (PV) and wind power generations. PV and wind power generation output fluctuates continuously, and it makes power grid ... -
Dealing with Uncertainty in PV-powered Microgrids: An Optimal Corrective Approach
(AIM, 2018-06-07)With the aim of increasing the penetration of renewables in the energy matrix, microgrids could play a major role. However, microgrids powered by renewable energy sources bring along a higher level of uncertainty, derived ... -
Distributed Iterative Local Energy Bidding in Agent-based Microgrids
(AIM, 2018-06-07)This paper designs a new distributed iterative bidding mechanism for energy trading among microgrids (MGs) at the local level. The market is based on one consumer and multiple providers. When one MG as a consumer and other ... -
Validating the ELECTRA Web-of-Cell control concept – An overview of possible simulation environment enhancements
