Fully Flexible Loads in Distributed Energy Management: PV, Batteries, Loads, and Value Stacking in Virtual Power Plants

Maximizing Local Pv Utilization Using Small-scale Batteries and Flexible Thermal Loads

High PV utilization ratios in buildings, i.e. the consumption of most of the PV energy within the building premises, can reduce the energy losses in distribution networks, and mitigate overvoltages and transformer overloadings. For this reason, some countries have adopted, or are discussing, regulatory instruments to motivate local utilization of PV energy. In this paper, we investigate the pot...

Optimal Power Management Strategy for Energy Storage with Stochastic Loads

In this paper, a power management strategy (PMS) has been developed for the control of energy storage in a system subjected to loads of random duration. The PMS minimises the costs associated with the energy consumption of specific systems powered by a primary energy source and equipped with energy storage, under the assumption that the statistical distribution of load durations is known. By in...

Optimal energy management of the photovoltaic based distribution networks considering price responsive loads, energy storage systems and convex power flows.

Nowadays, presence of photovoltaic systems in distribution network is not without challenge and it may not have economic productivity for the system under the lack of optimal management. Energy storage systems are able to cope with this problem. Therefore, in this paper, a new method is proposed for energy management of the distribution networks in order to show that how presence of the energy ...

Cooperatives of distributed energy resources for efficient virtual power plants

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...
