Further Ahead with Electrochemical Energy Technology

Two-Stage Stochastic Day-Ahead Market Clearing in Gas and Power Networks Integrated with Wind Energy

The significant penetration rate of wind turbines in power systems made some challenges in the operation of the systems such as large-scale power fluctuations induced by wind farms. Gas-fired plants with fast starting ability and high ramping can better handle natural uncertainties of wind power compared to other traditional plants. Therefore, the integration of electrical and natural gas syste...

Day-ahead energy management of a microgrid with renewable energy resources and CHP units, considering demand response

Global warming, environmental pollution, fossil resources reduction, the increased demand and price of energy carriers, and various international social and political consequences are among the problems of traditional energy generation and distribution system. In the traditional generation systems, about two-thirds of energy is wasted and the presence of scattered energy resources such as photo...

Energy and Reserve under Distributed Energy Resources Management—Day-Ahead, Hour-Ahead and Real-Time

The increasing penetration of distributed energy resources based on renewable energy sources in distribution systems leads to a more complex management of power systems. Consequently, ancillary services become even more important to maintain the system security and reliability. This paper proposes and evaluates a generic model for day-ahead, intraday (hour-ahead) and real-time scheduling, consi...

Smarter Storage Technology Ahead in 2010

D igital data has experienced explosive growth over the past few years and evidence suggests that this trend will continue. Whether it comes from camera phones, e-mail, or collaborative work projects, volumes of digital data are engulfing individuals’ personal and professional lives. To remain productive members of society, individuals must figure out where to put this data and how to make it u...
