Review on Vehicle-to-Grid Systems: The Most Recent Trends and Smart Grid Interaction Technologies

Distribution Grid Planning Considering Smart Grid Technologies

Connection of distributed generation (DG) units, energy storages, and new loads into low voltage (LV) grids leads to a constrained operation of the grids. Consequently, voltage limits violation and overloading of grid assets occur more frequently. To tackle these issues, distribution system operators (DSO) still employ traditional techniques in planning distribution grids to increase grid hosti...

Comparison of Vehicle-to-Grid versus Other Grid Support Technologies

Smart Grid Technologies: Communications Technologies and Standards

For a hundred years, there has been no change in the basic structure of the electrical power grid. Experiences have shown that the hierarchical, centrally-controlled grid of the twentieth century is ill-suited to the needs of the twenty-first. To address the challenges of the existing power grid, the new concept of smart grid has emerged. The smart grid can be considered as a modern electric po...

A Systems Approach to the Smart Grid

This paper presents the case for using a systems approach to analyse the requirements and behaviours of the Smart Grid as well as designing relevant solutions. By linking systems thinking to agent-based modelling, we discuss how a Smart Grid can be modelled as Multi-Agent Systems by reviewing some related state-of-the-art research. This paper goes on to outline two research areas that we are de...
