Electric vehicle grid integration (EVGI) is one of the most important parts transportation electrification. However, large-scale EV charging/discharging can have an adverse effect on distribution grid, due to a large amount load being drawn from or fed back power grid. Additionally, electronics used in interaction may impose additional complications, such as voltage and frequency deviation, har...

BACKGROUND Recent declines in the provision of prenatal care by family physicians and the integration of midwives into the Canadian health care system have led to a shift in the pattern of prenatal care provision; however it is unknown if this also impacts use of other health services during pregnancy. This study aimed to assess the impact of the type of prenatal care provider on the self-repor...

Provide a methodology to simulate the financial response of multiple participants of a two sided auction including reliability, substitutes, and other ancillary services. Methodology would provide justification for generation and customer equipment as required for system expansion with an optimal portfolio of equipment to maximize system operation at a specified level of reliability. Research S...

Variable renewable energy (VRE) is not yet meaningfully participating in U.S. ancillary services (AS) markets. VRE participation AS markets could provide a new source of revenue for resource owners to offset declining and capacity values tool power system operators address emerging constraints. This paper uses price-taker dispatch model historical prices estimate the economic value standalone h...

Air-conditioning loads (ACLs) are among the most promising demand side resources for their thermal storage capacity and fast response potential. This paper adopts the principle of market-based control (MBC) for the ACLs to participate in the ancillary services. The MBC method is suitable for the control of distributed ACLs because it can satisfy diversified requirements, reduce the communicatio...
