• Presentation a stochastic scheduling framework for virtual power plant (VPP). Formulation of bi-level model from viewpoint VPP and electric vehicles (EVs). Investigation the effect EVs' travel patterns on decision making VPP. self-sufficiency factor under competitive conditions. This paper presents risk-averse short-term plants (VPPs) in environment considering potential activating (EVs) smar...

In recent years, the penetration of Renewable energy sources (RES) has increased considerably in power systems. Besides, fossil fuel vehicles are gradually replaced with electric ones. Increasing RES on supply side and Plug-in (PEVs) demand side, intermittency system increases. This paper proposes a novel structure for Virtual storage plants (VSP) to integrate potentials PEVs into The suggested...

Household electricity use has an increasing impact on the overall energy system. Numerous proposals have been made to support households consume in a system-friendlier manner. By breaking these down into functions and how they are performed, this paper identifies four distinctive governance designs: communities, variable tariffs, local markets virtual power plants. None covers all required each...

The Photovoltaic (PV) plants are significantly different from the conventional synchronous generators in terms of physical and electrical characteristics, as it connects to the power grid through the voltage-source converters. High penetration PV in power system will bring several critical challenges to the safe operation of power grid including transient stability. To address this problem, the...

In this paper, we describe how we have integrated Steve, an intelligent tutor based on Soar, and HeSPI, a human simulation tool for planning and simulating maintenance tasks in nuclear power plants. The objectives of this integration were to test Steve’s flexibility to be used in different applications and environments and to extend HeSPI to use it as a virtual environment for training. We disc...

Future infrastructures for energy, traffic, and computing will be virtualized: they will consist of decentralized, self-organizing, dynamically adaptive, and open collections of physical resources such as virtual power plants or computing clouds. Challenges to software dependability, in particular software security will be enormous. We use the example of smart power meters to discuss advanced t...

Large-scale deployment of renewables in island energy systems attracts local attention of grid operators as a way of reducing fuel fossil consumption. Planning a grid based on renewable power plants poses serious challenges to the normal operation of a power system, namely on frequency and voltage stability. In past grid code compliance, wind turbines did not require services for supporting gri...
