Microgrids (MGs) contain a diverse mix of energy resources to provide safe and secure power to the consumers. Batteries are utilized in MGs for further energy security assurance as well as cost minimization. In this paper, an efficient approach is introduced for simultaneous energy management and optimal battery sizing to accomplish economic MG operation. Also, demand response programs are empl...

The concept of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system was introduced in the late sixties and subsequently the Energy Management System (EMS) solution with set of functionalities that relied on SCADA data was introduced in the seventies. This EMS design was based on the notion that power system goes through distinct states such as normal, alert, emergency and restorative, and he...

Abstract: A single-objective optimization energy management strategy (EMS) for an onboard hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for light rail (LR) vehicles is proposed. TheHESS uses batteries and supercapacitors (SCs). The main objective of the proposed optimization is to reduce the battery and SC losses while maintaining the SC state of charge (SOC) within specific limits based on the distance ...

DESPITE THE OVERWHELMING satisfaction utilities report in implementing pioneer expert systems in energy-management systems, the number of actual implementations of such systems in control centers remains quite small compared to the number of systems successfully demonstrated in prototype form.1–3 This discrepancy suggests that utilities have unanswered concerns about the cost and difficulty of ...

| Based on a recently developed security assessment methodology using automatic training data generation software and neural networks, a composite security boundary visualization approach is proposed for power system operations. This approach can draw a single continuous boundary given multiple individual security problems. It can be conveniently accessed on-line and can be easily integrated in...

Abstract:This paper presents the planning of an optimal Energy Management System (EMS) supported by a fuzzy logic Controller (FLC) for a residential grid-connected micro grid with hybrid renewable generation (Wind & Photo Voltaic) and storage system. Modelling hybrid system includes Renewable Energy Sources given at intermittent supply conditions and dynamic energy demand, and to make conceptua...

Environmental management system (EMS) comprises of management practices that helps an organization to assess their level of efficiencies in meeting the environmental responsibilities. EMS involves listing of all environmental legislations, all environmental effects associated with activities, setting targets, keeping appropriate records and undertaking regular reviews of organization for sound ...

This paper presents the development of the distributed processing based Security Constrained Optimal Power Flow (SCOPF) and its integration to a Distributed Shared Memory Energy Management System (EMS) in order to enable real time power systems security control. The optimization problem is solved by the Interior Points Method and the security constraints are considered by the use of Benders Dec...
