The past decade has seen advancements in renewable energy technology, making even smaller solar and wind installations at residential level an economically viable option. Hence, large amounts of distributed energy sources (DERs) with high penetration of renewables will form a key component of an urban energy grid. This not only reduces the inertia of the system but also injects large unpredicta...

India’s national missions to advance demand-side management and DERs such as, the Enhanced Energy Efficiency, Smart Grid, Wind and Solar Energy, Electric Mobility, etc., provide a pathway for sustainable developments. With these national missions, India is relying on large targets of 175 GW of renewable energy generation by 2022, which comprises of 100 GW Solar, 60 GW Wind, 10 GW Biomass, and 5...

When several microgrids (MG) are interconnected into microgrid clusters (MGC), they have great potential to improve their reliability. Traditional droop control tends to make the total operating costs higher as the power is distributed by capacity ratios of distributed energy resources (DERs). This paper proposes an adaptive distributed economic control for islanded microgrids which considers l...

With global conventional energy depletion, as well as environmental pollution, utilizing renewable energy for power supply is the only way for human beings to survive. Currently, distributed generation incorporated into a distribution network has become the new trend, with the advantages of controllability, flexibility and tremendous potential. However, the fluctuation of distributed energy res...

DC loads (such as computers, data centres, electric vehicle chargers, and LED lamps) and dc distributed energy resources (such as fuel cells, solar photovoltaics, and energy storages) are rapidly growing in electric power systems, so dc systems are being introduced as emerging practical investment solutions compared to traditional ac options. DC microgrids offer several advantages such as the e...

Classic unit commitment (UC) is an important and exciting task of distributing generated power among the committed units subject to several constraints over a scheduled time horizon to obtain the minimum generation cost. Large integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) in modern power system makes generation planning more complex. This paper presents the individual and collective impact...

The irregularity and randomness of distributed energy sources’ (DERs) output power characteristic usually brings difficulties for grid analysis. In order to reliably and deterministically evaluate intermittent distributed generation’s active power output, a credible capacity index for active distribution network (ADN) is proposed. According to the definition, it is a certain interval that the s...

In this paper, we present a conceptual study on a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) architecture for the optimal management of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) owned by prosumers participating in Demand-Side Management (DSM) programs. Compared to classical VPP architectures, which aim to aggregate several DERs dispersed throughout the electrical grid, in the proposed VPP architecture the supervised ...
