The intermittent nature of the renewable energies increases the operation costs of conventional generators. As the share of energy supplied by renewable sources increases, these costs also increase. In this paper, we quantify these costs by developing a market clearing price of energy in the presence of renewable energy and congestion constraints. We consider an electricity market where generat...

the share of dc-based renewable energy resources (rers) and electricity storage systems are increasing due to developments of smart grid technologies. moreover, the share of dc-based load has rapid growth due to significant developments of power electronic technologies. therefore, a more flexible power system is required for efficient integration of emerging loads and generators. in this paper,...

The uncertainty and variability in electricity market price (EMP) signals and players’ behavior, as well as in renewable power generation, especially wind power, pose considerable challenges. Hence, enhancement of forecasting approaches is required for all electricity market players to deal with the non-stationary and stochastic nature of such time series, making it possible to accurately suppo...

Lack of access to energy is considered as a serious bottleneck for the socio-economic development of Bangladesh. Despite earning recognition for promoting solar home systems, most of the rural areas and remote islands of the country still remain non-electrified due to very high unit cost and low quality of electricity from solar home systems (SHS) coupled with only few hours of restricted usage...

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles raises important challenges related to the operation of electricity grids. For instance, the amount of power generated by wind turbines is time-varying and dependent on the weather, which makes it hard to match flexible electric vehicle demand and uncertain wind power supply. In this paper we propose a vehicle aggregat...

Renewable electricity development has taken different paths across countries. With few exceptions, the recent literature has focused on different policy frameworks for renewable energy development, for example, the differences between feed-in tariffs (FIT) and renewable portfolio standards (RPS). This study brings politics back in to the study of renewable energies. Feed-in tariffs, renewable p...

This paper ascertains which state policies are accelerating deployment of nonhydropower renewable electricity generation capacity into a states electric power industry. A state fixed-effects model is used to simultaneously estimate the effects of multiple state policies in all fifty states. As would be expected, policies that lead to significant increases in actual renewable capacity in that st...

This report proposed a genetic algorithm (GA) based stochastic optimization method for gridconnected residential renewable energy (solar/wind) system layout design and module selection. With the customer input of housing location, electricity demand, default system input of location-specified historical weather data, PV/inverter/turbine module database, forecast model for electricity retail/who...

Heating, electricity and transportation are the three components of urban systems final energy consumption. Geothermal energy and biomass are two promising renewable energy resources that can be used for the production of heat, electricity and biofuels, thus allowing a reduction of fossil fuel consumption and of the associated greenhouse gas emissions. The goal of this paper is to assess the po...
