ADMM-Based Hierarchical Single-Loop Framework for EV Charging Scheduling Considering Power Flow Constraints
Sina Kiani

Hanane Dagdougui
This article presents a three-layer hierarchical distributed framework for optimal electric vehicle charging scheduling (EVCS). The proposed… (see more) hierarchical EVCS structure includes a distribution system operator (DSO) at the top layer, electric vehicle aggregators (EVAs) at the middle layer, and electric vehicles (EVs) charging stations at the bottom layer. A single-loop iterative algorithm is developed to solve the EVCS problem by combining the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) and the distribution line power flow model (DistFlow). Using the single-loop structure, the primal variables of all agents are updated simultaneously at every iteration resulting in a reduced number of iterations and faster convergence. The developed framework is employed to provide charging cost minimization at the EV charging stations level, peak load shaving at the EVAs level, and voltage regulation at the DSO level. In order to further improve the performance of the optimization framework, a neural network-based load forecasting model is implemented to include the uncertainties related to non-EV residential load demand. The efficiency and the optimality of the proposed EVCS framework are evaluated through numerical simulations, conducted for a modified IEEE 13 bus test feeder with different EV penetration levels.

Game Theoretical Formulation for Residential Community Microgrid via Mean Field Theory: Proof of Concept
Mohamad Aziz

Issmail ElHallaoui
Incentive-based demand response aggregators are widely recognized as a powerful strategy to increase the flexibility of residential communit… (see more)y MG (RCM) while allowing consumers’ assets to participate in the operation of the power system in critical peak times. RCM implementing demand response approaches are of high interest as collectively, they have a high impact on shaping the demand curve during peak time while providing a wide range of economic and technical benefits to consumers and utilities. The penetration of distributed energy resources such as battery energy storage and photovoltaic systems introduces additional flexibility to manage the community loads and increase revenue. This letter proposes a game theoretical formulation for an incentive-based residential community microgrid, where an incentive-based pricing mechanism is developed to encourage peak demand reduction and share the incentive demand curve with the residential community through the aggregator. The aggregator’s objective is to maximize the welfare of the residential community by finding the optimal community equilibrium electricity price. Each household communicates with each other and with the distributed system operator (DSO) through the aggregator and aims to minimize the local electricity cost.

Accurate solar irradiance forecasting is crucial for managing energy generation and consumption in the rapidly evolving landscape of renewab… (see more)le energy. It enables renewable energy operators to make informed decisions and maximize their output. This study employs deep learning-based forecasting models to predict the Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) of the R&D platform situated in Ouarzazate, Morocco. A sensitivity analysis was conducted on multiple scenarios for a one day-ahead horizon. Moreover, a forecasting technique that encompasses numerous horizons, ranging from one day to three days in advance, was evaluated. The study's findings suggest that the encoder-decoder model we proposed exhibited superior performance compared to the other models tested and produced dependable predictions.

In our changing energy landscape, electricity is taking a major role in achieving decarbonization goals. Electricity can be a clean and effi… (see more)cient source of energy, and it is well-suited to help countries meet their climate goals. However, the electrical market is complex and constantly evolving, and it is important to carefully choose the design elements of the market to ensure that it is meeting its objectives. In this context, evaluating an electrical market's effectiveness requires a multifaceted approach that takes into account a range of elements, from environmental impact to economic viability. This paper provides an overview of several evaluation methods for different objectives to finally select the key criteria to consider in assisting decision-makers, regulators, and stakeholders in developing an electricity market that is not only effective but also reliable and sustainable.
