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

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.

A Two-Stage Optimization Framework for Electric Vehicle Fleet Day-ahead Charging Management
Arian Shah Kamrani
Hanane Dagdougui
Nowadays electric vehicles (EVs) have become one of the important means of transportation all over the world. The importance of EV owners’… (see more) privacy as well as smart EV fleet charging has always been one of the challenges in smart charging planning and management. Furthermore, in smart charging, the distribution system operator must also coordinate with EV aggregators to insure that the power system is operated within security limits while reducing charging costs and satisfying EV users’ energy needs. In this paper, a semi-private framework for EV owners has been introduced which solves a two-stage optimization problem for the smart control of EV charging. This framework considers charging cost reduction and peak load shaving as well as satisfying power grid constraints. At the higher stage, based on optimal power flow calculations, the proposed control signals are transferred to the lower stage in order to facilitate optimal scheduling in accordance with the mentioned goals. The obtained results based on the proposed optimal method implemented on the IEEE 33-bus network show that compared to uncontrolled charging, the cost of charging and the peak of the network are reduced by 5.31% and 4.90%, respectively. Moreover, all the constraints of the power grid are satisfied.

An Extended State Space Model for Aggregation of Large-Scale EVs Considering Fast Charging

This article presents an extended state space model for aggregation of large-scale electric vehicles (EVs) for frequency regulation and peak… (see more) load shaving in power systems. The proposed model systematically deals with the fast charging of EVs as an effective solution for immediate charging requirements. Furthermore, the proposed extended state space model increases the flexibility of the EV aggregator (EVA) by enabling the EVs to participate in ancillary services with both regular and fast charging/discharging rates. This will help the EVA to provide a prompt and efficient response to severe generation-consumption imbalances. A probabilistic control approach is developed which reduces the communication burden of the EVA. Furthermore, the uncertainties related to EV users' behavior are modeled in real-time. The simulations are conducted for a typical power system including a large population of EVs, a conventional generator (CG), and a wind generation system. It is shown that the proposed aggregation model can accurately describe the aggregated behavior of a large population of EVs enabling them to efficiently participate in frequency regulation and peak load shaving services. Finally, the performance of EVA is evaluated for different driving behaviors and state of charge (SOC) levels of the EV population.

Greenhouses are a key component of modernised agriculture, aiming for producing high-quality crops and plants. Furthermore, a network of gre… (see more)enhouses has enormous potential as part of demand response programs. Saving energy during off-peak time, reducing power consumption and delaying the start time of subsystems during on-peak time are some strategies that can be used to limit power exchanged with the main grid. In this work, a hierarchical distributed alternating direction method of multipliers-based model predictive control framework is proposed that has two main objectives: 1) providing appropriate conditions for greenhouses' crops and plants to grow, and 2) limiting the total power exchanged with the main grid. At each time step in the framework, an aggregator coordinates the greenhouses to reach a consensus and limit the total electric power exchanged while managing shared resources, e.g., reservoir water. The proposed framework's performance is investigated through a case study.
