This paper surveys economic assessments of concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies
and finds two dominant assessment methods. A majority of studies reported in the literature …

Abstract The Unit Commitment problem in energy management aims at finding the optimal
production schedule of a set of generation units, while meeting various system-wide …

This paper proposes an optimal bidding strategy in the day-ahead market of a microgrid
consisting of intermittent distributed generation (DG), storage, dispatchable DG, and price …

We consider an energy management system that controls a cluster of price-responsive
demands. Besides these demands, it also manages a wind-power plant and an energy …

In this paper, a distributed robust energy management scheme for multiple interconnected
microgrids (MGs) is developed. It aims to optimize the total operational cost of the MGs …

With the increasing penetration of wind power into the power grid, maintaining system
reliability has been a challenging issue for ISOs/RTOs, due to the intermittent nature of wind …

This paper proposes a two-stage two-level model for the energy pricing and dispatch
problem faced by a smart grid retailer who plays the role of an intermediary agent between a …

This paper presents an adjustable robust optimization approach to account for the
uncertainty of renewable energy sources (RESs) in optimal power flow (OPF). It proposes an …

Distributed energy resources within local energy systems can be reorganized into a single
entity, namely, into an integrated community energy system. This integration provides …

Due to increasing penetration of intermittent renewable energy and introduction of demand
response programs, uncertainties occur in both supply and demand sides in real time for the …
