The increased penetration of renewable energy sources has prompted the integration of
battery energy storage systems in active distribution networks. The energy storage systems …

Large-scale wind and solar power integration are likely to cause a short-term mismatch
between generation and load demand because of the intermittent nature of the renewables …

The proliferation of renewable energy sources distributed generation (RES-DG) into the grid
results in time-varying inertia constant. To ensure the security of the grid under varying …

Load side participation can provide valuable support to the power network in case of
urgencies. On many occasions, loads are naturally represented by on and off states …

We study the problem of decentralized secondary frequency regulation in power networks
where ancillary services are provided via on-off load-side participation. We initially consider …

The problem of decentralized frequency control in power networks has received an
increasing attention in recent years due to its significance in modern power systems and …

Thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) can provide ancillary services to the power network
by aiding existing frequency-control mechanisms. TCLs are, however, characterized by an …

We consider the problem of distributed secondary frequency regulation such that stability
and an economically optimal allocation are attained. We study an arbitrarily connected …

We consider the problem of controlling thermostatic loads such that ancillary services are
provided to the power network within the secondary frequency control timeframe. This …

Load side participation can provide support to the power network by appropriately adapting
the demand when required. In addition, it may allow for an economically improved power …
