The strengthening of electric energy security and the reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions have gained enormous momentum in previous decades. The integration of large …

Abstract In the Smart Grid context, the involvement of end-users is a key element for the
implementation of demand response, as a way to enhance the energy efficiency of the …

With a large-scale introduction of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), a new entity, the PEV fleet
aggregator, is expected to be responsible for managing the charging of, and for purchasing …

This paper develops a general framework for reliability assessment of multi-microgrid (MMG)
distribution systems. It also investigates reliability impacts of coordinated outage …

The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that are currently under
development for future smart grid systems can enable load aggregators to have bidirectional …

Constrained by low capacity and volatility, the rapid growth of distributed energy resources
are obviously slowdown resulting in consumption difficulty and investment obstacle. As an …

In this paper, a model predictive control (MPC) for the optimal power exchanges in a smart
network of power microgrids (MGs) is presented. The main purpose is to present an …

The combined heat and power (CHP) microgrid can work both effectively and efficiently to
provide electric and thermal power when an appropriate schedule and control strategy is …

Microgrids are subsystems of the distribution grid which comprises generation capacities,
storage devices and flexible loads, operating as a single controllable system either …

A model predictive control (MPC) based coordinated operation framework for a grid-
connected residential microgrid with considering forecast errors is presented in this paper …
