Estimating the benefits of policies that improve the reliability of the electricity grid is
challenging. This paper critically examines the Value of Lost Load (VoLL) literature and …

Current designs and assessments of microgrids have ignored component reliability, leading
to significant errors in predicting a microgrid's performance while islanded. Existing life cycle …

Transitioning from fossil-fuel power generation to renewable energy generation and energy
storage in remote locations has the potential to reduce both carbon emissions and cost. This …

This manuscript proposes to study different cases that require the use of renewable energies
in addition to diesel generators and energy storage systems with the aim of increasing the …

As utility electricity rates evolve, pairing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems with battery storage
has potential to ensure the value proposition of residential solar by mitigating economic …

Renewable energy technologies are becoming increasingly important due to their cost-
competitiveness, and because of enhanced climate concerns. We demonstrate the …

An open-source model was developed to optimize energy storage operation for photovoltaic-
(PV-) plus-battery systems with AC-coupled and DC-coupled configurations. It includes the …

This research paper presents a data-driven framework for design optimization of renewable
energy communities (RECs) in the residential sector, considering both techno-economic …

Widespread adoption of alternative fuel vehicles is being hindered by high vehicle costs and
refueling or range limitations. For plug-in electric vehicles, direct-current fast charging …

Recent increase in the number of natural disasters resulting in widespread, long-duration,
and costly outages have brought the energy system resilience to the forefront. As system …
