Addressing the growing concerns of climate change necessitates the decarbonisation of
energy sectors globally. Heating is the largest energy end-use, accounting for almost half of …

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) in power systems intensifies
the need of enhancing the flexibility in grid operations in order to accommodate the …

The amount of CO emitted per kilowatt-hour on an electricity grid varies by time of day and
substantially varies by location due to the types of generation. Networked collections of …

In this paper, we study the performance of various deep reinforcement learning algorithms to
enhance the energy management system of a microgrid. We propose a novel microgrid …

Smart grids are electric networks that employ advanced monitoring, control, and
communication technologies to deliver reliable and secure energy supply, enhance …

The virtual power plant (VPP) provides an efficient way to manage a bunch of distributed
energy resources (DERs). In order to participate in the system operation and power market …

This paper investigates heat pump systems in smart grids, focussing on fields of application
and control approaches that have emerged in academic literature. Based on a review of …

Abstract Distributed energy resources (“DERs”) are being adopted throughout the world.
Aggregators are lauded by some as critical in enabling DERs to provide these valuable …

Aggregations of electric loads can provide reserves to power systems, but their available
reserve capacities are time-varying and not perfectly known when the system operator …

Transactive control is a type of distributed control strategy that uses market mechanisms to
engage self-interested responsive loads to achieve power balance in the electrical power …
