With high penetration of renewable generation and distributed energy resources, distribution
systems are facing new operational challenges due to their intermittency and uncertainty. To …

The last few decades have seen renewable energy source (RES) integration growing at a
rapid pace and this trend is likely to continue. The displacement of conventional …

This paper presents a hierarchical control framework for implementing primary frequency
regulation (PFR) by using residential heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) …

In this paper, an integrated optimal scheduling and predictive control scheme with a
hierarchical structure is proposed for energy management of an urban complex (UC). The …

Frequency regulation is an increasingly important task in the presence of intermittent
renewable generation and growing loads in the distribution energy systems. Some of the …

Most governments are applying financial instruments and other polices to encourage
distributed renewable electricity generation (DREG). DREG is less predictable and more …

The high penetration combined with the intermittent nature of large-scale distributed
generation challenges the stability of power systems. Recently, it has been proposed that …

Coupling the electricity and heating systems introduce opportunities to handle the
intermittent nature of an increasing share of renewable power generation. Coordination of …

This paper proposes a model of the thermal dynamics and of the end-use of domestic
refrigerators (fridges) and water heaters (boilers) in the foretasted scenario of the Sardinian …

This paper summarizes the results of a power system stability analysis realized for the EU
project OSMOSE. The case study is the electrical network of Sicily, one of the two main …
