Large-scale deployment of renewable energy resources, both utility-scale and distributed,
create reliability concerns for electrical power system operators. The weather-dependent …

Grid-edge distributed energy resources (DERs) present both operational challenges and
opportunities to distribution system operators (DSO). This paper presents a day-ahead …

Distributed Energy Resources (DER) participation in the conventional balancing market
operated centrally by the Transmission System Operator (TSO) presents challenges such as …

Exploitation of flexible consumption in the future smart grid requires new actors and
infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical setup in which a central controller, a …

Smart grid actors such as aggregators need scalable yet simple and powerful ways to
aggregate, optimize, and disaggregate large collections of flexible loads (eg, from heat …

A prominent feature of the future smart grid is the active participation of the consumer side in
ancillary service provision. Grid operators procure ancillary services, including regulating …

A predictive control using subspace identification is applied for the smart grid integration of
refrigeration systems under a direct load control scheme. A realistic demand response …

The increase of distributed energy resources in energy systems and current legislation
concerning the participation in energy markets, is causing a high wasted potential of energy …

As aggregators become viable sources of ancillary services, they will be required to undergo
a validation process similar to the prequalification process of traditional generators …

Currently the use of distributed energy resources, especially renewable generation, and
demand response programs are widely discussed in scientific contexts, since they are a …
