Risk-Aware Operating Regions for PV-Rich Distribution Networks Considering Irradiance Variability

This article proposes a framework to identify, visualize, and quantify risk of potential over/under voltage due to annual energy consumption and PV generation growth. The stochastic modeling considers the following: (i) Active and reactive power profiles for distribution transformers, dependent on annual energy consumption and activity in the...

Community energy storage operation via reinforcement learning with eligibility traces

The operation of a community energy storage system (CESS) is challenging due to the volatility of photovoltaic distributed generation, electricity consumption, and energy prices. Selecting the optimal CESS setpoints during the day is a sequential decision problem under uncertainty, which can be solved using dynamic learning methods. This...
