Large-Scale Setpoint Tracking Controller for Co-regulation of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations: Coordinating Charging with Energy Market Dynamics

This research explores the feasibility of building a large-scale setpoint tracking controller for the co-regulation of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations, aiming to coordinate charging with energy market dynamics and minimize the error between a power setpoint and the aggregated consumption of charging stations while capitalizing on...

Electricity Markets for DC Distribution Systems: Locational Pricing Trumps Wholesale Pricing

DC distribution systems are a promising alternative to existing AC distribution systems. They connect customers to local energy sources without conversion, thus reducing power losses. However, the unique features of DC impose strict requirements for system operation compared to AC. Within the context of a liberalized energy market, this...

Flexibility in Future Power Systems with High Renewable Energy Penetration

Future energy systems will present high penetrations of variable renewable energy (VRES). Due to the uncertainty that is related to the intermittency of wind and solar energy, and loads such as electric vehicles, the need for flexibility will be higher. This research identifies the possible sources of flexibility in a power system. Firstly,...
