Home Energy Management System: A Machine Learning Approach

The increasing adoption of renewable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic (PV) systems in residential sectors has raised important energy balancing challenges due to the intermittent nature of energy generation. To address these challenges and prioritize cost savings for residential consumers, this research investigates the integration of...

Speed-Torque Coupled Modular Energy Management for HEVs

Fuel consumption reduction in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) powertrains has been an important area of research over the past few decades. HEV powertrains have two energy sources : fuel and battery. The important task of splitting the energy/power demand between both these sources is performed by the Energy Management Systems (EMS). There are...

Optimal Control Energy Management Strategy for Hybrid Propulsion and Power Supply Vessels using Data-Driven Load Forecasting

Hybrid technology can significantly reduce fuel consumption and emission for vessels that have high power demand peaks followed by long periods of low loading. Hybrid technology refers to powertrain layouts that consist of hybrid propulsion and/or hybrid power supply. Advanced energy management strategies (EMS) are required to make optimal use...

Smart grid-integrated vessel through a shore power system

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) that are integrated with the electricity grid have proven to be a suitable solution for reducing costs by providing flexible demand, but are often uneconomical when used solely for this purpose. Despite the research efforts showing the benefits of an energy-integrated harbor-area smart grid (HASG), the...

Optimal Energy Resource Control in Congested Areas: A Stochastic Resource Dispatch Optimization Model Considering Flexible Robust Constraints

Future energy systems are expected to rely increasingly more on distributed energy resources (DER). Prosumers that own energy resources such as photovoltaic (PV) generation and energy storage systems, will play a crucial role in the realization of DER’s in future power systems. Limited grid connections due to local electricity congestion make it...

Volt-VA control using multi-port converters for voltage management in low voltage feeders

The increase in quantity and electrification of energy in residential areas pushes the existing distribution network to its limits. If left unchanged, the network will suffer from voltage violations caused by the increase of electric vehicle (EV) charging, energy generation by Photovoltaics (PV) panels and the phasing out of natural gas....

Energy Management: Techno-economic assessment of a power manager - towards a business case for integrating electric vehicles within a building’s electrical system

Due to the intermittent character of renewable electricity sources and increasing decentralized electricity production, grid operators are facing challenges in balancing electricity- demand and supply within grid operations. These characteristics make it challenging for operators to forecast in- and outflowing electricity in the grid. This often...
