Izadkhast, S. (author), Cossent, Rafael (author), Frías, Pablo (author), García‐gonzález, Pablo (author), Rodríguez‐calvo, Andrea (author)The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the overall performance of a battery energy storage system (BESS) during I) grid‐connected, II) black start, and III) islanded operating modes. To do so, firstly, a novel three‐mode controller is proposed and developed. The proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller is implemented,...journal article 2022

Alpizar Castillo, J.J. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Renewable energy power plants and transport and heating electrification projects are being deployed to enable the replacement of fossil fuels as the primary energy source. This transition encourages distributed generation but makes the grid more weather-dependent, thus reducing its inertia. Simultaneously, electrical network operators face...journal article 2022

Grazian, F. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Wireless charging must be highly efficient throughout the entire battery charging profile to compete in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Thus, optimum load matching is commonly used: it operates at the equivalent load that maximizes the efficiency, which depends on the coil's alignment. In this article, the optimum load is made independent...journal article 2022

Sharif Azadeh, S. (author), Vester, J. (author), Maknoon, M.Y. (author)In this paper, we evaluate the cost of the electrification of an existing bus network. We propose a family of bi-objective mathematical models to demonstrate the trade-off between strategic (i.e., battery sizing and the locations of charging stations) and operational decisions (i.e., battery degradation). The proposed mathematical models...journal article 2022
