The power flow model performs the analysis of electric distribution and transmission systems. With this statement at hand, in this work we present a summary of those solvers for the power [...]

Abstract

The mass adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) requires the deployment of public charging stations. Such facilities are expected to employ distributed generation and storage units to reduce the stress on the grid and boost sustainable transportation. While prior work has made [...]

Abstract

This thesis is about Photovoltaic (PV) cells and its stresses in various directions by calculating the power generated using solar cells under different conditions to improve its efficiency. Our research studies found that using multi-junction cells with larger substrates can increase [...]

Abstract

The main outcome of this research is the development of a Probabilistic Impact Assessment methodology to comprehensively understand the effects of low carbon technologies (LCTs) in low voltage (LV) distribution networks and the potential solutions available to increase their adoption.The [...]

Abstract

The electrical grid is a huge and complex system which represents a critical infrastructure. Due to this fact, the electric power industry has traditionally adopted a conservative attitude regarding changes. As a result of that, the electrical grid has experienced very few breakthroughs [...]

Abstract

The operation model of a virtual power plant (VPP) that includes synchronous distributed generating units, combined heat and power unit, renewable sources, small pumped and thermal storage elements, and electric vehicles is described in the present research. The VPPs are involved [...]

Abstract

Due to increasing penetration of decentralized variable renewable energy generators and the increasing demand of electrical power due to the electrification of the heat and transport sectors, low voltage grids are facing critical problems. Deviation of the permitted voltage range [...]

Abstract
