▼ Researchers have proposed that
distributed energy storage devices could be used to perform ancillary services for the electric grid. This work focuses on vehicle-to-grid and battery-to-grid
distributed energy storage devices. In conceptual studies,
distributed energy storage devices were shown to be able to accrue revenue for performing these grid stabilization services, and these revenues were used to show that the use of vehicle-to-grid and battery-to-grid can help to offset the initial increased capital cost of electric vehicles. These conceptual studies have assumed a command architecture that allows for a direct and deterministic communication between the grid system operator and the
distributed energy storage devices. The first part of this thesis compares this direct, deterministic command architecture to an aggregative command architecture on the basis of the availability, reliability and value of the vehicle-to-grid provided ancillary services. This research incorporates a new level of detail into the modeling of vehicle-to-grid ancillary services by incorporating probabilistic vehicle travel models, time series ancillary services pricing, a consideration of ancillary services reliability. Results show that including an aggregating entity in the command and contracting architecture can improve the scale and reliability of vehicle-to-grid ancillary services, thereby making vehicle-to-grid ancillary services more compatible with the current ancillary services market. However, the aggregative architecture has the deleterious effect of reducing the revenue accrued by plug-in vehicle owners relative to the default architectures. The second part of this work investigates the effects of introducing battery state of charge and time series generation control signals. Results show that in order to integrate a vehicle-to-grid system into the existing markets and power grid the
distributed energy storage system will require: 1) an aggregative architecture to meet current industry reliability standards, 2) the construction of low net
energy automatic generation control signals, 3) a lower percent call for distributive
energy storage systems even if the pool of contracted ancillary service resources gets smaller, 4) a consideration of vehicle performance degradation due to the potential loss of electrically driven miles, and 5) the incorporation of power-to-
energy ratios. The third part of this work adapts the vehicle-to-grid model to a battery-to-grid system. Results show that if the automatic generation control signals contain low
energy content, battery-to-grid has higher revenue potential than vehicle-to-grid due not having to account for vehicle driving behavior. Additionally, the third portion of this work proposed and performed high level analyses of operational options for battery-to-grid systems receiving automatic generation control signals with high
energy content.

▼ Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) have been playing an increasingly important role for managing households energy costs. DERs consist primarily of energy generation and storage systems utilized by individual households or shared among them as a community. This research proposes a framework to allocate shared energy storage within a community and to then optimize the operational cost of electricity using a mixed integer linear programming (MILP). The allocation options of energy storage include the option of private energy storage (PES) and three options of community energy storage (CES): random, diverse, and homogeneous allocation. With various load options of appliances, photovoltaic (PV) generation and energy storage set-ups, the operational cost of electricity for each household is minimized to provide the optimal operation scheduling.
In addition to the electricity operational cost, energy storage utilization, and operation fairness are used to compare different allocation options of storage systems. Computational results are presented on two real use cases: Waterloo, Canada and Ennis, Ireland. For each case, one typical summer day and one common winter day are selected to simulate different scenarios of the two seasons. Given the allocation options and ownership rates of residential energy storage deployment, this research shows the advantage of using CES as opposed to PES and evaluates the cost savings which can facilitate future deployment of CES.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Distribution systems start from the distribution substation and deliver the power to the end users. Traditionally, the planning and operation of distribution systems have received less attention than transmission system which leads to the overdesign and inefficiency of distribution systems. Fast developing energy technology together with the environmental concerns has greatly increased the complexity of power grid and distribution systems, where the desire to increase the efficiency of energy distribution and consumption is increased. Additionally, with the requirement of high quality and reliable power supply to consumers, smart grid has been identified as the next generation of electric power systems around the globe. In the context of smart grid, the modern distribution system is changing from passive to active by distributed generation, communication technology, and automation control devices. We can see the significantly increasing penetration of new power engineering technologies, such as renewable energy distributed generation, energy storage, and other factors. There is a need to fully exploit the potential advantages of these new elements in smart distribution systems. The distribution system along with smart devices, as the solution to the need for grid development, provides utilities with many benefits, including improved operational efficiency, flexibility and power quality. However, despite those benefits, the planning of smart distribution system is a problem of vital importance since it concerns how the system is designed to achieve higher efficiency and reliability. The planning methods of the existing distribution system are either inappropriate for practical use in dealing with the emerging elements or impossible to achieve the global optimal solution. As a result, in-depth research is needed to solve these emerging and difficult problems in planning and operation. Most of the existing researches focus on one type of elements in the distribution system without taking other components and their implications on the overall system performance into consideration. In addition, they seldom consider the effects of electricity market or quantify the economic value brought by the reliability of the updated distribution systems. Therefore, in order to improve the economic efficiency and sustainability of smart grids, this research develops advanced planning methods for better integration and operation of new emerging elements, especially the distributed generation and energy storage in modern distribution system. First, a novel method for optimal allocation of renewable distributed generator (DG) is proposed. The optimal allocation of DG can not only reduce power loss through the feeder, but also improve the voltage stability, which is beneficial to both the economy and security of distribution systems. Multi-objective function is applied to quantify the impact brought by the increasing penetration of renewable DGs. To be more practical and accurate, the…

▼ This thesis addresses the future of sustainable energy distribution and transportation in the United States. Predictions of future energy and transportation demands promote localized energy as the most likely situation. Existing proposals outlining the benefits of decentralized energy production fail to engage architecture. Cities will require new architectural typologies that can integrate new energy infrastructure in the city.
Los Angeles, the archetype of the decentralized American city, is introduced as a case study. The city is examined at multiple scales for the integration of a decentralized electricity network and an efficient transportation infrastructure. Siting the proposed facilities capitalizes on new and existing transportation infrastructures and local energy resources. The new electricity-transportation infrastructure is adapted to a decentralized network functioning on principles of ecosystems and energy economics at an urban scale.
Energy storage is paired with multi-modal transportation to develop new architectural and urban typologies. This enables the decentralized urban proposal to function as a network exhibiting mutually beneficial characteristics.

▼ The adoption of
Distributed Energy Resources (DER) – such as battery
energy storage and rooftop solar - are revolutionizing the topology and operation of the electric grid. When paired with smart control and communication technologies, DERs transform traditional electricity customers into providers of (potentially zero-emission)
energy and grid services. Electricity rates - the policies that govern the retail use cases for these technologies – however, lag the technological advances of the modern grid. Retail rates designed in a less technically complex era – such as demand charges – do not send price signals that align customer behavior with either grid or social benefits.
In this research we investigate the retail rate incentives for the commercial segment of
energy customers in Texas. Texas provides an interesting test case for commercial investment in
energy storage for two reasons: first, low
energy prices driven by cost declines in renewables and natural gas has caused commercial and industrial
energy use in Texas to grow compared to other states, second, retail restructuring in Texas has diversified the types of rates a commercial customer can choose from. In this analysis, we formulate a linear program to optimize commercial DER behavior over a variety of increasingly time-responsive commercial rate designs. We then utilize four years of historical data from ERCOT and 15 commercial building load profiles to investigate how each retail rate design aligns with system and social objectives including emission reductions.
I find that time invariant rates – such as demand charges - often provide perverse incentives to some classes of commercial DER applications that increase system-wide costs and can increase emissions. In comparison I find that exposing commercial DER customers to dynamic prices that better reflects real-time system needs decreases overall costs and decreases emissions.

▼ The world is facing
energy and environmental challenges due to an increase in
energy consumption. In the United States, buildings consume 41% of the primary
energy, and traditional systems, such as conventional centralized large-scale power plants for electricity and traditional boilers for thermal
energy, are still their major
energy suppliers. While most commonly used, these technologies present
energy losses in both processes leading to reduced combined efficiency. Alternatively, Combined Heat and Power (CHP) based
Distributed Energy (DE) systems have been deployed to increase
energy efficiency. When properly designed, a DE system can minimize primary
energy use, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and improve the resiliency of the electrical
energy supply. Research on DE systems presents methods to minimize costs and emissions but does not focus on minimizing primary
energy consumption. Moreover, current research focuses more on both electrical
energy and electrical
energy storage rather than on thermal
energy and thermal
storage. This research presents an optimization method to minimize the consumption of fossil fuel-based primary
energy of a DE system, which includes base CHP, Thermal
Energy Storage (TES), boiler, and electricity from the grid when necessary. First, an assessment of the
energy demand of a campus is presented in the form of a case study. Then, a mathematical optimization using a Generalized Reduced Gradient (GRG) non-linear technique is proposed to calculate the minimum primary
energy consumption for the system under consideration. Finally, a Microsoft Excel-based tool is developed to help designers estimate the system minimum primary
energy consumption. Results show that the combined use of base CHP and TES in a DE system can lead to a considerable decrease in primary
energy consumption. Moreover, the research presented shows the need to develop methods to store high-temperature thermal
energy more efficiently and in a sizeable manner. Finally, it illustrates the importance of an accessible and widely-used software such as Microsoft Excel for assessing the development of
Distributed Energy (DE) systems for campuses.

▼ Battery
storage has many benefits, such as providing instantaneous response to changes in demand, clean electricity to customers, and integration of intermittent power sources. However, at the present time battery
storage has proven to be too costly for widespread implementation. While there has been research to examine the cost at which battery
storage will become cost effective for particular applications, little work has been done to determine the most effective placement of battery
storage for the greatest impact on the system as a whole. This research examines battery
storage in a real-time pricing
energy market, and compares the cost effectiveness of three different cases: (1) Battery
storage owned and operated by an intermittent renewable
energy generation facility, (2) Battery
storage connected to the grid providing
energy services, (3) Battery
storage owned and operated by a manufacturing plant. Real-time pricing data from ISO New England was analyzed to determine the monetary benefits of each case on a per mega-amp-hour basis. By looking at the issue holistically, instead of analyzing isolated scenarios, the benefits of each placement can be isolated from the overall benefits of connecting
storage to the grid. Once the true value of each scenario can be accurately identified, the integration of utility scale battery
storage is optimized to maximize benefits to all stakeholders. The results show that the economic benefit of a battery in a real-time pricing market is not dependent on the electrical generation or consumption attached to it. Instead, a grid-connected battery makes its own business case, meaning that existing battery
storage can be leveraged for arbitrage and grid services without a loss of renewables firming capabilities.

▼ Optimizing renewable
distributed generation in
distribution systems has gained popularity with changes in federal
energy policies. Various studies have been reported in this regard
and most of the studies are based on optimum wind and/or solar
generation planning in distribution system using various
optimization techniques such as analytical, numerical, and
heuristic. However, characteristics such as high
energy density,
relatively lower footprint of land, availability, and local
reactive power compensation ability, have gained increased
popularity for optimizing
distributed wind generation (DWG) in
distribution systems.
This research investigated optimum
distributed generation planning (ODGP) using two primary
optimization techniques: analytical and heuristic. In first part of
the research, an analytical optimization method called “Combined
Electrical Topology (CET)” was proposed in order to minimize the
impact of intentional structural changes in distribution system
topology, in
distributed generation/ DWG placement.
Even though
it is still rare, DWG could be maximized to supply base power
demand of three-phase unbalanced radial distribution system,
combined with
distributed battery
energy storage systems (BESS). In
second part of this research the usage of DWG/BESS as base power
generation, and to extend the ability to sustain the system in a
power grid failure for a maximum of 1.5 hours was studied. IEEE
37-node, three-phase unbalanced radial distribution system was used
as the test system to optimize wind turbines and sodium sulfide
(NaS) battery units with
respect to network real power losses,
system voltage profile, DWG/BESS availability and present value of
cost savings. In addition, DWG’s ability to supply local reactive
power in distribution system was also investigated.
Model
results suggested that DWG/NaS could supply base power demand of a
threephase unbalanced radial distribution system. In addition,
DWG/NaS were able to sustain power demand of a three-phase
unbalanced distribution system for 1.5 hours in the event of a
power grid failure.

▼ Power system islanding is gaining increasing
interest as a way to maintain power supply continuity. However,
before this operation become viable, the technical challenges
associated with its operation must first be addressed. A possible
solution to one of these challenges, out-of synchronism reclosure,
is by running the islanded system in synchronism with the mains
whilst not being electrically connected. This concept, known as
“synchronous islanded operation” avoids the danger of
out-of-synchronism reclosure of the islanded system onto the mains.
The research in this thesis was based on the concepts presented in
[1-3] and specifically applied to multiple-DG island scenarios. The
additional control challenges associated with this scenario are
identified and an appropriate control scheme, more suited for the
operation of multiple-DG synchronous islands, is proposed. The
results suggest that multiple-DG synchronous islanded operation is
feasible, but a supervisory controller is necessary to facilitate
the information exchange within the islanded system and enable
stable operation.For maximum flexibility, the synchronous island
must be capable of operating with a diversity of generation. The
difficulties become further complicated when some or all of the
generation consists of intermittent sources. The performance of the
proposed control scheme in the presence of a significant
contribution of renewable sources within the island is
investigated. Two types of wind technologies were developed in
PSCAD/EMTDC for this purpose, they are a fixed speed induction
generator (FSIG) based wind farm and a doubly-fed induction
generator (DFIG) based wind farm. The results show that although
synchronous islanded operation is still achievable, the
intermittent output has an adverse effect on the control
performance, and in particular limits the magnitude of disturbances
that can happen in the island without going beyond the relaxed
synchronisation limits of ±60o.
Energy storage is proposed as a way
to reduce the wind farm power variation and improve phase
controller response. A supplementary control is also proposed such
that DFIG contributes to the inertial response. The potential of
the proposed scheme (
energy storage + supplementary control) is
evaluated using case studies. The results show massive improvement
to the load acceptance limits, even beyond the case where no wind
farm is connected. The benefit of the proposed scheme is even more
apparent as the share of wind generated
energy in the island
grows.

▼ Context : Big Data and Cloud Computing nowadays require large amounts of storage that are accessible by many servers. The Energy consumed by these servers as well as that consumed by hosts providing the storage has been growing rapidly over the recent years. There are various approaches to save energy both at the hardware and software level, respectively. In the context of software, this challenge requires identification of new development methodologies that can help reduce the energy footprint of the Distributed Storage System. Until recently, reducing the energy footprint of Distributed Storage Systems is a challenge because there is no new methodology implemented to reduce the energy footprint of the Distributed Storage Systems. To tackle this challenge, we evaluate the energy consumption of Distributed Storage Systems by using a Power Application Programming Interface (PowerAPI) that monitors, in real-time, the energy consumed at the granularity of a system process. Objectives : In this study we investigate the Energy Consumption of distributed storage system. We also attempt to understand the effect on energy consumption for various patters of video streams. Also we have observed different measurement approaches for energy performance. Methods : The method is to use a power measuring software library while a synthetic load generator generates the load i.e., video data streams. The Tool which generates the workload is Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation Solution File Server (SPECsfs 2014) and PowerAPI is the software power monitoring library to evaluate the energy consumption of distributed storage systems of GlusterFS and Compuverde. Results : The mean and median values of power samples in mill watts for Compuverde higher than Gluster. For Compuverde the mean and median values until the load increment of three streams was around a 400 milliwatt value. The values of mean and median for the Gluster system were gradually increasing. Conclusions : The results show Compuverde having a higher consumption of energy than Gluster as it has a higher number of running processes that implement additional features that do not exist in Gluster. Also we have concluded that the conpuverde performed better for higher values of Load i.e., video data streams.

▼ Recently, distributed battery energy storage systems (BESSs) has gained profound importance due to the ever-growing penetration of distributed energy resources (e.g., rooftop solar, wind turbines, etc.) in power grid. Electric vehicles (EVs), driven by carbon emissions control and oil supply risks, are universally believed to be the future of transportation. Hence, recent years have witnessed an urgent demand of establishing advanced EV networks for supporting transportation electrification. The planning and operation of distributed BESSs and EV networks, though possess different technical and economic constraints, share a common bond through their dedication to the charging/discharging operation of batteries. It is therefore an important and urgent research task to investigate new models and algorithms for the operation of batteries, and further apply them to the planning and operation of distributed BESSs and EV networks in smart grid. One of the central challenges confronting BESS investors/operators is that batteries have high capital cost and the degradation of batteries is a very complicated process, making it extremely difficult to estimate the economic value of a distributed BESS over its entire lifetime. The first part of this thesis focuses on the design of a novel stochastic model and algorithm that can efficiently quantify the exact relationship between batteries’ lifetime and specific operational trajectories, and further investigates the operational policy that can characterize the optimal trade-off between achieving better economic value and extending longer lifetime. The second part of this thesis focuses on queueing network modeling, quality-of-service analysis and optimal scheduling of EV networks. Our key contribution in the second part is the establishment of a mixed queueing network model for EV battery swapping and charging stations, of which both the steady-state and asymptotic performance are analytically derived. Based on this queueing model, we further propose a computationally-efficient optimal charging strategy for scheduling a centralized battery charging station that serves EVs based on battery swapping.

▼ Traditional resiliency studies of infrastructure system such as the power grid focused on a context defined by extreme events and natural disasters. However, the increased dependability on cyber tools and networks combined with the rise of serious cyber-based threats thrust resilience to be a strategic approach for planning, design and operation. This dissertation invests on a cyber-physical model of the smart grid and is motivated by the benefits of understanding the interactions between the cyber and physical domains and coordinating adaptive capacity resources for an enhanced resilient operation.
We first consider how to improve the resilient operation of existing power systems. We adopt an
energy storage (ESS)-based feedback linearization control to address transient stability. The control is studied in centralized,
distributed and decentralized architectures, then the different architectures are recognized as modes of operation of an adaptive controller that responds to cyber and physical
disturbances. Observed performance limitations of the proposed control are investigated in our study of cyber-physical interactions. A cyber-physical hybrid graph is constructed based on an equivalent impedance interpretation of a communication link performance in relation to physical power systems’ dynamics. The proposed hybrid graph constitutes a representation of the system in the cyber-physical domain. The impact of the ESS-based control in enhancing transient stability is then studied from a resiliency perspective. The combined impact of the ESS, sensory and associated control is analytically studied using a proposed effective virtual inertia measure. The proposed measure reflects the adaptive capacity introduced into the power system by the ESS-based control.
We next consider evolving distribution systems and how coordinated operation of these systems can adopt a resilient-by-design approach. Microgrid networks present a system-of-systems architecture comprised of autonomous entities and
distributed built-in adaptive capacity that can be coordinated to achieve further benefits and enhanced resilience. A coalition constrained cooperative game-theoretic
distributed algorithm is developed to coordinate resources between microgrids.
Finally, we develop a new class of switching attacks that exploits existing system vulnerabilities using an adversary threat model with limited resources. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing existing vulnerabilities in the power system for an improved resilience.

▼ This thesis presents the application of a series interconnection module for small
distributed generation (DG) or renewable
energy systems integration in the distribution network. The concept used one set of voltage source converter (VSC) with battery
energy storage system to control the injected voltage magnitude and phase angle for power injection and voltage sag mitigation applications. Through an
energy storage device and the VSC, the module allows
storage of surplus
energy during off peak period and release for use during daytime peak load period, therefore, exhibits a load leveling characteristic. Due to its series connection characteristic, it is convenient in preventing islanding operation and suitable for voltage sag mitigation. The concept is suitable for locations where the voltage phase shift is not a problem. Due to the use of only one set of VSC, it is economic for customer site
distributed energy resource applications.

▼ An increased penetration of renewable energy into the electric power grid is desirable from an environmental standpoint as well as an economical one. However, renewable sources such as wind and solar energy are often variable and intermittent, and additionally, are non-dispatchable. Also, the locations with the highest amount of available wind or solar may be located in areas that are far from areas with high levels of demand, and these areas may be under the control of separate, individual entities. In this dissertation, a method that coordinates these areas, accounts for the variability and intermittency, reduces the impact of renewable energy forecast errors, and increases the overall social benefit in the system is developed. The approach for the purpose of integrating intermittent energy sources into the electric power grid is considered from both the planning and operations stages. In the planning stage, two-stage stochastic optimization is employed to find the optimal size and location for a storage device in a transmission system with the goal of reducing generation costs, increasing the penetration of wind energy, alleviating line congestions, and decreasing the impact of errors in wind forecasts. The size of this problem grows dramatically with respect to the number of variables and constraints considered. Thus, a scenario reduction approach is developed which makes this stochastic problem computationally feasible. This scenario reduction technique is derived from observations about the relationship between the variance of locational marginal prices corresponding to the power balance equations and the optimal storage size. Additionally, a probabilistic, or chance, constrained model predictive control (MPC) problem is formulated to take into account wind forecast errors in the optimal storage sizing problem. A probability distribution of wind forecast errors is formed and incorporated into the original storage sizing problem. An analytical form of this constraint is derived to directly solve the optimization problem without having to use Monte-Carlo simulations or other techniques that sample the probability distribution of forecast errors. In the operations stage, a MPC AC Optimal Power Flow problem is decomposed with respect to physical control areas. Each area performs an independent optimization and variable values on the border buses between areas are exchanged at each Newton-Raphson iteration. Two modifications to the Approximate Newton Directions (AND) method are presented and used to solve the distributed MPC optimization problem, both with the intention of improving the original AND method by improving upon the convergence rate. Methods are developed to account for numerical difficulties encountered by these formula- tions, specifically with regards to Jacobian singularities introduced due to the intertemporal constraints. Simulation results show convergence of the decomposed optimization problem to the centralized result, demonstrating the benefits of coordinating control areas in the IEEE 57- bus…

▼ With the increase of power demand, rising concern of environment protection and decommission of nuclear and fossil fuel power plants, the utility companies are facing with various challenges. Renewable
energy, such as solar photovoltaic, wind power in conjunction with
energy storage system are integrated to the network in a rapid speed. Effective Coordination of these
distributed energy resources could not only reduce the impacts to the system but also provide supports to system operations.
This research uses the concept of virtual power plant to integrate the
distributed resources in the distribution system to provide ancillary services to distribution system operator. Mathematical formulations of several ancillary services, including line losses optimization, congestion relief, voltage regulation and service restoration support, are presented. The dispatch of virtual power plant resources in a feeder level network during normal and emergency situations are studied and the enhancement of system efficiency and reliability due to the dispatch of the
distributed energy resources is demonstrated.

▼ Airborne Wind
Energy is a promising technology that is becoming the point of interest for many applications. One market in which the AWE systems can open a path as a renewable
distributed generator is in offgrid communities or camps. Nowadays, this market is dominated by fossil fuel
energy like diesel generators. Even though the diesel is cheap, in some cases the complexity to transport the diesel can increase its price considerably. A military camp is an example of this cases. AWE systems designed by the start-up Kitepower can offer a solution to this type of application. Nevertheless, there are some points in the AWE mechanism that should be improved. The most important of these aspects is the cyclic power production that generates a power gap. This thesis compares solutions as 2 KP systems, other
distributed generators (DG) and
storage systems (SS) to find the best option to mitigate the power gap. For the integration of the components with the KP system, microgrids designs and layouts were studied. This led to one of the most important things in a microgrid that is the SS sizing. Here, also a method to size the SS to fill the power gap is proposed based on the distribution of power generated by the KP system each cycle. To test the sizing and the operating of the system, a model was built in Simulink. The results show that the method finds a power balance between the power produced and the power generated. Finally, an efficient integrated system is proposed to mitigate the power gap of the KP system. Additionally, a method is developed to start the design and size additional DERs for future offgrid microgrid projects.

▼ Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) comprise of
distributed generation (DG),
energy storage (ES) and demand response (DR). DERs are different from other participants because of their distinctive characteristics: they are located on the demand side and they have some flexibility. DERs bring many streams of benefits for different system participants. Various methods have been proposed to capture and quantify the benefits DERs bring and distribute them to DERs. In general, these methods can be put into two categories: avoided-cost based methods and tariff based methods. Both categories have disadvantages: the avoided-cost methods calculate the benefits indirectly which makes it complicated for DERs to be rewarded. The tariff based methods fail to represent some benefits while mispresent some other benefits. The goal of this work is to bridge the gap for valuing
distributed energy resources. We first evaluate on the tariff based methods: we study the financial impacts of DERs owned by commercial customers on their load serving entity. The study shows the tariff should be modified in order to fairly represent the true values of DERs. Then we design value of DERs tariffs and conduct many case studies to show these tariffs provide DERs with higher savings at the same time reduce the amount of losses the load serving entity experiences. Secondly, we study the avoided-cost based methods. We propose a battery scheduling algorithm that simultaneously maximize multiple streams benefits calculated by avoided-cost methods. Next, we develop a battery aggregator model that combines the tariff based methods with the avoided-cost based methods. This model incorporates the advantages of both categories and bridges the gap for valuing DERs.

▼ Microgrid is an emerging technology in the eld of electrical engineering which employs the concept of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) in order to generate electricity in a small sized power system. The main objectives of this dissertation are to: 1- design a new control for lower level control of DERs in microgrids, 2- implement distributed upper level control for DERs in microgrids and 3- apply analytical approaches in order to analyze DERs in microgrids. The control in each DER can be divided into two main categories: lower and upper level. Lower level control is the main objective of control in each DER. For example, the lower level control in Photovoltaic (PV) is in charge of transferring the maximum power from sun into the main grid. Unlike the lower level control, the upper level control is an additional control loop on top of the lower level controls. For example, Voltage/Frequency (VF) controllers are installed on top of Active/Reactive (PQ) power controller in energy storage devices as upper level control. In this dissertation, for the lower level control improvements, two widely used DERs are selected (PV, and oshore wind farm) and new control algorithms are developed in order to improve the performance of lower level controllers in these DERs. For the PV lower level improvement, a new control methodology is proposed in order to minimize the maximum power tracking error in PV lower level controller. Second contribution in lower level control is for the oshore wind farm applications based on Multi-Terminal High Voltage Direct Current (MTDC) transmission; a new control is designed in order to minimize the losses in transmission lines through lower level control of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) converters.
For the upper level control, this dissertation considers the energy storage as another mostly used type of DER in microgrids. The lower level control for energy storage is in charge of controlling the PQ of the energy storage. The main contribution in the upper level control is to implement the distributed control algorithm based on consensus theory for battery energy storages in order to maximize the efficiency, energy management as well as synchronizing the performance of parallel energy storage devices in microgrids. In this case, the consensus based distributed control algorithm with limited information exchange between neighboring energy storage units is proposed and implemented to validate the claim.
The third contribution of this research is to apply advanced analysis techniques to evaluate the performance of the DERs in microgrids. Two approaches are introduced for microgrid modeling in this research. Firstly, an impedance modeling technique is used to model the oshore wind farm connected to the main AC grid through HVDC transmission line. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Nyquist analysis and singular value analysis are used to assess the interactions between HVDC converter and grid. Secondly, an unbalanced microgrid is considered and Dynamic Phasor (DP) analysis is applied in order to…

▼ Efficient supply of electric
energy, maintaining power quality, and addressing intermittency of
renewable
energy and unpredictable demand fluctuations are challenges of a modern power
grid. An individual
energy storage technology seldom provides all the desired characteristics
expected. A Hybrid
Energy Storage System (HESS) including different types of
energy storage
systems can address these challenges.
In this work a new formulation and algorithm was developed that optimally designs a grid-scale
HESS for desired performances such as peak load shaving and power demand curve smoothening
at the least capital cost. The proposed HESS comprised of a combination of Lithium Ion batteries,
Flywheels, and Ultracapacitor based
Energy Storage Systems. Real and synthetic power demand
dataset representing different types of demand fluctuations were used in the analysis. The
proposed formulation and algorithm was able to optimally size HESS such that it costs the least
while performing in the desired manner.

▼ Utilities, faced with increasingly limited resources, strive to maintain high levels of reliability in
energy delivery by adopting improved methodologies in planning, operation, construction and maintenance. On the other hand, driven by steady research and development and increase in sales volume, the cost of deploying PV systems has been in constant decline since their first introduction to the market. The increased level of penetration of
distributed energy resources in power distribution infrastructure presents various benefits such as loss reduction, resilience against cascading failures and access to more diversified resources. However, serious challenges and risks must be addressed to ensure continuity and reliability of service. By integrating necessary communication and control infrastructure into the distribution system, to develop a practically coordinated system of
distributed resources, controllable load/generation centers will be developed which provide substantial flexibility for the operation of the distribution system. On the other hand, such a complex
distributed system is prone to instability and black outs due to lack of a major "infinite" supply and other unpredicted variations in load and generation, which must be addressed. To devise a comprehensive method for coordination between
Distributed Energy Resources in order to achieve a collective goal, is the key point to provide a fully functional and reliable power distribution system incorporating
distributed energy resources. A road map to develop such comprehensive coordination system is explained and supporting scenarios and their associated simulation results are then elaborated. The proposed road map describes necessary steps to build a comprehensive solution for coordination between multiple agents in a microgrid or distribution feeder.'

▼ Growing concerns over greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions have increased the pressure to shift energy conversion paradigms from current forms to more sustainable methods, such as through the use of distributed energy resources (DER) at industrial and commercial buildings. This dissertation is concerned with the optimal design and dispatch of a DER system installed at an industrial or commercial building. An optimization model that accurately captures typical utility costs and the physical constraints of a combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system is designed to size and operate a DER system at a building. The optimization model is then used with cooperative game theory to evaluate the financial performance of a CCHP investment. The CCHP model is then modified to include energy storage, solar powered generators, alternative fuel sources, carbon emission limits, and building interactions with public and fleet PEVs. Then, a separate plugin electric vehicle (PEV) refueling model is developed to determine the cost to operate a public Level 3 fast charging station. The CCHP design and dispatch results show the size of the building load and consistency of the thermal loads are critical to positive financial performance. While using the CCHP system to produce cooling can provide savings, heat production drives positive financial performance. When designing the DER system to reduce carbon emissions, the use of renewable fuels can allow for a gas turbine system with heat recovery to reduce carbon emissions for a large university by 67%. Further reductions require large photovoltaic installations coupled with energy storage or the ability to export electricity back to the grid if costs are to remain relatively low.When considering Level 3 fast charging equipment, demand charges at low PEV travel levels are sufficiently high to discourage adoption. Integration of the equipment can reduce demand charge costs only if the building maximum demand does not coincide with PEV refueling. Electric vehicle refueling does not typically affect DER design at low PEV travel levels, but can as electric vehicle travel increases. However, as PEV travel increases, the stochastic nature of PEV refueling disappears, and the optimization problem may become deterministic.

▼ Cette thèse se situe dans le cadre de l'étude des réseaux faiblement interconnectés (puissance échangée limitée)ou isolés, alimentés principalement par des sources d'origine renouvelable. Afin d'équilibrer à chaque instant la production et la consommation, des groupes électrogènes ou des systèmes de stockage sont insérés. Les travaux portent sur deux grands objectifs. Le premier est de déterminer un mode de fonctionnement des moyens de stockage et de production afin d'exploiter le système à coût minimal en fonction des conditions météorologiques (prévision de la production renouvelable), tarifaires et de la consommation. Une seconde méthode d'optimisation est développée, prenant compte également les contraintes du réseau. Le deuxième objectif est la détermination de la meilleure localisation des moyens de stockage et de production sur le réseau. Une installation optimale permet de réduire les pertes en ligne, d'améliorer la qualité de la tension et ainsi de limiter le renforcement du le réseau aux points critiques. Le concept de stockage réparti (ou décentralisé) est introduit. La répartition de la capacité globale de stockage et le choix des paramètres de fonctionnement des onduleurs (pour répartir les appels de puissance) sont proposés. La simulation d'un cas d'application (réseau de Corse) permet de valider les outils développés.
This thesis concern isolated or weakly interconnected networks (limited power exchanged), powered essentially by renewable sources. To balance at any time between production and consumption, generators and storage systems are inserted.The work will focus on two main objectives. The first is to determine an operation mode of the generators and storage system at minimal cost depending on the weather (forecast of renewable generation), pricing and consumption. Optimization with network constraint is also developed. The second objective is to find the best places to install these resources on the network. A good location helps reduce line losses and improve voltage quality, which helps limit to reinforce the network at critical points. The concept of distributed storage (or decentralized) is introduced. The distribution of the overall storage capacity and choice of operating parameters of the inverters (to share the demanded power) are proposed. The simulations on an application case help to validate the developed tools.

▼ The electricity network is undergoing significant changes in the transition to a low carbon system. The growth of renewable distributed generation (DG) creates a number of technical and economic challenges in the electricity network. While the development of the smart grid promises alternative ways to manage network constraints, their impact on the ability of the network to accommodate DG – the ‘hosting capacity’- is not fully understood. It is of significance for both DNOs and DGs developers to quantify the hosting capacity according to given technical or commercial objectives while subject to a set of predefined limits. The combinational nature of the hosting capacity problem, together with the intermittent nature of renewable generation and the complex actions of smart control systems, means evaluation of hosting capacity requires appropriate optimisation techniques. This thesis extends the knowledge of hosting capacity. Three specific but related areas are examined to fill the gaps identified in existing knowledge. New evaluation methods are developed that allow the study of hosting capacity (1) under different curtailment priority rules, (2) with harmonic distortion limits, and (3) alongside energy storage systems. These works together improve DG planning in two directions: demonstrating the benefit provided by a range of smart grid solutions; and evaluating extensive impacts to ensure compliance with all relevant planning standards and grid codes. As an outcome, the methods developed can help both DNOs and DG developers make sound and practical decisions, facilitating the integration of renewable DG in a more cost-effective way.

▼ Transition towards low-carbon
energy systems
requires an increase in the volume of renewable
Distributed
Generation (DG), particularly wind and photovoltaic, connected to
distribution networks. To facilitate the connection of renewable DG
without the need for expensive and time-consuming network
reinforcements, distribution networks should move from passive to
active methods of operation, whereby technical network constraints
are actively managed in real time. This requires the deployment of
control solutions that manage network constraints and, crucially,
ensure adequate levels of
energy curtailment from DG plants by
using other controllable elements to solve network issues rather
than resorting to generation curtailment only.This thesis proposes
a deterministic distribution Network Management System (NMS) to
facilitate the connections of renewable DG plants (specifically
wind) by actively managing network voltages and congestion in real
time through the optimal control of on-load tap changers (OLTCs),
DG power factor and, then, generation curtailment as a last resort.
The set points for the controllable elements are found using an AC
Optimal Power Flow (OPF). The proposed NMS considers the realistic
modelling of control by adopting one-minute resolution time-series
data. To decrease the volumes of control actions from DG plants and
OLTCs, the proposed approach departs from multi-second control
cycles to multi-minute control cycles. To achieve this, the
decision-making algorithm is further improved into a risk-based one
to handle the uncertainties in wind power throughout the
multi-minute control cycles. The performance of the deterministic
and the risk-based NMS are compared using a 33 kV UK distribution
network for different control cycles. The results show that the
risk-based approach can effectively manage network constraints
better than the deterministic approach, particularly for
multi-minute control cycles, reducing also the number of control
actions but at the expense of higher levels of curtailment.This
thesis also proposes
energy storage sizing framework to find the
minimum power rating and
energy capacity of multiple
storage
facilities to reduce curtailment from DG plants. A two-stage
iterative process is adopted in this framework. The first stage
uses a multi-period AC OPF across the studied horizon to obtain
initial
storage sizes considering hourly wind and load profiles.
The second stage adopts a high granularity minute-by-minute control
driven by a mono-period bi-level AC OPF to tune the first-stage
storage sizes according to the actual curtailment. The application
of the proposed planning framework to a 33 kV UK distribution
network demonstrates the importance of embedding real-time control
aspects into the planning framework so as to accurately size
storage facilities. By using reactive power capabilities of
storage
facilities it is possible to reduce
storage sizes. The combined
active management of OLTCs and power factor of DG plants resulted
in the most significant benefits in terms of the…

▼ Electricity networks are undergoing a transformation brought on
by new technologies, market pressures and environmental concerns.
This includes a shift from large centralised generators to
small-scale distributed generators. The dramatic cost reductions
in rooftop solar PV and battery storage means that prosumers
(houses and other entities that can both produce and consume
electricity) will have a large role to play in future networks.
How can networks be managed going forward so that they run as
efficiently as possible in this new prosumer paradigm? Our
vision is to treat prosumers as active participants by developing
a mechanism that incentivises them to help balance power and
support the network. The whole process is automated to produce a
near-optimal outcome and to reduce the need for human
involvement.
The first step is to design an autonomous energy management
system (EMS) that can optimise the local costs of each prosumer
in response to network electricity prices. In particular, we
investigate different optimisation strategies for an EMS in an
uncertain household environment. We find that the uncertainty
associated with weather, network pricing and occupant behaviour
can be effectively handled using online optimisation techniques
using a forward receding horizon.
The next step is to coordinate the actions of many EMSs spread
out across the network, in order to minimise the overall cost of
supplying electricity. We propose a distributed algorithm that
can efficiently coordinate a network with thousands of prosumers
without violating their privacy. We experiment with a range of
power flow models of varying degrees of accuracy in order to test
their convergence rate, computational burden and solution quality
on a suburb-sized microgrid. We find that the higher accuracy
model, although non-convex, converges in a timely manner and
produces near-optimal solutions. We also develop simple but
effective techniques for dealing with residential shiftable loads
which require discrete decisions.
The final part of the problem we explore is prosumer manipulation
of the coordination mechanism. The receding horizon nature of
our algorithm is great for managing uncertainty, but it opens up
unique opportunities for prosumers to manipulate the actions of
others. We formalise this form of receding horizon manipulation
and investigate the benefits manipulative agents can obtain. We
find that indeed strategic agents can harm the system, but only
if they are large enough and have information about the behaviour
of other agents. For the rare cases where this is possible, we
develop simple privacy-preserving identifiers that monitor agents
and distinguish manipulation from uncertainty.
Together, these components create a complete solution for the
distributed…

▼ With the increase of power demand and rising concern of environmental protection, renewable
energy has been integrated into power system rapidly. Due to the intermittent characteristics and forecast difficulty of the renewables outputs, the power dispatch become more difficult. Demand-side management and demand bidding programs have been used by utility company to mitigate the peak load operation reserve problem.
This thesis reports simulated
energy dispatch planning of a university campus with
distributed energy resources (e.g., PV and
energy storage systems) to reduce the electricity bill according to load management programs (e.g., time-of-use rate and demand response) announced by utility. A model predictive control based strategy is adopted to solve the problem considering the uncertainties of campus load profile and PV outputs. The dispatch results of
energy storage system and air conditioner load curtailment are compared with those obtained from optimal day-ahead dispatch with and without perfect load and PV output profile predictions. The costs considered in this study include electricity
energy cost,
energy storage system operation cost and the contracted capacity charge.

▼ The integration of
distributed generations (DGs) - renewable DGs, in particular- into distribution networks is gradually increasing, driven by environmental concerns and technological advancements. However, the intermittency and the variability of these resources adversely affect the optimal operation and reliability of the power distribution system.
Energy storage systems (ESSs) are perceived as potential solutions to address system reliability issues and to enhance renewable
energy utilization. The reliability contribution of the ESS depends on the ownership of these resources, market structure, and the regulatory framework. This along with the technical characteristics and the component unavailability of ESS significantly affect the reliability value of ESS to an active distribution system. It is, therefore, necessary to develop methodologies to conduct the reliability assessment of ESS integrated modern distribution systems incorporating above-mentioned factors. This thesis presents a novel reliability model of ESS that incorporates different scenarios of ownership, market/regulatory structures, and the ESS technical and failure characteristics. A new methodology to integrate the developed ESS reliability model with the intermittent DGs and the time-dependent loads is also presented. The reliability value of ESS in distribution grid capacity enhancement, effective utilization of renewable
energy, mitigations of outages, and managing the financial risk of utilities under quality regulations are quantified. The methodologies introduced in this thesis will be useful to assess the market mechanism, policy and regulatory implications regarding ESS in future distribution system planning and operation.
Another important aspect of a modern distribution system is the increased reliability needs of customers, especially with the growing use of sensitive process/equipment. The financial losses of customers due to industrial process disruption or malfunction of these equipment because of short duration (voltage sag and momentary interruption) and long duration (sustained interruption) reliability events could be substantial. It is, therefore, necessary to consider these short duration reliability events in the reliability studies. This thesis introduces a novel approach for the integrated modeling of the short and long duration reliability events caused by the random failures. Furthermore, the active management of distribution systems with ESS, DG, and microgrid has the potential to mitigate different reliability events. Appropriate models are needed to explore their contribution and to assist the utilities and system planners in reliability based system upgrades. New probabilistic models are developed in this thesis to assess the role of ESS together with DG and microgrid in mitigating the adverse impact of different reliability events. The developed methodologies can easily incorporate the complex protection settings, alternate supplies configurations, and the presence of
