      Tricarico, Gioacchino; Wagle, Raju; Martinez, Jesus Castro; Gonzalez-Longatt, Francisco; Dicorato, Maria; Forte, Giusenne; Rueda, Jose Luis (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      Distribution grids are subject to a drastic evolution in their operating conditions due to the high integration of renewable energy resources (RES) and their ability to regulate voltage. To cope with this issue, modern solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are equipped with smart inverters enabled with communication capabilities that allow the coordinated operation to offer services such as controlling ...
    • Co-simulation-based optimal reactive power control in smart distribution network 

      Wagle, Raju; Pham, Le Nam Hai; Tricarico, Gioacchino; Sharma, Pawan; Rueda, Jose Luis; Gonzalez-Longatt, Francisco (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-30)
      The increasing integration of distributed energy resources such as photovoltaic (PV) systems into distribution networks introduces intermittent and variable power, leading to high voltage fluctuations. High PV integration can also result in increased terminal voltage of the network during periods of high PV generation and low load consumption. These problems can be solved by optimal utilization ...
    • Experiences in a Cyber-Physical Co-Simulation Testbed Development for a Smart-er Distribution Network 

      Wagle, Raju; Pham, Le Nam Hai; Tricarico, Gioacchino; Sharma, Pawan; Rueda, Jose Luis; Gonzalez-Longatt, Francisco (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-03-28)
      With the rise of the integration of renewable energy sources, the operating characteristics of existing electric power distribution systems are evolving and changing. As a result, the digitalisation of the distribution network is gaining attention for effective real-time monitoring and control. Cyber-Physical cosimulation is one of the options for implementing and testing novel concepts and ideas ...
    • A Modified Version of the IEEE 39-bus Test System for the Day-Ahead Market 

      Tricarico, Gioacchino; Wagle, Raju; Dicorato, Maria; Forte, Giuseppe; Gonzalez-Longatt, Francisco; Rueda, Jose Luis (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-03-28)
      Reaching net-zero emissions within the proposed time requires an enormous effort from the energy sector, and it is even more challenging for the electricity infrastructure. This article offers a modified version of the IEEE 39-bus system specifically created to allow zonal day-ahead market (ZDAM) simulations. The system representation is based on the original version of the IEEE 39-bus system but ...
    • Security Constrained Unit Commitment and Economic Dispatch applied to the Modified IEEE 39-bus system Case 

      Tricarico, Gioacchino; Azuara-Grande, Luis Santiago; Wagle, Raju; Gonzalez-Longatt, Francisco; Dicorato, Maria; Forte, Giuseppe; Rueda, Jose Luis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-12-09)
      The operation schedule of the power generation units in electrical power systems is determined by the optimisation problem known as unit commitment (UC), aiming at minimising the total cost considering the generation constraints. To obtain a feasible solution from the network perspective, the security-constrained UC (SCUC) problem has been defined to embed the network constraints in the optimisation ...
    • Security Constrained Unit Commitment and Economic Dispatch by AC Sensitivity Factors 

      Tricarico, Gioacchino; Wagle, Raju; Azuara-Grande, Luis Santiago; Gonzalez-Longatt, Francisco; Dicorato, Maria; Forte, Giuseppe; Rueda, Jose Luis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-09)
      The dispatch schedule of the electrical power plant units is the result of the solution to the unit commitment optimisation problem, and it minimises the cost of production considering pre-defined technical limits. The security-constrained unit commitment problem has been defined as including the network constraints in the previously mentioned optimisation problem to obtain a feasible power system ...
