Understanding the impacts of smart grid solutions: a methodology proposal to perform a scalability and replicability analysis (SRA)
Smart grid solutions offer a great potential to improve the distribution system. Numerous pilot projects have been launched to test smart grid solutions in real-life systems. However, the results observed will be subject ... -
The remuneration challenge: new solutions for the regulation of electricity distribution utilities under high penetrations of Distributed Energy Resources and smart grid technologies
Ongoing changes in the delivery of electricity services and the the use and management of electricity distribution systems - including the proliferation of distributed energy resources, smart grid technologies (i.e., ... -
Trends and challenges in the operation of pumped-storage hydropower plants
The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) has highlighted the benefits of being able to store energy in a more efficient manner, and the need of holding additional operating reserves to manage the system ... -
A benefit-based methodology to rank transmission expansion projects
This paper proposes a novel methodology to rank transmission expansion projects based on the benefits they provide to the system. The methodology developed estimates the benefits produced by investment projects, and is ... -
Inter-temporal R&D and capital investment portfolios for the electricity industry’s low carbon future
This paper explores cost-effective low-carbon R&D and capital investment portfolios for the electricity generation sector through 2060. We present a novel method for long-term planning by combining an economic model of ... -
Quantifying convergence in the sciences
Traditional epistemological models classify knowledge into separate disciplines with different objects of study and specific techniques, with some frameworks even proposing hierarchies (such as Comte s). According to ... -
Ramp-based scheduling vs. energy-block scheduling in day-ahead market
Although unit commitment (UC) based on energy blocks is the most common way to schedule the generators in current power systems, it has been reported that it may not be capable of guaranteeing feasible schedules. In ... -
Beneficiaries of transmission expansion projects of an expansion plan: an Aumann-Shapley approach
The objective of this paper is to propose a novel methodology to compute the benefit obtained by individual users from each of the transmission expansion projects within an expansion plan. Benefits computed should be ... -
Complex systems techniques applied to transmission expansion planning. Part II: an agent-based model for transmission expansion planning
Agent-based methods are useful for modeling complicated systems from the bottom-up. We propose an agentbased model to optimize the design of a power grid. The model is inspired by the behavior of the Plasmodium mould, whose ...
