Abstract In the context of both the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and microgrid (MG), the Energy Management System (EMS) is a key decision-maker for integrating Distributed renewable Energy Resources (DERs) efficiently. The EMS is regarded as a strong enabler of providing the optimized scheduling control in operation and management of usage of disperse DERs and Renewable Energy reSources (RES) such as a small-size wind-turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) energies. The main objective to be pursued by the EMS is the minimization of the overall operating cost of the MG integrated VPP network. However, the minimization of… More >

Abstract The introduction of several small and large-scale industries, malls, shopping complexes, and domestic applications has significantly increased energy consumption. The aim of the work is to simulate a technically viable and economically optimum hybrid power system for residential buildings. The proposed micro-grid model includes four power generators: solar power, wind power, Electricity Board (EB) source, and a Diesel Generator (DG) set, with solar and wind power performing as major sources and the EB supply and DG set serving as backup sources. The core issue in direct current to alternate current conversion is harmonics distortion, a… More >

Abstract Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) are computer-based systems that aid in managing, controlling, and monitoring the building technical services and energy consumption by equipment used in the building. The effectiveness of BEMS is dependent upon numerous factors, among which the operational characteristics of the building and the BEMS control parameters also play an essential role. This research develops a user-driven simulation tool where users can input the building parameters and BEMS controls to determine the effectiveness of their BEMS. The simulation tool gives the user the flexibility to understand the potential energy savings by employing… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Building structures themselves are one of the key areas of urban energy consumption, therefore, are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. With this understood, the carbon trading market is gradually expanding to the building sector to control greenhouse gas emissions. Hence, to balance the interests of the environment and the building users, this paper proposes an optimal operation scheme for the photovoltaic, energy storage system, and flexible building power system (PEFB), considering the combined benefit of building. Based on the model of conventional photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage system (ESS), the mathematical optimization model More >

Abstract The optimal operation of microgrids is of great significance for the sake of efficient and economical management of its energy resources. The microgrid energy management system should plan to operate the microgrid while simultaneously considering the electric and thermal load. The present study proposes energy management to minimize the costs of operating an industrial microgrid. In fact, planning for energy supply is among the critical issues that distribution companies deal with daily in the competitive environment. A distribution company usually meets customer (end customer) demands by purchasing energy from a wholesale market. Given the load… More >

Abstract The networking of microgrids has received significant attention in the form of a smart grid. In this paper, a set of smart railway stations, which is assumed as microgrids, is connected together. It has been tried to manage the energy exchanged between the networked microgrids to reduce received energy from the utility grid. Also, the operational costs of stations under various conditions decrease by applying the proposed method. The smart railway stations are studied in the presence of photovoltaic (PV) units, energy storage systems (ESSs), and regenerative braking strategies. Studying regenerative braking is one of… More > Graphic Abstract
