Risk-Aware Active Power Flexibility Allocation From TSO–DSO Interconnections: The Switzerland's Transmission Network

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Mohsen Kalantar Neyestanaki

The power flexibility of the proliferating distributed energy resources located in distribution networks could be aggregated and provided to the transmission system. Considering the lack of a framework to help transmission system operator (TSO) to benefit ...

Coordinating Distributed Energy Resources and Utility-Scale Battery Energy Storage System for Power Flexibility Provision Under Uncertainty

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Mohsen Kalantar Neyestanaki

Relying on the power flexibility of distributed energy resources (DERs) located in an active distribution network (ADN), this ADN will be able to provide power flexibility to the upper-layer grid at their point of common coupling (PCC). The power flexibili ...

Characterizing the Reserve Provision Capability Area of Active Distribution Networks: A Linear Robust Optimization Method

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Mokhtar Bozorg, Fabrizio Sossan, Mohsen Kalantar Neyestanaki

Distributed energy resources (DERs) installed in active distribution networks (ADNs) can be exploited to provide both active and reactive power reserves to the upper-layer grid (i.e., sub-transmission and transmission systems) at their connection point. Th ...

Allocation of Active Power Reserve from Active Distribution Networks Using a Cost-Benefit Approach: Application to Swissgrid Network

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Mokhtar Bozorg, Fabrizio Sossan, Mohsen Kalantar Neyestanaki

The flexibility of distributed energy resources (DERs) accommodated in active distribution networks (ADNs) can be aggregated and then used to provide ancillary services to the transmission system. In this context, this paper presents a linear optimization ...

Allocation of Frequency Control Reserve from Aggregated Resources of Active Distribution Systems

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Mokhtar Bozorg, Fabrizio Sossan, Mohsen Kalantar Neyestanaki

This paper addresses the allocation of frequency control services (FCSs) from aggregated resources of active distribution systems (ARADSs) for balancing the transmission system while considering credible contingencies as well as forecast error of loads and ...
