Voltage Stability Analysis using a Complete Model of Grid-Connected Voltage-Source Converters

Mario Paolone, Andreas Martin Kettner

Due to the increasing popularity of renewable energies, a significant share of the power generation in future microgrids is expected to originate from converter-interfaced Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Traditionally, idealized device models are used ...

Decentralized Planning of Energy Demand for the Management of Robustness and Discomfort

Karl Aberer, Matteo Vasirani

The robustness of smart grids is challenged by unpredictable power peaks or temporal demand oscillations that can cause blackouts and increase supply costs. Planning of demand can mitigate these effects and increase robustness. However, the impact on consu ...

Energy Security: a robust optimization approach to design a robust European energy supply via TIAM-WORLD

Frédéric Louis François Babonneau

Energy supply routes to a given region are subject to random events, resulting in partial or total closure of a route (corridor). For instance: a pipeline may be subject to technical problems that reduce its capacity. Or, oil supply by tanker may be reduce ...
