Grid-aware Scheduling and Control of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations for Dispatching Active Distribution Networks: Theory and Experimental Validation

Mario Paolone, Sherif Alaa Salaheldin Fahmy

This paper proposes and experimentally validates a grid-aware scheduling and control framework for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCSs) for dispatching the operation of active distribution networks (ADNs). The framework consists of two stages. In the ...

Efficient methods for the operation of active distribution networks in unsymmetric and uncertain states

Sherif Alaa Salaheldin Fahmy

The increasing penetration of stochastic renewable distributed generation, energy storage systems and novel loads (e.g. electric-vehicles (EVs)) in active-distribution-networks (ADNs) or microgrids has triggered the need to develop real-time (e.g. minutes ...

Coordinated day-ahead dispatch of multiple power distribution grids hosting stochastic resources: An ADMM-based framework

Mario Paolone, Sherif Alaa Salaheldin Fahmy, Rahul Kumar Gupta

This work presents an optimization framework to aggregate the power and energy flexibilities in an interconnected power distribution systems. The aggregation framework is used to compute the day-ahead dispatch plans of multiple and interconnected distribut ...

Resynchronization of islanded unbalanced ADNs: Control, synchrocheck and experimental validation

Mario Paolone, Sherif Alaa Salaheldin Fahmy, Quentin Walger

The problem of securely reconnecting active distribution networks (ADNs) - e.g. microgrids - to their upstream grids at the point of common coupling (PCC) has been extensively discussed by the existing literature. The latter is commonly referred to as resy ...

Analytical Computation of Power Grids’ Sensitivity Coefficients with Voltage-Dependent Injections

Mario Paolone, Sherif Alaa Salaheldin Fahmy

With the increasing need of real-time regulation in power systems, grid-aware-control-frameworks are relying more often on sensitivity coefficients (SCs) to formulate and efficiently solve optimal control problems. As known, SCs are the derivatives of cont ...

Experimental Validation of the Real-Time Control of an Electric-Vehicle Charging Station

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Sherif Alaa Salaheldin Fahmy, Roman Rudnik

The high penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) charging stations (CSs), together with the progressive availability of distributed energy resources, increases the risk of grid overloading and power-quality degradation. Real-time control has been advocated ...

Grid-aware distributed control of electric vehicle charging stations in active distribution grids

Mario Paolone, Sherif Alaa Salaheldin Fahmy, Rahul Kumar Gupta

The penetration of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations (CSs), along with the progressive connection of stochastic distributed generation, is increasing the probability of violating the power distribution grid operational constraints and deteriorate the ...
