“…Our conventional energy networks have been designed and controlled in a way to support unidirectional flow of electricity and information from centralized large power generation units toward the end-use passive consumers, while the SMG relies more on bidirectional communication between consumers, suppliers and smart devices. The flow of energy across the network is also based on a mesh-grid structure rather than a unidirectional top-down system [6].…”

“…A SMG can realize existing overloads throughout the network and has the ability to reconfigure the network so as to impede potential outages. It is a base that enables active participation of und-users as informed consumers, accommodates all energy generation and storage options, advocates advanced products, markets or services, enables high penetration of intermittent sources, optimizes assets, resists attacks, and provides the energy quality for the range of needs in a digital economy [6,9,10].…”

Nowadays with the emerging of small-scale integrated energy systems IESs in form of residential smart microgrids SMGs , a large portion of energy can be saved through coordinated scheduling of smart household devices and management of distributed energy resources DERs . There are significant potentials to increase the functionality of a typical demand-side management DSM strategy, and typical implementation of building-level DERs by integrating them into a cohesive, networked package that fully utilizes smart energy-efficient end-use devices, advanced building control/automation systems, and an integrated communications architecture to efficiently manage energy and comfort at the end-use location. "y the aid of such technologies, residential consumers have also the capability to mitigate their energy costs and satisfy their own requirements paying less attention to the configuration of the energy supply system. Regarding these points, this chapter initially defines an efficient framework for coordinated DSM and DERs management in an integrated building and SMG system. Then a working energy management system EMS for applications in residential IESs is described and mathematically modeled. Finally, the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed model is tested and validated in different operating modes compared to the existing models. The findings of this chapter show that by the use of an expert EMS that coordinates supply and demand sides simultaneously, it is very possible not only to reduce energy costs of a residential IES, but also to provide comfortable lifestyle for occupants.

Abstract-Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are becoming a key feature of smart grids. PEVs will be embedded in the network as a mobile load-storage with probabilistic behavior. In order to manage PEVs as flexible loads, charging stations (CSs) have essential roles. In this paper, a new method for optimal sitting and sizing of solar CSs using energy storage (ES) options is presented. Also, behavior of PEVs in the presence of other loads, electricity price and solar power generation uncertainties are considered. The proposed optimization model maximizes the distribution company (DisCo) benefit by appropriate use of CSs, maximizes the benefit of CSs owners and minimizes the power loss, load demand and voltage sags during peak times considering different technical constraints. The optimization variables are the location and capacity of CSs (consists of solar units and energy storage systems). In this paper, charge-discharge actions of PEVs are regulated based on time-of-use demand response programs. In order to solve the optimization problem considering uncertainty of load growth, number of EVs, electricity price, initial state of charge in PEV batteries and solar power generation, genetic algorithm method using Monte-Carlo simulation is used. The simulation results show that the proposed method has several advantages for DisCo and owners of CSs.

Electricity Generation in Saudi Arabia: Tracing Opportunities and Challenges to Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

et al. 2021

The electrical energy demand of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has been observing a surging growth due to high population growth and urbanization rate. The generation mostly comes from the burning of petroleum products. The electricity sector emits more than one-third of the national greenhouse gas (GHG) of the country. Thus, it is essential to reduce the GHG from the electricity generation sector to maintain sustainability. This article mainly concentrates on the existing electricity generation and focuses on the Kingdom's GHG emissions mitigation initiatives. Although the use of natural gas and the number of cogeneration plants have been increased in electricity generation, the country has also been focusing on other initiatives, including the adaptation of combined cycle power plants, carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS), renewable and alternative energy sources, and various utility-scale energy efficiency measures. The ambitious and inspirational renewable energy (RE) targets of the Saudi Vision 2030 will significantly facilitate GHG emission avoidance, which will support the Kingdom to meet its Nationally Determined Contributions. This article recommends various mitigation measures, including the usage of the efficient internal combustion engine, poly-generation, combined heat and power (CHP) systems, deployment of renewable resources in the distribution and microgrid systems, bio-mass engine, and ocean thermal energy conversion plants. The decision-makers and the researchers will find the discussions and recommendations helpful in determining suitable and appropriate mitigation initiatives and technologies.INDEX TERMS Carbon capture, climate change mitigation, electricity generation, greenhouse gas emissions, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, renewable energy, review.
