Hierarchically-Coordinated Voltage/VAR Control of Distribution Networks Using PV Inverters

Planning of electric vehicle charging stations and distribution system with highly renewable penetrations

“…However, the large initial scenario set will considerably increase the computational cost of the scenario reduction procedure, thus decreasing the efficiency of stochastic optimisation planning. To address this issue, a recent work [17] developed a high-efficiency scenario generation (SG) method to generate a small number of representative scenarios to accurately model real-time uncertain variations from PV power generation and loads. However, it has not been used for modelling the EV charging uncertainties.…”

Local photovoltaic reactive power controller for increasing active distribution networks hosting capacity

“…Decentralised control provides several advantages like high efficiency, network losses reduction, local power grid support and the voltage profile enhancement [12, 15]. The decentralised strategies combine the advantages of centralised and distributed methods through zonal control and inter‐zonal coordination in the portioned DNs [16–18].…”

Affinely adjustable robust energy management system for smart homes

“…To deal with the uncertainty issue, stochastic programming which models the uncertainties as scenarios is applied in [9] to minimise the electricity usage bills by scheduling deferrable appliances and BESSs. Zhang and Xu [13] applied the scenario‐based stochastic optimisation with a probabilistic modelling method to address real‐time uncertainty realisation for a voltage/VAR control problem. Additionally, in [14], the robust counterpart is applied to guarantee a robust solution for the smart home EMS optimisation problem under uncertainties.…”
