In most running implementations, Renewable Energy Communities aggregate consumers who share the use of renewable energy with the goal of reducing environmental impact. Each member, connected to the power grid via a single Point of Delivery, should optimize their consumption in order to achieve the community’s goal. However a comprehensive knowledge of the production capacities and consumption profiles of all members is required. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a distributed load scheduling method based on Game-Theory that achieves an optimal balance between individual and collective goals while preserving privacy and enabling energy services provision. The method distributes the computational workload among all users, making it feasible to implement on low-cost hardware devices. In addition, the method allows users to choose their own preferences regarding overall community goals. The proposed approach was evaluated in two case studies, showing that in a few iterations of the game, users reach an optimal equilibrium that not only maximizes individual profits but also satisfies community goals, without the need to share sensitive data.

Renewable electricity generation is volatile and requires flexibility in energy conversion and storage. In the residential sector, this flexibility can be incentivized by time-varying electricity prices. Recent literature has already investigated how a home energy management system (HEMS) can adapt residential electricity consumption to time-varying prices by controlling heat pumps or electric vehicles. Although the communication protocols of these devices can constrain their flexibility, none of the research has considered these influences yet. Thus, the novelty of the current study lies in quantifying the impact of real-world communication protocols on the performance of a cost-optimizing HEMS. For this, a HEMS system with a heat pump, electric vehicle, photovoltaic (PV) plant, and battery energy storage system is modeled. The HEMS uses a two-layer architecture to separate the communication protocol and the control strategy. The device communication layer abstracts the communication to the devices. The control layer uses a model predictive controller to minimize the total electricity costs of the system. To compare different communication protocols, a HEMS is simulated over one year using various consumption price offsets, system configurations, and packet loss probabilities. Results show that heat pumps can achieve the highest savings via Modbus direct load control with up to 6.3 % of the baseline costs. For electric vehicles, ISO 15118–20 shows the highest savings with up to 38.8 %, including battery degradation. However, the savings decrease as the consumption price offset increases.

With the increasing penetration of renewable energy (RE) in power systems, the electricity spot market has become increasingly uncertain, presenting significant challenges for generation companies (GenCos) in formulating effective bidding strategies. Most existing studies assume that GenCos act as perfectly rational decision makers, overlooking the impact of irrational bidding behaviors in uncertain market environments. To address this, we model GenCo decision-making with prospect theory (PT) and formulate a bilevel stochastic model for strategic bidding in the spot market. We further propose a distributional reinforcement learning (DistRL) framework to learn risk-aware bidding policies for bounded rational GenCo. The framework is validated on a 27-bus system from eastern China. Across 16 uncertainty scenarios with RE penetration ranging from 5 % to 80 %, our DistRL agent consistently achieves higher average returns and lower volatility than Deep Q-Network (DQN), Double DQN (DDQN), and prioritized experience replay DQN (PER-DQN) in every scenario. When integrating a gated recurrent unit (GRU) network, performance improves further, accompanied by a limited increase in training time. These results indicate that aligning DistRL with bounded rational preferences yields more robust bidding under market uncertainty.

The increasing penetration of volatile renewables and growing electricity demand pose several challenges for power systems. Simultaneously, flexible devices – so called distributed energy resources (DER) – are becoming more widespread, making them attractive for providing ancillary services. The flexibility of a single device can be represented by a set of reference power profiles, and the flexibility of multiple devices by the summation of individual flexibility sets. However, set addition, also known as the Minkowski sum, is usually computationally intractable. This has led to the development of various approximation methods in the literature. The current study improves upon our previously published vertex-based inner approximation, by extending it to more general storage devices and hierarchical aggregation settings. We validate the efficacy and accuracy of the proposed method through case studies using real data and provide the source code of the algorithm as a Python package that enables the (dis-)aggregation of various flexible devices in real-world scenarios.

Power System Wide-area monitoring systems (WAMS) rely on high-resolution phasor measurement unit (PMU) data to enable real-time situational awareness and oscillation mode analyses. However, the integrity and availability of PMU data are increasingly threatened by communication failures, sensor malfunctions, and sophisticated adversarial attacks, leading to missing entries and corrupted measurements that can undermine conventional modal estimation techniques. This paper presents a robust algorithm for electromechanical mode identification that leverages advanced low-rank and delay-structured recovery methods to accurately extract system modes even when PMU datasets are severely degraded by both random missing data and adversarial corruption. The proposed approach is systematically evaluated under extreme scenarios with up to 70 % missing data and 25 % bad data, far exceeding the stress conditions considered in most prior studies. The proposed method was benchmarked against the three most widely used techniques in power system analysis: Prony, Matrix Pencil (MP), and Eigensystem Realization Algorithm (ERA). Results on real-world WAMS datasets demonstrate that the proposed method substantially outperforms these established algorithms in the presence of adversarial data, ensuring reliable mode estimation.

Long-duration energy storage (LDES) plays a crucial role in ensuring the stability of high-penetration renewable energy systems. However, its application in off-grid microgrids has not been comprehensively examined, particularly in multi-scenario analyses. This study develops a linear programming model for various scenarios to investigate the application prospects of LDES in off-grid microgrids powered solely by photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine (WT), or a hybrid of both. The results show that in all scenarios, microgrid systems using LDES achieve lower costs than those with short-duration energy storage (SDES), demonstrating its advantages. Among different configurations, the photovoltaic-wind-hydrogen (PV-WT-HYD) system has the lowest cost, reducing expenses by 46.61 % compared to the most expensive lithium-ion storage. In terms of resource attributes, wind power better leverages the economic advantages of LDES. Specifically, during the transition from SDES to LDES, WT-LDES microgrids achieve cost reductions 46.94 % faster than PV-LDES microgrids. Furthermore, from a policy perspective, the northern China, southeast coastal region, and central China offer favorable conditions for developing PV-WT-HYD off-grid microgrids due to abundant wind and photovoltaic resources, lower hydrogen production costs, and suitable hydrogen storage conditions. Thus, targeted policies could be introduced to facilitate the adoption and development of LDES.

In this paper an investigation on energy loss calculations in underground cable systems of onshore wind farms is performed by taking into consideration the cable resistance temperature-dependency. Two temperature-dependent power flow models have been developed on the basis of the IEC 60287 and the IEC 60853 electrothermal modelling approaches. Quasi-static simulations are conducted over an one year horizon of operation of two real-world onshore wind farms by using the two temperature-dependent models, as well as conventional power flow analysis, where the cable resistances are assumed constant; significant differences are obtained under specific cases. The potential reduction in annual losses is also quantified in monetary terms. The impact of several important parameters on the estimation of the wind farm power losses is investigated; these include the soil thermal resistivity and diffusivity as well as the ambient temperature. The findings of this study serve as a valuable resource for wind farm owners, helping to evaluate the efficiency and profitability of their investment.

The increasing deployment of photovoltaic systems, electric vehicles, and other distributed energy resources introduces significant operational challenges in low-voltage (LV) unbalanced distribution networks. This paper presents a holistic and scalable framework for hosting capacity (HC) assessment and management, combining time-series Nodal Hosting Capacity (NHC) analysis with Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) to evaluate generation and consumption limits under realistic, time-varying conditions. The methodology accounts for unbalanced network conditions. These include negative- and zero-sequence voltage unbalance and neutral current constraints. The framework is implemented as a performance-optimized, user-centered software tool for Distribution System Operators (DSOs). It offers high computational efficiency, dynamic visualizations, and an interactive interface to support decision-making. The impact of flexibility mechanisms, such as coordinated electric vehicle charging, is also demonstrated, showing their potential to reduce violations and enhance HC. The framework is validated on a real European LV network. It enables DSOs to manage HC as a dynamic operational resource, improving interconnection processes, network utilization, and planning transparency.

India’s power grid continues to face high distribution losses, outdated infrastructure, and uneven supply reliability, underscoring the need for decentralized energy solutions. While existing peer-to-peer (P2P) trading models demonstrate potential, they often rely on simplified pricing schemes, lack robust forecasting, and provide limited community engagement. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a User-Interfaced Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading System (UIETS) for low-voltage residential communities, validated in Malligai Homes, Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Unlike prior frameworks, the proposed system uniquely integrates (i) a Smart Residential Energy Management System (SREMS) employing Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models for simultaneous load and solar forecasting, (ii) a community-specific Online Energy Trading Scheme (OETS) portal that actively engages prosumers and consumers, and (iii) Local Community Market Operators (LCMOs) who execute a Periodic Double Auction Pool (PDAP) to determine a fair and computationally efficient Transactive Clearing Price (TCP). Real-time validation shows 30–35 % lower purchase costs for households and 25–35 % higher revenues for prosumers compared to grid-only operation, outperforming existing auction- and optimization-based models. Beyond cost savings, the UIETS enhances renewable adoption, transparency, and scalability, offering a novel, community-driven framework for decentralized transactive energy management aligned with global energy transition goals.

Economically sustainable operation of microgrid systems helps with transition of energy sector towards renewable energy sources. This paper presents a comprehensive energy management framework for microgrids, integrating advanced control methodologies with practical deployment considerations. The proposed framework employs a layered control structure, focusing on the energy management layer that utilizes a scenario-based model predictive control (MPC) approach to address uncertainties using a risk measure in microgrid systems. A novel two-stage MPC method is introduced to enhance computational efficiency, combining stochastic and deterministic MPC. The software architecture is designed for scalability, consciously managing cloud-based resources for computationally demanding tasks while maintaining local control for real-time operations. The framework supports modular microgrid composition, revenue stacking, and delivers profit generation by optimizing multiple revenue streams, including energy arbitrage, peak-shaving, and imbalance settlement. The framework is validated through a case study of a commercial microgrid with photovoltaic power plant accompanied by a large-scale battery energy storage, demonstrating significant economic benefits and operational reliability. The results highlight the framework’s competence in making microgrid operation profitable.

This paper presents a comprehensive energy management framework for microgrids, integrating advanced control methodologies with practical deployment considerations. The proposed framework employs a layered control structure, focusing on the energy management layer that utilizes a scenario-based model predictive control (MPC) approach to address uncertainties using a risk measure in microgrid systems. A novel two-stage MPC method is introduced to enhance computational efficiency, combining stochastic and deterministic MPC. The software architecture is designed for scalability, consciously managing cloud-based resources for computationally demanding tasks while maintaining local control for real-time operations. The framework supports modular microgrid composition, revenue stacking, and delivers profit generation by optimizing multiple revenue streams, including energy arbitrage, peak-shaving, and imbalance settlement. The framework is validated through a case study of a commercial microgrid with photovoltaic power plant accompanied by a large-scale battery energy storage, demonstrating significant economic benefits and operational reliability. The results highlight the framework’s competence in making microgrid operation profitable.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56142,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Energy Grids & Networks","volume":"44 ","pages":"Article 102028"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145465203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
