Comparing Generator Unavailability Models with Empirical Distributions from Open Energy Datasets
Matthew Deakin, David Greenwood, David J. Brayshaw +1
The modelling of power station outages is an integral part of power system planning. In this work, models of the unavailability of the fleets of eight countries in Northwest Europe…
Optimization-based modelling and game-theoretic framework for techno-economic analysis of demand-side flexibility: a real case study
Timur Sayfutdinov, Charalampos Patsios, David Greenwood +2
This paper proposes a two-step framework for techno-economic analysis of a demand-side flexibility service in distribution networks. Step one applies optimization-based modelling t…
Hybrid Open Points: an Efficient Tool for Increasing Network Capacity in Distribution Systems
Matthew Deakin, Ilias Sarantakos, David M. Greenwood +4
This letter introduces the Hybrid Open Point (HOP), a device consisting of an electromechanical switch connected in parallel with a power converter, for the purpose of providing ad…
Impacts of Heat Decarbonisation on System Adequacy considering Increased Meteorological Sensitivity
Matthew Deakin, Hannah Bloomfield, David Greenwood +3
This paper explores the impacts of decarbonisation of heat on demand and subsequently on the generation capacity required to secure against system adequacy standards. Gas demand is…
Hybrid European MV-LV Network Models for Smart Distribution Network Modelling
Matthew Deakin, David Greenwood, Sara Walker +1
A pair of European-style, integrated MV-LV circuits are presented, created by combining generic MV and real LV networks. The two models have 86,000 and 113,000 nodes, and are made…
Calculations of System Adequacy Considering Heat Transition Pathways
Matthew Deakin, Sarah Sheehy, David M. Greenwood +2
The decarbonisation of heat in developed economies represents a significant challenge, with increased penetration of electrical heating technologies potentially leading to unpreced…
