Weather-Driven Flexibility Reserve Procurement: A NYISO Offshore Wind Power Case Study
Zhirui Liang, Robert Mieth, Yury Dvorkin +1
The growing penetration of variable renewable energy sources (VRES) requires additional flexibility reserve to ensure reliable power system operations. Current industry practice ty…
Operating Dynamic Reserve Dimensioning Using Probabilistic Forecasts
Napoleon Costilla-Enriquez, Miguel Ortega-Vazquez, Aidan Tuohy +2
The rapid integration of variable energy sources (VRES) into power grids increases variability and uncertainty of the net demand, making the power system operation challenging. Ope…
Risk-Aware Dimensioning and Procurement of Contingency Reserve
Robert Mieth, Yury Dvorkin, Miguel A. Ortega-Vazquez
Current contingency reserve criteria ignore the likelihood of individual contingencies and, thus, their impact on system reliability and risk. This paper develops an iterative appr…
Planning Low-Carbon Campus Energy Hubs
Daniel J. Olsen, Ning Zhang, Chongqing Kang +2
Multi-energy systems can provide a constant level of service to end-use energy demands, while deriving delivered energy from a variety of primary/secondary energy sources. This fue…
Optimal Carbon Taxes for Emissions Targets in the Electricity Sector
Daniel J. Olsen, Yury Dvorkin, Ricardo Fernández-Blanco +1
The most dangerous effects of anthropogenic climate change can be mitigated by using emissions taxes or other regulatory interventions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Thi…
Tractable and Robust Modeling of Building Flexibility Using Coarse Data
Jesus E. Contreras-Ocaña, Miguel A. Ortega-Vazquez, Daniel Kirschen +1
Controllable building loads have the potential to increase the flexibility of power systems. A key step in developing effective and attainable load control policies is modeling the…
Participation of an Energy Storage Aggregator in Electricity Markets
Jesus E. Contreras-Ocana, Miguel A. Ortega-Vazquez, Baosen Zhang
An important function of aggregators is to enable the participation of small energy storage units in electricity markets. This paper studies two generally overlooked aspects relate…
Cooperation and Competition among Energy Storages
Jesus E. Contreras-Ocaña, Miguel A. Ortega-Vazquez, Baosen Zhang
We study competition and cooperation among a group of storage units. We show that as the number of storages increases, the profit of storages approaches zero under Nash competition…
