From Net Load Modifiers to Firm Capacity: The Role of Distributed Energy Resources in Resource Adequacy
Yujia Li, Alexandre Moreira, Miguel Heleno
Distributed energy resources (DERs) such as rooftop solar, batteries, demand response, and electric vehicles can contribute to power system reliability, yet their performance is di…
Time Window-Based Netload Range Cost Curves for Coordinated Transmission and Distribution Planning Under Uncertainty
Yujia Li, Alexandre Moreira, Miguel Heleno
Mechanisms to coordinate transmission and distribution planning should be regulatory compliant and keep the spheres of DSO and TSO decisions separate, without requiring disclosure…
Selecting Critical Scenarios of DER Adoption in Distribution Grids Using Bayesian Optimization
Olivier Mulkin, Miguel Heleno, Mike Ludkovski
We develop a new methodology to select scenarios of DER adoption most critical for distribution grids. Anticipating risks of future voltage and line flow violations due to addition…
Energy Justice and Equity: A Review of Definitions, Measures, and Practice in Policy, Planning, and Operations
Weihang Ren, Yongpei Guan, Feng Qiu +2
Energy justice, at the intersection of energy and societal ethics, studies the origins, quantification, and resolution of persistent and potential inequities within the energy sect…
State-wise Economic Viability of Long-Duration Energy Storage Systems in the United States
Alexandre Moreira, Patricia Silva, Miguel Heleno +1
Long-duration energy storage (LDES) assets can be fundamental resources for the next-generation power systems. However, LDES technologies are still immature and their future techno…
