Watts and Drops: Co-Scheduling Power and Water in Desalination Plants
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Audun Botterud, Saurabh Amin +1
We develop a mathematical framework to jointly schedule water and electricity in a profit-maximizing renewable colocated water desalination plant that integrates both thermal and m…
Joint Scheduling of DER under Demand Charges: Structure and Approximation
Ruixiao Yang, Gulai Shen, Ahmed S. Alahmed +1
We study the joint scheduling of behind-the-meter distributed energy resources (DERs), including flexible loads, renewable generation, and battery energy storage systems, under net…
Co-Optimizing Distributed Energy Resources under Demand Charges and Bi-Directional Power Flow
Ruixiao Yang, Gulai Shen, Ahmed S. Alahmed +1
We address the co-optimization of behind-the-meter (BTM) distributed energy resources (DER), including flexible demands, renewable distributed generation (DG), and battery energy s…
Network-Aware and Welfare-Maximizing Dynamic Pricing for Energy Sharing
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Guido Cavraro, Andrey Bernstein +1
The proliferation of behind-the-meter (BTM) distributed energy resources (DER) within the electrical distribution network presents significant supply and demand flexibilities, but…
A Decentralized Market Mechanism for Energy Communities under Operating Envelopes
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Guido Cavraro, Andrey Bernstein +1
We propose an operating envelopes (OEs) aware energy community market mechanism that dynamically charges/rewards its members based on two-part pricing. The OEs are imposed exogenou…
Resource Sharing in Energy Communities: A Cooperative Game Approach
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Lang Tong
We analyze the overall benefits of an energy community cooperative game under which distributed energy resources (DER) are shared behind a regulated distribution utility meter unde…
Operating-Envelopes-Aware Decentralized Welfare Maximization for Energy Communities
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Guido Cavraro, Andrey Bernstein +1
We propose an operating-envelope-aware, prosumer-centric, and efficient energy community that aggregates individual and shared community distributed energy resources and transacts…
Wholesale Market Participation via Competitive DER Aggregation
Cong Chen, Ahmed S. Alahmed, Timothy D. Mount +1
We consider the aggregation of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar PV, energy storage, and flexible loads, by a profit-seeking aggregator participating directly in t…
Dynamic Net Metering for Energy Communities
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Lang Tong
We propose a social welfare maximizing market mechanism for an energy community that aggregates individual and community-shared energy resources under a general net energy metering…
Co-optimizing Behind-The-Meter Resources under Net Metering
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Lang Tong
We consider the problem of co-optimizing behind-the-meter (BTM) storage and flexible demands with BTM stochastic renewable generation. Under a generalized net energy metering (NEM)…
Achieving Social Optimality for Energy Communities via Dynamic NEM Pricing
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Lang Tong
We propose a social welfare maximizing mechanism for an energy community that aggregates individual and shared community resources under a general net energy metering (NEM) policy.…
Co-Optimizing Distributed Energy Resources in Linear Complexity under Net Energy Metering
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Lang Tong, Qing Zhao
The co-optimization of behind-the-meter distributed energy resources is considered for prosumers under the net energy metering tariff. The distributed energy resources considered i…
Competitive DER Aggregation for Participation in Wholesale Markets
Cong Chen, Ahmed S. Alahmed, Timothy D. Mount +1
The problem of the large-scale aggregation of the behind-the-meter demand and generation resources by a distributed-energy-resource aggregator (DERA) is considered. As a profit-see…
Integrating Distributed Energy Resources: Optimal Prosumer Decisions and Impacts of Net Metering Tariffs
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Lang Tong
The rapid growth of the behind-the-meter (BTM) distributed generation has led to initiatives to reform the net energy metering (NEM) policies to address pressing concerns of rising…
On Net Energy Metering X: Optimal Prosumer Decisions, Social Welfare, and Cross-Subsidies
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Lang Tong
We introduce NEM X, an inclusive retail tariff model that captures features of existing net energy metering (NEM) policies. It is shown that the optimal prosumer decision has three…
Hybrid Top-Down and Bottom-Up Approach for Investigating Residential Load Compositions and Load Percentages
Ahmed S. Alahmed, Muhammed M. Almuhaini
Load points are one of the most vital parts of power systems. Due to the new load forms and programs introduced in the demand side, the load-serving entities (LSEs) no longer deal…
