Optimal Design of Hybrid AC/DC Microgrids
Hossein Lotfi, Amin Khodaei, Shay Bahramirad +1
DC loads (such as computers, data centres, electric vehicle chargers, and LED lamps) and dc distributed energy resources (such as fuel cells, solar photovoltaics, and energy storag…
Capturing Distribution Grid-Integrated Solar Variability and Uncertainty Using Microgrids
Alireza Majzoobi, Amin Khodaei, Shay Bahramirad
The variable nature of the solar generation and the inherent uncertainty in solar generation forecasts are two challenging issues for utility grids, especially as the distribution…
Levelized Cost of Energy Calculation for Energy Storage Systems
Hossein Lotfi, Alireza Majzoobi, Amin Khodaei +2
The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) presents the energy-normalized cost of a generation asset by considering all associated costs (investment and operation) and total generated ene…
Capturing the Variabilities of Distribution Network Net-Load via Available Flexibility of Microgrids
Alireza Majzoobi, Amin Khodaei, Shay Bahramirad +1
Renewable energy has attracted significant attention over the last decade, conceivably due to its environmental benefits and the recent drops in the development and deployment cost…
Distribution Market Clearing and Settlement
Sina Parhizi, Amin Khodaei, Shaghayegh Bahramirad
There are various undergoing efforts by system operators to set up an electricity market at the distribution level to enable a rapid and widespread deployment of distributed energy…
