Identifying Best Candidates for Busbar Splitting
Giacomo Bastianel, Dirk Van Hertem, Hakan Ergun +1
Rising electricity demand and the growing integration of renewables are intensifying congestion in transmission grids. Grid topology optimization through busbar splitting (BuS) and…
Identification of Technical Design Constraints and Considerations for Transmission Grid Expansion Planning Projects
Giacomo Bastianel, Clement Hardy, Nils Charels +2
The large-scale deployment of renewable energy sources, particularly offshore wind, requires large-scale transmission grid expansion projects to transmit the produced low-carbon po…
Optimal Transmission Switching and Busbar Splitting in Hybrid AC/DC Grids
Giacomo Bastianel, Marta Vanin, Dirk Van Hertem +1
Driven by global climate goals, an increasing amount of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is currently being installed worldwide. Especially in the context of offshore wind integratio…
Security-Constrained AC/DC Grid Optimal Power Flow Considering Asymmetrical HVDC Grid Operation using Sparse Tableau Formulation
Oscar Damanik, Giacomo Bastianel, Dirk Van Hertem +1
This paper presents a security-constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) model for HVDC grids that optimizes the asymmetrical operation of bipolar converter stations, i.e., different…
Day-Ahead Transmission Grid Topology Optimization Considering Renewable Energy Sources' Uncertainty
Giacomo Bastianel, Dirk Van Hertem, Hakan Ergun +1
The increasing renewable penetration introduces significant uncertainty in power system operations. At the same time, the existing transmission grid is often already congested, and…
Review, Definition and Challenges of Electrical Energy Hubs
Giacomo Bastianel, Jan Kircheis, Merijn Van Deyck +6
To transition towards a carbon-neutral power system, considerable amounts of renewable energy generation capacity are being installed in the North Sea area. Consequently, projects…
