Optimal Power Flow in Four-Wire Distribution Networks: Formulation and Benchmarking
Sander Claeys, Frederik Geth, Geert Deconinck
In recent years, several applications have been proposed in the context of distribution networks. Many of these can be formulated as an optimal power flow problem, a mathematical o…
A Comprehensive Multi-Period Optimal Power Flow Framework for Smart LV Networks
Iason-Iraklis Avramidis, Florin Capitanescu, Geert Deconinck
This paper presents an extensive multi-period optimal power flow framework, with new modelling elements, for smart LV distribution systems that rely on residential flexibility for…
Optimal Combination of Frequency Control and Peak Shaving with Battery Storage Systems
Jonas Engels, Bert Claessens, Geert Deconinck
Combining revenue streams by providing multiple services with battery storage systems increases profitability and enhances the investment case. In this work, we present a novel opt…
Grid-Constrained Distributed Optimization for Frequency Control with Low-Voltage Flexibility
Jonas Engels, Bert Claessens, Geert Deconinck
Providing frequency control services with flexible assets connected to the low-voltage distribution grid, amongst which residential battery storage or electrical hot water boilers,…
Techno-Economic Analysis and Optimal Control of Battery Storage for Frequency Control Services, Applied to the German Market
Jonas Engels, Bert Claessens, Geert Deconinck
Optimal investment in battery energy storage systems, taking into account degradation, sizing and control, is crucial for the deployment of battery storage, of which providing freq…
Combined Stochastic Optimization of Frequency Control and Self-Consumption with a Battery
Jonas Engels, Bert Claessens, Geert Deconinck
Optimally combining frequency control with self-consumption can increase revenues from battery storage systems installed behind-the-meter. This work presents an optimized control s…
Direct Load Control of Thermostatically Controlled Loads Based on Sparse Observations Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Frederik Ruelens, Bert J. Claessens, Peter Vrancx +2
This paper considers a demand response agent that must find a near-optimal sequence of decisions based on sparse observations of its environment. Extracting a relevant set of featu…
A Fault-tolerance Linguistic Structure for Distributed Applications
Vincenzo De Florio
The structures for the expression of fault-tolerance provisions into the application software are the central topic of this dissertation. Structuring techniques provide means to co…
An Algorithm for Tolerating Crash Failures in Distributed Systems
Vincenzo De Florio, Geert Deconinck, Rudy Lauwereins
In the framework of the ESPRIT project 28620 "TIRAN" (tailorable fault tolerance frameworks for embedded applications), a toolset of error detection, isolation, and recovery compon…
An Application-Level Dependable Technique for Farmer-Worker Parallel Programs
Vincenzo De Florio, Geert Deconinck, Rudy Lauwereins
An application-level technique is described for farmer-worker parallel applications which allows a worker to be added or removed from the computing farm at any moment of the run ti…
A Hypermedia Distributed Application for Monitoring and Fault-Injection in Embedded Fault-tolerant Parallel Programs
Vincenzo De Florio, G. Deconinck, M. Truyens +2
We describe a distributed, multimedia application which is being developed in the framework of the ESPRIT-IV Project 21012 EFTOS (Embedded Fault-Tolerant Supercomputing). The appli…
The EFTOS Voting Farm: A Software Tool for Fault Masking in Message Passing Parallel Environments
Vincenzo De Florio, Greet Deconinck, Rudy Lauwereins
We present a set of C functions implementing a distributed software voting mechanism for EPX or similar message passing environments, and we place it within the EFTOS framework (Em…
A practical approach to ontology-enabled control systems for astronomical instrumentation
Wim Pessemier, Gert Raskin, Hans Van Winckel +2
Even though modern service-oriented and data-oriented architectures promise to deliver loosely coupled control systems, they are inherently brittle as they commonly depend on a pri…
Critical Utility Infrastructural Resilience
Giovanna Dondossola, Geert Deconinck, Felicita Di Giandomenico +3
The paper refers to CRUTIAL, CRitical UTility InfrastructurAL Resilience, a European project within the research area of Critical Information Infrastructure Protection, with a spec…
