House Thermal Model Estimation: Robustness Across Seasons and Setpoints
Kunal Shankar, Ninad Gaikwad, Anamika Dubey
Achieving the flexibility from house heating, cooling, and ventilation systems (HVAC) has the potential to enable large-scale demand response by aggregating HVAC load adjustments a…
Scalable Two-Stage Stochastic Optimal Power Flow via Separable Approximation
Shishir Lamichhane, Abodh Poudyal, Nicholas R. Jones +2
This paper proposes a Separable Projective Approximation Routine-Optimal Power Flow (SPAR-OPF) framework for solving two-stage stochastic optimization problems in power systems. Th…
Stochastic Economic Dispatch with Battery Energy Storage considering Wind and Load Uncertainty
Shishir Lamichhane, Anamika Dubey
With the integration of renewable energy resources in power systems, managing operational flexibility and reliability while minimizing operational costs has become increasingly cha…
An Open-Source Simulation and Data Management Tool for EnergyPlus Building Models
Ninad Gaikwad, Kasey Dettlaff, Athul Jose P +1
We present a new open-source, GUI-based application created using Plotly-Dash, along with an integrated PostgreSQL-based relational database, developed to streamline EnergyPlus bui…
Comparing Building Thermal Dynamics Models and Estimation Methods for Grid-Edge Applications
Ninad Gaikwad, Kunal Shankar, Anamika Dubey +2
We need computationally efficient and accurate building thermal dynamics models for use in grid-edge applications. This work evaluates two grey-box approaches for modeling building…
Smart Residential Community Simulator for Developing and Benchmarking Energy Management Systems
Ninad Gaikwad, Anamika Dubey
Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) are being actively developed for both individual houses and communities to support demand response in on-grid operation, and ensure resilience…
