Profitable Emissions-Reducing Energy Storage
Daniel J. Olsen, Daniel S. Kirschen
While energy arbitrage from energy storage can lower power system operating costs, it can also increase greenhouse gas emissions. If power system operations are conducted with the…
Post-disaster Repair Scheduling in Partially Automated Electricity Distribution Networks
Yushi Tan, Arindam K. Das, Payman Arabshahi +1
Natural disasters require repairing all damaged components in electricity distribution networks. Optimal scheduling repair crews to minimize the aggregate duration of interruptions…
Sharing Energy Storage Between Transmission and Distribution
Ryan Elliott, Ricardo Fernandez-Blanco, Kelly Kozdras +4
This paper addresses the problem of how best to coordinate, or `stack,' energy storage services in systems that lack centralized markets. Specifically, its focus is on how to coord…
Planning Low-Carbon Campus Energy Hubs
Daniel J. Olsen, Ning Zhang, Chongqing Kang +2
Multi-energy systems can provide a constant level of service to end-use energy demands, while deriving delivered energy from a variety of primary/secondary energy sources. This fue…
Controlled Islanding via Weak Submodularity
Zhipeng Liu, Andrew Clark, Linda Bushnell +2
Cascading failures typically occur following a large disturbance in power systems, such as tripping of a generating unit or a transmission line. Such failures can propagate and des…
Tractable and Robust Modeling of Building Flexibility Using Coarse Data
Jesus E. Contreras-Ocaña, Miguel A. Ortega-Vazquez, Daniel Kirschen +1
Controllable building loads have the potential to increase the flexibility of power systems. A key step in developing effective and attainable load control policies is modeling the…
Accurate Semidefinite Programming Models for Optimal Power Flow in Distribution Systems
Zeyu Wang, Daniel S. Kirschen, Baosen Zhang
In this paper, we develop semidefinite programming (SDP) models aimed at solving optimal power flow (OPF) problems in distribution systems. We propose two models: the symmetrical S…
Minimal Input Selection for Robust Control
Zhipeng Liu, Yao Long, Andrew Clark +4
This paper studies the problem of selecting a minimum-size set of input nodes to guarantee stability of a networked system in the presence of uncertainties and time delays. Current…
Distribution Systems Hardening against Natural Disasters
Yushi Tan, Arindam K. Das, Payman Arabshahi +1
Distribution systems are often crippled by catastrophic damage caused by a natural disaster. Well-designed hardening can significantly improve the performance of post-disaster rest…
Optimal Battery Participation in Frequency Regulation Markets
Bolun Xu, Yuanyuan Shi, Daniel S. Kirschen +1
Battery participants in performance-based frequency regulation markets must consider the cost of battery aging in their operating strategies to maximize market profits. In this pap…
Optimal Battery Control Under Cycle Aging Mechanisms in Pay for Performance Settings
Yuanyuan Shi, Bolun Xu, Yushi Tan +2
We study the optimal control of battery energy storage under a general "pay-for-performance" setup such as providing frequency regulation and renewable integration. In these settin…
An Online Optimization Algorithm for Alleviating Contingencies in Transmission Networks
Nicolo Mazzi, Baosen Zhang, Daniel S. Kirschen
Power systems are increasingly operated in corrective rather than preventive security mode, which means that appropriate control actions must be taken immediately after a contingen…
Factoring the Cycle Aging Cost of Batteries Participating in Electricity Markets
Bolun Xu, Jinye Zhao, Tongxin Zheng +2
When participating in electricity markets, owners of battery energy storage systems must bid in such a way that their revenues will at least cover their true cost of operation. Sin…
Optimal Regulation Response of Batteries Under Cycle Aging Mechanisms
Bolun Xu, Yuanyuan Shi, Daniel S. Kirschen +1
When providing frequency regulation in a pay-for-performance market, batteries need to carefully balance the trade-off between following regulation signals and their degradation co…
Impact of Local Transmission Congestion on Energy Storage Arbitrage Opportunities
Yishen Wang, Yury Dvorkin, Ricardo Fernández-Blanco +2
Reduced installation and operating costs give energy storage systems an opportunity to participate actively and profitably in electricity markets. In addition to providing ancillar…
Scheduling Post-Disaster Repairs in Electricity Distribution Networks
Yushi Tan, Feng Qiu, Arindam K. Das +3
Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and large wind or ice storms, typically require the repair of a large number of components in electricity distribution networks.…
Scalable Planning for Energy Storage in Energy and Reserve Markets
Bolun Xu, Yishen Wang, Yury Dvorkin +4
Energy storage can facilitate the integration of renewable energy resources by providing arbitrage and ancillary services. Jointly optimizing energy and ancillary services in a cen…
A Comparison of Policies on the Participation of Storage in U.S. Frequency Regulation Markets
Bolun Xu, Yury Dvorkin, Daniel S. Kirschen +2
Because energy storage systems have better ramping characteristics than traditional generators, their participation in frequency regulation should facilitate the balancing of load…
