Abstract
Around the world, there is a great concern with the emission of greenhouse gases, creating great interest in turning the energy systems more sustainable. Multi-energy systems are considered as a potential solution to help to this cause and in recent years, it has gained much attention from both research and industry. In this paper, an optimization model is proposed to use the flexibility of multi-energy systems to mitigate the uncertainty associated with wind generation. The differences between the flexibility provided by multi-energy systems and electrical storage systems in the network were studied. The results prove that the flexibility of the multi-energy systems can benefit the system in several aspects and provide insights on which is the best approach to take full advantage of renewable resources even when a high degree of uncertainty is present.

Requirements for simultaneous participation of distributed generation and interruptible loads in power market

Authors
Neyestani, N; Jadid, S;

Publication
AUPEC'09 - 19th Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference: Sustainable Energy Technologies and Systems

Abstract
This paper presents the participation of distributed generation and interruptible loads for Demand Side Management (DSM) in market environment. This contribution has two aspects, first, the technical requirements that should be implemented on these applications. Then the way DGs and ILs are offered in market and what should be included in their contracts. In this paper the above mentioned issues will be discussed and a database system will be presented by which a Disco can deal with interruptible loads and distributed generations simultaneously in its contracts.

Abstract
This paper presents a multistage transmission expansion planning (TEP) which alleviates the level of transmission congestion during the planning horizon. Due to the combinatorial nature of the proposed TEP model, a Benders decomposition approach intertwined with a manipulated disjunctive model is applied to decompose the original TEP problem into a master problem and two sub-problems standing for system security and optimal operation. The security sub-problem applying the N-1 contingency criterion to assess the transmission system security. Besides, the optimal operation sub-problem makes it possible for the proposed TEP model to fulfill the optimal operation as well as to calculate the difference between system lacational marginal prices (LMPs) for all buses. Also, this model appends a specific term into the TEP objective function as the congestion level (CL) reflecting the degree of market competitiveness. Therefore, the proposed TEP model minimizes the total costs comprising the investment cost of candidate transmission lines as well as the level of transmission congestion. The proposed approach is applied to the northeastern area of the Iranian power grid. © 2011 IEEE.
