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.

Abstract
The multi-energy systems (MES) contain key resources driving the evolution of the future systems. Various components and convertors that are available in a MES make it operationally flexible and a potential source to be deployed in system operation. Like any other resources in the system, the flexibility brought by MES needs to be fairly valued. One of the approaches is through market participation of these resources. In this regard, new agents and trade system need to be defined. This paper studies the interactions of a multi-energy aggregator on various trade levels defined within the multi-energy paradigm. The levels include the upstream multi-energy markets as well as local energy trades such as local resources and flexible demand. The results discuss the increased level of profit due to the availability of multi-energy trade to the aggregator.

Abstract
The coordination of various energy vectors under the concept of multi-energy system (MES) has introduced new sources of operational flexibility to system managers. In this paper, the behavior of multi-energy players (MEP) who can trade with more than one energy carrier to maximize their profits and mitigate their operational risks has been investigated. The MES is represented based on a multilayer structure, namely the energy market, MEP, the local energy system (LES), and multi-energy demand. In such environment, an MEP aggregates LES and participates in the wholesale electricity market, simultaneously to maximize its profit. The decision-making conflict of the MEP with other energy players for the aggregation of LES and participation in the electricity market is modeled based on a bilevel approach. Numerical results show the behavior of the MEP as a prosumer in the electricity market to produce smoother demand and price profiles. Results reveal a mutual effect of local and wholesale equilibrium prices by increasing the share of the MEP.

Abstract
The introduction of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in the electrical system is bringing various challenges. The main issue is incorporating the PEV owner's preferences in the models. One of the main attributes representing the preference of the owners is their travel purposes, impacting on the traffic flow pattern. The PEVs' traffic pattern defines the required charging schedule of the PEVs, and consequently, characterizes the operation of the charging facilities such as PEV parking lots (PLs). The deployment of resources such as PEV PL requires a detailed modeling of the factors affecting their operation. In this regard, this paper aims to model the power flow of the PEVs based on their traffic flow. Different travel types and purposes are considered for the PEVs traffic modeling. Two types of charging infrastructure (i.e., PLs and individual charging stations) are considered. The study is performed on a distribution network categorized based on the consumption patterns of the zones.
