Various scenarios were considered in this context to compare the performance of the proposed algorithm under voltage and current capacity constraints. Furthermore, a detailed validation via comparison of the results is being carried out with other methods from the exhaustive literature. The proposed algorithm reduces the APL by 63.13%, 56.19%, and 34.27% with DNR in IEEE 33, 69 and 118-bus systems. Similarly, APL reduction by 69.61%, 82.09%, and 36.08% with DNR considering DGs simultaneously.

However, the performance of the implemented battery energy storage system (BESS) to prevent voltage rise under that high penetration condition was unclear because the previous penetration models did not consider the intermittency and variability characteristics of the penetration due to their model simplifications. Therefore, this research proposes a BESS control scheme to mitigate impermissible voltage rises by considering the penetration characteristics of intermittency and variability. As a result, the proposed model outperformed the previous model by providing a more complete representation of the actual penetration issues, and thus the expected contribution of the BESS control scheme in reducing voltage rises could be provided.","PeriodicalId":14406,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Energy","volume":"41 1","pages":"2150 - 2168"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47458275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a bottom-up model and four scenarios were developed for examining scenarios for the decarbonisation of the residential building by 2050. A comparative analysis of energy consumption, GHG emissions, and investment cost was performed. The result showed that building energy performance improvement and heating fuel electrification are key measures for decarbonisation. We concluded that an investment of KRW 6.2 trillion per year would be required to achieve the 2050 decarbonisation scenario. Policy strategies were proposed for increasing investment in accelerating building retrofit, mandating zero-energy building (ZEB), and prohibiting gas boilers.","PeriodicalId":14406,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Energy","volume":"41 1","pages":"1888 - 1902"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45477549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
