The aim of this paper is to propose a method to generate design and control recommendations to increase the energy flexibility of buildings based on open source computer simulations. The proposed method uses OpenModelica and the building component library of the IBPSA project to generate a building model. The method has been tested using a case study. The values of specific parameters with high influence on energy flexibility have been modified and the results of the changes on the energy flexibility KPIs have been measured. The results are presented in three different possible visualisations. The lessons learned from the process of applying the method have been used to outline a possible future energy flexibility analysis tool.","PeriodicalId":165790,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Future Energy Solutions (FES)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114548394","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}

Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-objective stochastic strategy for DSP that considers non-utility-owned renewable DG. Under this approach, the utility makes investment decisions for assets such as conductors and voltage control equipment. Furthermore, the utilization of a multi-objective approach enables a sensitivity analysis, which assists both the utility and DG owner in reaching a consensus on the type, size, and location of renewable DG units. The strategy proposes minimizing the net present value of the investment and operational costs for both parties, with the additional goal of reducing the cost of CO2 emissions from the network. A scenario-based stochastic programming framework is used to characterize the behavior of uncertain parameters. The model is written in the AMPL language and solved using the CPLEX solver. Tests are conducted using a 69-node system, revealing that the total costs for both parties vary depending on the size and location of the DG as well as the cost of energy sold from the DG to the network.","PeriodicalId":165790,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Future Energy Solutions (FES)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123315899","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}

And two key steps to accurately realize STLF process are the utilization of relevant historical data from similar days and the revision of forecasting errors. However, the current STLF methods solely rely on weather similarity as a parameter for identifying similar days, leading to imprecise outcomes when predicting loads that are less susceptible to weather-related variables. Furthermore, the existing error revising methods are insufficient in feature extraction of high frequency fluctuation error series, which limits the further improvement of accuracy. To this end, this paper proposed a two-stage STLF approach. Firstly, the concept of comprehensive similar day is constructed. Based on numerical weather prediction (NWP) and load sequential characteristics, the comprehensive similar day of the time period to be forecasted (TPF) are selected by morphological similar distance (MSD). Secondly, the load data of comprehensive similarity days will be input into long short-term memory (LSTM) as extra information to get preliminary load forecasting results. Finally, the error correction model based on complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and XGBoost is proposed for a further enhancement in accuracy. The validity of the proposed STLF method is verified by using the data set from Ausgrid in Sydney. Compared to directly using LSTM for prediction, the proposed method achieved 2.78% and 6.16% improvement in the accuracy of hour-ahead and day-ahead load forecasting.","PeriodicalId":165790,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Future Energy Solutions (FES)","volume":"310 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115027577","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}

With the increasing awareness for a stable future, environmentally renewable sources of electricity production have seen a major uprise in latest years. Along with its inherent benefits, this increase in penetration of renewable energy sources also causes some unforeseen issues, such as lower network flexibility since most renewable production is intermittent and unpredictable, and harder generation forecasting for the same reasons. Many authors have researched ways to mitigate these issues, and most point to utilizing energy storage systems. Energy storage and uncertainty are not necessarily new topics, but they are now more prominent than ever and a must in recent optimal planning models regarding electricity networks.

The controllable resonant DC circuit breaker amplifies the oscillating current through excitation capacitor oscillation and boost, quickly generating a current zero point, and achieving the transmission of fault current and circuit breaking. In this paper, controlled resonant DC circuit breaker with a half-bridge topology structure is first simulated. But this topology structure cannot generate a current crossing point when the oscillation frequency decreases, resulting in the mechanical switch cannot be broken. So, a DC circuit breaker with a full-bridge topology structure is proposed, and the simulation results show that the topology structure can make the oscillation current rises quickly. Compared with the half-bridge topology circuit, its current crossing zero point can be created when the oscillation frequency reduces. Finally, in order to verify the safety and reliability of the full-bridge topology, stress analysis is conducted on the full control device and diodes, which provides a basis for the safe and reliable operation and electrical structure design of the high-voltage DC circuit breaker.","PeriodicalId":165790,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Future Energy Solutions (FES)","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128235594","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}

However, existing researches on market bidding and pricing strategies for load aggregators are often performed separately without considering the coupling between them, which may lead to suboptimal profits. To address this issue, we propose a two-stage joint bidding and pricing strategy that takes into account the coupling relationship between bidding and pricing. In the first stage, a pricing plan is set to predict the response capacity of consumers and formulate a bidding strategy accordingly. In the second stage, the actual bidding results and market-clearing price are obtained, and the pricing plan is optimized accordingly. The proposed strategy is evaluated using real-world bidding data from the California DR market. The results show that the two-stage pricing strategy can significantly increase the profit of LAs compared to the traditional one-stage strategy. Additionally, we employ robust optimization to analyze uncertainty in the DR market. The proposed pricing strategy can provide valuable insights for LAs to participate in the DR market effectively and efficiently.","PeriodicalId":165790,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Future Energy Solutions (FES)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133337213","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}
