A proposed paradigm is presented for electric vehicles (EVs), which is subsequently partitioned into three distinct dispatching areas to assess its practicality. This study is structured around two primary objectives. The first objective focuses on EV owners aiming to minimize their electricity consumption costs while also receiving compensation for providing services. The second objective involves using an aggregator to establish distinct tariffs for each dispatching area. Additionally, the aggregator aims to shift the charging load demand from peak to off-peak hours and distribute the charging demand to each agent. The authors of this study propose the utilization of a charging and discharging coordination method, specifically the Multi-Agents Charging and Discharging (MACD) algorithm, as a means to successfully tackle the issue of charging demand during peak hours. The objective of the proposed algorithm is to effectively handle the increased charging requirements during peak periods by using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies within the context of Smart Grid systems and electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Importantly, this reduction is achieved without compromising the performance of electric vehicles (EVs) or the convenience experienced by EV owners. The algorithm under consideration demonstrates reduced power charging costs for various sectors. Specifically, it achieves a decrease of 15% for households, 14.6% for corporate buildings, and 14.5% for Industrial Park EV aggregators.","PeriodicalId":503838,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Energy Research","volume":"15 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139258286","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}

Hybrid systems, which combine different energy storage technologies such as batteries and supercapacitors, are becoming increasingly popular because no single technology can satisfy all requirements. In this study, a supercapacitor is used to stabilize quickly shifting bursts of power, while a battery is used to stabilize gradually fluctuating power flow. This paper proposes a robust controller for managing the direct current (DC) bus voltage to optimize the performance of ESS. The proposed controller combines a fractional-order proportional integral (FOPI) with a classical PI controller for the first time in the DC microgrid area. The hybrid (FOPI-PI) controller achieves an outstanding and superior performance in all transient and dynamic response specifications compared to other traditional controllers. The parameters of the suggested controller are incorporated with the self-adaptive bonobo optimizer (SaBO) to determine the optimal values. Furthermore, various optimization techniques are applied to the model and the SaBO’s output outperforms other techniques by minimizing the best objective function. In addition, the current study has utilized a novel power management strategy that includes two closed current loops for both batteries and supercapacitors. By using this method, batteries’ lifespans may be increased while still retaining optimal system performance. The suggested controller is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink 2022b, and the outcomes are reported for several case studies. The findings demonstrate that the control technique remarkably improves the transient response, such as transient duration, overshoot/undershoot, and the settling time. The proposed controller (FOPI-PI) with the SaBO optimizer is effective in maintaining the DC bus voltage under load and solar system variation.","PeriodicalId":503838,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Energy Research","volume":"29 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139256060","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}

This study used the difference-in-differences (DID), propensity score matching-DID, quantile DID methods and generalized random forest model to empirically test the impact and its heterogeneity of the digital economy on the ESACG, with the establishment of the National Big Data Comprehensive Pilot Zone as a quasi-natural experiment.Results: 1) The digital economy significantly improved the ESACG by optimizing industrial structure in source management, improving energy utilization efficiency in process control, and promoting green technological innovation in end blocking. The digital literacy of talent and digital financial support strengthened its enhancing effect, but the digital infrastructure was insignificant. 2) The digital economy significantly enhanced the ESACG in the cross-regional and regional demonstration zones but inhibited it in the pioneering zones. Its impact on the ESACG in big data infrastructure-integrated development zones was insignificant. 3) Between the 25th and 90th quantiles, there was an asymmetric inverted U-shaped influence of the digital economy on the ESACG, with no discernible impact at the 10th quantile. In cities with better economic development and technological innovation, the contribution of the digital economy to the ESACG was more significant.Discussion: It is necessary to continuously advance the construction of existing pilot zones, steadily expand their coverage, and differentiate between harnessing the experiences of reducing pollution and carbon emissions to formulate strategies for synergistic regional governance.","PeriodicalId":503838,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Energy Research","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139264232","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}
