Automated Coordination of Distributed Energy Resources using Local Energy Markets and Reinforcement Learning
DownloadFall 2024
The conventional unidirectional model of the electricity grid operations is no longer sufficient. The continued proliferation of distributed energy resources and the resultant surge in net load variability at the grid edge necessitates deploying adequate demand response methods. This thesis...

Deep Learning-based Forecasting and Energy Management Algorithms for Smart Grid Applications
DownloadFall 2023
With the increasing global problems concerning energy security and climate change, new challenges in social progress and human survival have come to the fore. Requiring no fuel, and being renewable and non-polluting, renewable energy (RE) resources, typically from photovoltaic and wind sources,...

Spatial Distribution of Wind Power Plants To Reduce Variability of Renewable Energy Generation
DownloadFall 2014
As the penetration of wind power into generation mix increases, the issue of its integration into the power grid becomes more and more important. The variability of wind power generation is a major concern as wind is highly intermittent. This may result in significant overproduction at times,...
