M.; Kamwa, InnocentTo provide continuity of balancing demand and generation, renewable sources will be more active than today in near future due to the tendency of massive investment on renewable energy sources (RESs) by countries. However, due to the uncertain and intermittent nature of RESs, RESs would create problems on power system operations such as power quality, efficiency, stability and reliability. Owing to having problems with RESs integration, virtual power plant (VPP) has introduced to make this integration smooth without compromising the grid stability and reliability along with offering many other techno-economic benefits. This study reviews structures, types, architecture and operations of VPP along with the status of present implementations worldwide. The types of VPP are introduced in details with the optimisation algorithm used with each type. In addition, VPP is linked with the most of the components in power systems such as distributed generation, active prosumers, transmission system operator and distribution system operator, grid services such as fault ride through, reactive power control as well as with the help of technology such as communications, control and optimisations. This study gives a comprehensive outline of transforming microgrid to VPP that is useful for researchers, consumers, prosumers and utility operators.Article Citation - WoS: 66Citation - Scopus: 86Rooftop Solar PV Penetration Impacts on Distribution Network and Further Growth Factors-A Comprehensive Review(MDPI, 2020-12-31) Uzum, Busra; Onen, Ahmet; Hasanien, Hany M.; Muyeen, S. M.In order to meet the electricity needs of domestic or commercial buildings, solar energy is more attractive than other renewable energy sources in terms of its simplicity of installation, less dependence on the field and its economy. It is possible to extract solar energy from photovoltaic (PV) including rooftop, ground-mounted, and building integrated PV systems. Interest in rooftop PV system applications has increased in recent years due to simple installation and not occupying an external area. However, the negative effects of increased PV penetration on the distribution system are troublesome. The power loss, reverse power flow (RPF), voltage fluctuations, voltage unbalance, are causing voltage quality problems in the power network. On the other hand, variations in system frequency, power factor, and harmonics are affecting the power quality. The excessive PV penetration also the root cause of voltage stability and has an adverse effect on protection system. The aim of this article is to extensively examines the impacts of rooftop PV on distribution network and evaluate possible solution methods in terms of the voltage quality, power quality, system protection and system stability. Moreover, it is to present a comparison of the advantages/disadvantages of the solution methods discussed, and an examination of the solution methods in which artificial intelligence, deep learning and machine learning based optimization and techniques are discussed with common methods.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1PSO Supported Ensemble Algorithm for Bad Data Detection Against Intelligent Hacking Algorithm(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021-07-23) Yavuz, Levent; Soran, Ahmet; Onen, Ahmet; Muyeen, S. M.Power system cybersecurity has recently become important due to cyber-attacks. Due to advanced computer science and machine learning (ML) applications being used by malicious attackers, cybersecurity is becoming crucial to creating sustainable, reliable, efficient, and well-protected cyber-systems. Power system operators are needed to develop sophisticated detection mechanisms. In this study, a novel machine-learning-based detection algorithm that combines the five most popular ML algorithms with Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) is developed and tested by using an intelligent hacking algorithm that is specially developed to measure the effectiveness of this study. The hacking algorithm provides three different types of injections: random, continuous random, and slow injections by adaptive manner. This would make detection harder. Results shows that recall values with the proposed algorithm for each different type of attack have been increased.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 10Optimization of Multiple Battery Swapping Stations With Mobile Support for Ancillary Services(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-09-26) Kocer, Mustafa Cagatay; Onen, Ahmet; Ustun, Taha Selim; Albayrak, SahinThe recent developments in electric vehicles (EVs) causes several issues that have not been satisfactorily addressed. One of the foremost problems is the charging-discharging processes of EV batteries with diverse characteristics. Although a charging station is the first choice in this regard, a battery swap station (BSS) is also a suitable alternative solution as it eliminates long waiting periods and battery degradation due to fast charging. BSS has the capability to ensure prompt and efficient service for electric vehicles. Since BSS has a large number of battery systems, optimum planning of the charging-discharging operations of the batteries is critical for both BSS and the grid. This study presents an optimal charging-discharging schedule for multiple BSSs based on the swap demand of privately owned EVs and electric bus (EB) public transportation system. In addition, BSSs reinforce the power grid by providing ancillary services such as peak shaving and valley filling with demand response programs. In order to increase the flexibility of the operation, the mobile swapping station (MSS) concept, an innovative and dynamic service, is introduced to the literature and added to the model. The results indicate that BSS is an essential agent in the ancillary services market and the MSS concept is a yielding solution for both BSSs and power networks. Last, the data utilized in the study for swap demand calculation and power grid analysis are real-world data from Berlin, Germany.Article Citation - WoS: 55Citation - Scopus: 65Neuro-Fuzzy Model Predictive Energy Management for Grid Connected Microgrids(MDPI, 2020-05-28) Ulutas, Ahsen; Altas, Ismail Hakki; Onen, Ahmet; Ustun, Taha SelimWith constant population growth and the rise in technology use, the demand for electrical energy has increased significantly. Increasing fossil-fuel-based electricity generation has serious impacts on environment. As a result, interest in renewable resources has risen, as they are environmentally friendly and may prove to be economical in the long run. However, the intermittent character of renewable energy sources is a major disadvantage. It is important to integrate them with the rest of the grid so that their benefits can be reaped while their negative impacts can be mitigated. In this article, an energy management algorithm is recommended for a grid-connected microgrid consisting of loads, a photovoltaic (PV) system and a battery for efficient use of energy. A model predictive control-inspired approach for energy management is developed using the PV power and consumption estimation obtained from daylight solar irradiation and temperature estimation of the same area. An energy management algorithm, which is based on a neuro-fuzzy inference system, is designed by determining the possible operating states of the system. The proposed system is compared with a rule-based control strategy. Results show that the developed control algorithm ensures that microgrid is supplied with reliable energy while the renewable energy use is maximized.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 8Model-Centric Distribution Automation: Capacity, Reliability, and Efficiency(Taylor & Francis inc, 2016-02-26) Onen, Ahmet; Jung, Jaesung; Dilek, Murat; Cheng, Danling; Broadwater, Robert P.; Scirbona, Charlie; Wang, XiaoyuA series of analyses along with field validations that evaluate efficiency, reliability, and capacity improvements of model-centric distribution automation are presented. With model-centric distribution automation, the same model is used from design to real-time control calculations. A 14-feeder system with 7 substations is considered. The analyses involve hourly time-varying loads and annual load growth factors. Phase balancing and capacitor redesign modifications are used to better prepare the system for distribution automation, where the designs are performed considering time-varying loads. Coordinated control of load tap changing transformers, line regulators, and switched capacitor banks is considered. In evaluating distribution automation versus traditional system design and operation, quasi-steady-state power flow analysis is used. In evaluating distribution automation performance for substation transformer failures, reconfiguration for restoration analysis is performed. In evaluating distribution automation for storm conditions, Monte Carlo simulations coupled with reconfiguration for restoration calculations are used. The evaluations demonstrate that model-centric distribution automation has positive effects on system efficiency, capacity, and reliability.Article Citation - WoS: 53Citation - Scopus: 70Machine Learning-Based Intrusion Detection for Achieving Cybersecurity in Smart Grids Using IEC 61850 Goose Messages(MDPI, 2021-05-08) Ustun, Taha Selim; Hussain, S. M. Suhail; Ulutas, Ahsen; Onen, Ahmet; Roomi, Muhammad M.; Mashima, Daisuke; Suhail Hussain, S.M.Increased connectivity is required to implement novel coordination and control schemes. IEC 61850-based communication solutions have become popular due to many reasons-object-oriented modeling capability, interoperable connectivity and strong communication protocols, to name a few. However, communication infrastructure is not well-equipped with cybersecurity mechanisms for secure operation. Unlike online banking systems that have been running such security systems for decades, smart grid cybersecurity is an emerging field. To achieve security at all levels, operational technology-based security is also needed. To address this need, this paper develops an intrusion detection system for smart grids utilizing IEC 61850's Generic Object-Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) messages. The system is developed with machine learning and is able to monitor the communication traffic of a given power system and distinguish normal events from abnormal ones, i.e., attacks. The designed system is implemented and tested with a realistic IEC 61850 GOOSE message dataset under symmetric and asymmetric fault conditions in the power system. The results show that the proposed system can successfully distinguish normal power system events from cyberattacks with high accuracy. This ensures that smart grids have intrusion detection in addition to cybersecurity features attached to exchanged messages.Article Implementation of Capital Deferral Algorithm in Real Distribution Systems Considering Reliability by Managing Major Faults(Springer, 2019-10-15) Yoldas, Yeliz; Onen, Ahmet; Broadwater, Robert; Alan, IrfanDistribution automation technology plays a key role on power system reliability by providing faster detection, isolating the faulted area and restoring the fault. In this paper, the impacts of distribution automation are considered on radial distribution system in the event of substation transformer bank malfunction at maximum load level with the aim of deferring the big capital investments. The aim of the proposed method is not only to increase physical impact such as the reliability but also to monetize physical measures into significant economic benefits by deferring the overall investment costs. The proposed algorithm is tested with the real distribution system data, and it is shown that it can obtain remarkable economic benefits by deferring the larger capital equipment investments by making smaller investments in distribution automation.Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 47Enhancing Cybersecurity in Smart Grids: False Data Injection and Its Mitigation(MDPI, 2021-05-06) Unsal, Derya Betul; Ustun, Taha Selim; Hussain, S. M. Suhail; Onen, Ahmet; Suhail Hussain, S.M.Integration of information technologies with power systems has unlocked unprecedented opportunities in optimization and control fields. Increased data collection and monitoring enable control systems to have a better understanding of the pseudo-real-time condition of power systems. In this fashion, more accurate and effective decisions can be made. This is the key towards mitigating negative impacts of novel technologies such as renewables and electric vehicles and increasing their share in the overall generation portfolio. However, such extensive information exchange has created cybersecurity vulnerabilities in power systems that were not encountered before. It is imperative that these vulnerabilities are understood well, and proper mitigation techniques are implemented.

Relevant standardization and mitigation efforts are discussed in detail and then the classification of different cyber-attacks in smart grid domain with special focus on false data injection (FDI) attack, due to its high impact on different operations. Different uses of this attack as well as developed detection models and methods are analysed. Finally, impacts on smart grid operation and current challenges are presented for future research directions.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 31Energy Trading on a Peer-to-Peer Basis Between Virtual Power Plants Using Decentralized Finance Instruments(MDPI, 2022-10-16) Seven, Serkan; Yoldas, Yeliz; Soran, Ahmet; Alkan, Gulay Yalcin; Jung, Jaesung; Ustun, Taha Selim; Onen, Ahmet; Yalcin Alkan, GulayOver time, distribution systems have begun to include increased distributed energy resources (DERs) due to the advancement of auxiliary power electronics, information and communication technologies (ICT), and cost reductions. Electric vehicles (EVs) will undoubtedly join the energy community alongside DERs, and energy transfers from vehicles to grids and vice versa will become more extensive in the future. Virtual power plants (VPPs) will also play a key role in integrating these systems and participating in wholesale markets. Energy trading on a peer-to-peer (P2P) basis is a promising business model for transactive energy that aids in balancing local supply and demand. Moreover, a market scheme between VPPs can help DER owners make more profit while reducing renewable energy waste. For this purpose, an inter-VPP P2P trading scheme is proposed. The scheme utilizes cutting-edge technologies of the Avalanche blockchain platform, developed from scratch with decentralized finance (DeFi), decentralized applications (DApps), and Web3 workflows in mind. Avalanche is more scalable and has faster transaction finality than its layer-1 predecessors. It provides interoperability abilities among other common blockchain networks, facilitating inter-VPP P2P trading between different blockchain-based VPPs. The merits of DeFi contribute significantly to the workflow in this type of energy trading scenario, as the price mechanism can be determined using open market-like instruments. A detailed case study was used to examine the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and flow, and important conclusions were drawn.
