    A Reinforcement Learning-Based Demand Response Strategy Designed From the Aggregator's Perspective
    (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022) Oh, Seongmun; Jung, Jaesung; Onen, Ahmet; Lee, Chul-Ho
    The demand response (DR) program is a promising way to increase the ability to balance both supply and demand, optimizing the economic efficiency of the overall system. This study focuses on the DR participation strategy in terms of aggregators who offer appropriate DR programs to customers with flexible loads. DR aggregators engage in the electricity market according to customer behavior and must make decisions that increase the profits of both DR aggregators and customers. Customers use the DR program model, which sends its demand reduction capabilities to a DR aggregator that bids aggregate demand reduction to the electricity market. DR aggregators not only determine the optimal rate of incentives to present to the customers but can also serve customers and formulate an optimal energy storage system (ESS) operation to reduce their demands. This study formalized the problem as a Markov decision process (MDP) and used the reinforcement learning (RL) framework. In the RL framework, the DR aggregator and each customer are allocated to each agent, and the agents interact with the environment and are trained to make an optimal decision. The proposed method was validated using actual industrial and commercial customer demand profiles and market price profiles in South Korea. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed method could optimize decisions from the perspective of the DR aggregator.

    Optimal Control of Microgrids With Multi-Stage Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming Guided Q-Learning Algorithm
    (State Grid Electric Power Research inst, 2020) Yoldas, Yeliz; Goren, Selcuk; Onen, Ahmet
    This paper proposes an energy management system (EMS) for the real-time operation of a pilot stochastic and dynamic microgrid on a university campus in Malta consisting of a diesel generator, photovoltaic panels, and batteries. The objective is to minimize the total daily operation costs, which include the degradation cost of batteries, the cost of energy bought from the main grid, the fuel cost of the diesel generator, and the emission cost. The optimization problem is modeled as a finite Markov decision process (MDP) by combining network and technical constraints, and Q-learning algorithm is adopted to solve the sequential decision subproblems. The proposed algorithm decomposes a multi-stage mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem into a series of single-stage problems so that each subproblem can be solved by using Bellman's equation. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, three case studies are taken into consideration: (1) minimizing the daily energy cost; (2) minimizing the emission cost; (3) minimizing the daily energy cost and emission cost simultaneously. Moreover, each case is operated under different battery operation conditions to investigate the battery lifetime. Finally, performance comparisons are carried out with a conventional Q-learning algorithm.

    Optimization of Multiple Battery Swapping Stations With Mobile Support for Ancillary Services
    (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022) Kocer, Mustafa Cagatay; Onen, Ahmet; Ustun, Taha Selim; Albayrak, Sahin
    The 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.

    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2022) Al-Abri, Tariq; Onen, Ahmet; Al-Abri, Rashid; Hossen, Abdulnasir; Al-Hinai, Amer; Jung, Jaesung; Ustun, Taha Selim
    With the rapid transformation of the energy sector towards modern power systems represented by smart grids (SGs), microgrids (MG), and distributed generation, blockchain (BC) technology has shown the capability for solving security, privacy, and reliability challenges that hinder progress. Currently, the energy structure is forming a decentralized system that prioritizes customer satisfaction. BC technology undertakes power network stockholders in a secure energy market, transparent transactions, and fair competition and offers promising energy solutions. This paper is a comprehensive review of energy applications using BC integration. Firstly, we introduce the drivers of BC leverage that make it a potentially important component of the power network. Following that, we provide background information on BC and its application in areas other than the energy sector. Subsequently, we discuss studies and sort potential energy applications from various recent papers and surveys that have already adopted BC technology in the energy sector. Then, we summarize the pricing infrastructure for applying BC in the energy sector and identify the requirements to build it. Finally, energy security and privacy challenges based on BC are highlighted, along with potential drawbacks and concerns related to the pricing infrastructure.

    Rooftop Solar PV Penetration Impacts on Distribution Network and Further Growth Factors-A Comprehensive Review
    (MDPI, 2021) 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.

    Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading in Virtual Power Plant Based on Blockchain Smart Contracts
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2020) Seven, Serkan; Yao, Gang; Soran, Ahmet; Onen, Ahmet; Muyeen, S. M.
    A novel Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading scheme for a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is proposed by using Smart Contracts on Ethereum Blockchain Platform. The P2P energy trading is the recent trend the power society is keen to adopt carrying out several trial projects as it eases to generate and share the renewable energy sources in a distributed manner inside local community. Blockchain and smart contracts are the up-and-coming phenomena in the scene of the information technology used to be considered as the cutting-edge research topics in power systems. Earlier works on P2P energy trading including and excluding blockchain technology were focused mainly on the optimization algorithm, Information and Communication Technology, and Internet of Things. Therefore, the financial aspects of P2P trading in a VPP framework is focused and in that regard a P2P energy trading mechanism and bidding platform are developed. The proposed scheme is based on public blockchain network and auction is operated by smart contract addressing both cost and security concerns. The smart contract implementation and execution in a VPP framework including bidding, withdrawal, and control modules developments are the salient feature of this work. The proposed architecture is validated using realistic data with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) environment of Ropsten Test Network.

    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Martinez-Ramos, J. L.; Marcolini, Alejandro Marano; García-López, Francisco De Paula; Almagro-Yravedra, Fernando; Onen, Ahmet; Yoldaş, Yeliz; Fragale, Nunziatina
    Ancillary services are all services required by the transmission (TSO) or distribution system operator (DSO) to maintain the integrity and stability of the transmission or distribution system as well as the power quality. Ancillary services that can be provided by a microgrid in grid-connected operation are frequency control support, voltage control support, congestion management, reduction of grid losses, and improvement of power quality. This paper presents the optimization problems used in the 3DMicroGrid project to determine the set-points of the different resources present in the microgrid to provide ancillary services to the power system in grid-connected operation: Frequency control, voltage control and load curtailment. Results of the optimization of the pilot microgrid used in 3DMicroGrid are presented. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Cloud Induced PV Impact on Voltage Profiles for Real Microgrids
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Kocer, Mustafa Cagatay; Yoldaş, Yeliz; Gören, Selçuk; Onen, Ahmet; Alan, İrfan; Al-Agtash, Salem Y.; Tzovaras, Dimitrios K.
    Integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into power systems has been a popular topic for a long time. Due to government policies and incentives, it will be more popular in the future since it is a free and environment-friendly nature. Besides its advantages, photovoltaic (PV) generation causes some serious problems to the grid. Since PV generation directly depends on the solar irradiance, cloud movements can cause sudden changes on the output of PV power and this results in some power issues in the system such as voltage violations, reverse power flow, voltage fluctuations. These types of issues complicate to maintain voltage within compulsory levels at customer sides. Thus, cloud-induced transients in PV power are seen as a potential handicap for the future expansion of renewable energy resources. This study investigates effects of instantaneous changes in PV power on the customer side voltage levels. Daily PV power output and voltage profiles were simulated using a real-world microgrid design that will be implemented in the Malta College of Arts Science and Technology (MCAST) Campus. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
