About this book

The thesis provides different opportunities and ideas to face some current challenges in the electricity systems. It focuses on the effective and efficient integration of distributed low carbon technologies in the grid of the future. Planning and operation problems for different clean solutions, such as market bidding strategies for intermittent energy producers, demand side management algorithms for smart buildings, and electrical storage options for network operators, are studied for facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources in the power system chain.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
The entire electricity system is undergoing a dramatic transformation driven mainly by challenging environmental and economic targets set out by government policies worldwide. It is straightforward that new technical architecture along with different market mechanisms is required in the future scenario that will enable smart grids to accommodate the intermittency and the relevant uncertainty of renewable generation.

Chapter 3. Demand Response Management in Smart Buildings
Abstract
In this chapter an optimization approach based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) for allowing the temperature control system of large buildings to participate in a DR program is proposed.

Chapter 4. Configuration and Control of Storages in Distribution Networks
Abstract
In this chapter, the potential of applying ESS for facilitating the integration of renewables into electric power systems is presented. In particular, the possibility of using ESSs for mitigating over- and undervoltages in LV networks is investigated. Moreover, different algorithms for both planning and operation of such innovative devices are proposed.
