Quantum-Powered Battery Scheduling In Modern Distribution Grids, Diba Ehsani
Quantum-Powered Battery Scheduling In Modern Distribution Grids, Diba Ehsani
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The rising need for exploiting a novel and evolved computation is an increasing concern in the power distribution system to address the exponential growth of distribution-connected devices. Scheduling numerous battery energy storage systems in an optimal way is one of the emerging challenges that will be more noticeable as the number of batteries, including residential, community, and vehicle batteries, increases in the grid. This thesis focuses on this topic and offers a necessary component in building the quantum-compatible distribution system of the future. Using a constrained quadratic model (CQM) on D-Wave’s hybrid solver as well as a binary quadratic model …
Hosting Capacity Optimization In Modern Distribution Grids, Mansoor T. Alturki
Hosting Capacity Optimization In Modern Distribution Grids, Mansoor T. Alturki
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The availability of distributed renewable energy resources and the anticipated increase in new types of loads are changing the way electricity is being produced and supplied to consumers. This shift is moving away from a network delivering power solely from centralized power plants towards a decentralized network which supplements its power production by incorporating local distributed generators (DGs). However, the increased integration of DGs into existing distribution networks is impacting their behavior in terms of voltage profile, reliability, and power quality. To determine the maximum amount of DG that distribution grids can accommodate the concept of hosting capacity is introduced. …
Optimal Operation Of Integrated Microgrids, Abdullah Albaker
Optimal Operation Of Integrated Microgrids, Abdullah Albaker
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Microgrids' deployments are increasing and projected to increase even more in future due to the significant advantages that are provided by this technology for end-use customers. However, microgrids can be connected to each other to create integrated microgrids system, which can further promote the anticipated and desired benefits. An integrated operation of microgrids can potentially improve the local power system reliability and resilience, increase the individual microgrids' economic benefits, and promote further utilization of renewable energy resources. Integrating microgrids, to achieve a microgrid network or cluster, is expected be an essential application towards smarter power grids and a key operational …
