Future power systems (known as smart grid) will experience a high penetration level of variable distributed energy resources to bring abundant, affordable, clean, efficient, and reliable electric power to all consumers. However, it might suffer from the uncertain and variable na…
Short-term load forecasting of power system has been a classic problem for a long time. Not merely it has been researched extensively and intensively, but also a variety of forecasting methods has been raised. This thesis outlines some aspects and functions of smart meter. It al…
The growing demand of Electric energy powered vehicles has some unwanted side effects on the current power grid system. Some of these side effects are wires not being able to sustain such high currents for prolonged periods of time, transformers not being able to sustain stable …
Environmental concerns and long term energy security are the key drivers behind most current electric energy policies whose primary aim is to achieve a sustainable, reliable and affordable energy system. In a bid to achieve these aims many changes have been taking place in most …
The penetration of renewable energy sources has increased significantly in recent years due to the ongoing depletion of conventional resources and the transition to a low carbon energy system. Renewable energy sources such as wind energy are highly intermittent and unpredictable…
Transportation electrification offers solutions to an array of current societal issues, ranging from unstable oil prices to environmental concerns. The promised cost-savings prompt a growing interest to push Electric Vehicles (EVs) into the market. On the other hand, the all-ele…
Power grid is one of the most critical infrastructures in a nation and could suffer a variety of cyber attacks. With the development of Smart Grid, false data injection attack has recently attracted wide research interest. This thesis proposes a false data attack model with inco…
The demand for electric power has been steadily increasing, and this trend is expected to continue over the coming decades. With the increased usage of fossil fuels, there has been a growing concern with the environmental impacts of electric power generation. Therefore, penetrat…
With the evolution of energy and power systems, the emerging Smart Grid (SG) is mainly featured by distributed renewable energy generations, demand-response control and huge amount of heterogeneous data sources. Widely distributed synchrophasor sensors, such as phasor measuremen…
Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) which include distributed generations (DGs), distributed energy storage systems, and adjustable loads are key components in microgrid operations. A microgrid is a small electric power system integrated with on-site DERs to serve all or some po…
