There is a continuous and fast increase in electric vehicles (EVs) adoption many countries due to the reduction of EVs prices, governments’ incentives subsidies on EVs, need for energy independence, environmental issues. It expected that will dominate private cars market coming years. These charge their batteries from power grid may cause severe effects if not managed properly. On other hand, they can provide benefits get revenues EV owners The main contribution article review potential...

A Reference Network Model (RNM) is a large-scale distribution planning tool that can help regulators to estimate efficient costs in the context of incentive regulation applied companies. This paper presents main features an RNM developed for networks from scratch, greenfield planning, or incrementally existing grid. Two properties model are highlighted: simultaneous high-, medium-, and low-voltage by using simultaneity factors; layout cables urban areas, taking into consideration street map,...

Blockchain technology applications in the electricity sector are getting considerable attention from both academia and industry. It is expected that blockchain will play an important role transition to smart grid. The can be classified optimizing existing processes like metering billing or grid management using for emerging such as creating new platforms value exchange peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading. This paper briefly introduces fundamentals of technology, different types networks...

Driven by environmental and economic motives, different distributed energy resources (DERs) are being installed at a fast pace. The high penetration levels of DERs could result in technical issues low voltage distribution networks (LVDNs) lead to complex power system management. Therefore, many approaches were proposed the literature manage maximize their benefits while respecting LVDNs' limits. One new for managing is community trading (CET). CET allows end users exchange with each other...

The increasing deployment of non‐dispatchable generation in electric systems where and demand must be balanced at all times has led to a renewed interest technologies for energy storage. This study presents cost–benefit analysis storage peak reduction medium‐voltage distribution networks. In particular, the installation batteries secondary substations is studied three realistic large‐scale networks representing urban, semi‐urban rural areas. On one hand, savings costs derived from storing...

Transport systems and buildings are among the bigger energy users inside cities. Abundant research has been developed about these (facilities transport). However, synergies them commonly overlooked, not taking advantage of possible benefits their joint coordination management. This paper presents a linear programming model to find optimal operation planning distributed resources (DER) in residential district, while considering electric private public transport systems, particular vehicles...

Egypt aims to diversify electricity generation sources and targets 42% of its power capacity through different renewable energy (RESs) by 2035. Such an increased share RESs will make grid operation control more tedious may have a negative impact on system frequency stability. Therefore, this paper is the first study that studies automatic future multi-source systems (e.g., Egyptian Power System (EPS) in 2035 scenario) considering high penetrations electric vehicles (EVs). The scenario...

The wide spread of distributed energy resources (DERs) enabled the transformation passive consumer to an active prosumer. One promising approaches for optimal management DERs and maximizing benefits community prosumers is trading (CET). CET gives flexibility freedom trade electricity within neighborhood maximize their economic besides local consumption renewable sources generation. Despite individuals whole community, it could cause impacts on low voltage distribution network (LVDN)....

At operational level, fossil fuel phase-out and high shares of non-dispatchable renewable energy resources (RES) will challenge the system operator's (SO) ability to balance generation, demand at any time. The variability RES output ranges from one hour a season, critical events such as low supply might occur more frequently for extended periods. When evaluating role Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) in this context, need long time scope capture different variabilities must be reconciled with...

In the context of incentive regulation applied to electricity distribution companies, reference network models (RNMs) can be a valuable tool estimate their efficient costs. These have plan large-scale areas with different voltage levels. This paper describes planning algorithms proposed optimize location, size, and supply area medium-voltage/low-voltage transformer substations in an RNM that has from scratch (Greenfield planning). The presented methodology aims divide entire into small zones...

SUMMARY One of the main challenges in robotics is navigating autonomously through large, unknown, and unstructured environments. Simultaneous localization mapping (SLAM) currently regarded as a viable solution for this problem. As traditional metric approach to SLAM experiencing computational difficulties when exploring large areas, increasing attention being paid topological SLAM, which bound provide sufficiently accurate location estimates, while significantly less computationally...
