    Applying reinforcement learning method to optimize an Energy Hub operation in the smart grid

    , Article IEEE Power and Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference, ISGT 2015, 18 February through 20 February 2015 ; 2015 ; 9781479917853 (ISBN) Rayati, M ; Sheikhi, A ; Ranjbar, A. M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    New days, the concepts of 'Smart Grid' and 'Energy Hub' have been introduced to improve the operation of the energy systems. This paper introduces a new conception entitling Smart Energy Hub (S. E. Hub), as a multi-carrier energy system in a smart grid environment. To show the application of this novel idea, we present a residential S. E. Hub which employs Reinforcement Learning (RL) method for finding a near optimal solution. The simulation results show that by applying the S. E. Hub model and then using the proposed method for a residential customer, running cost is reduced substantially. While, comparing with the classical ones, the RL method does not require any data about the... 

    Distribution system planning considering integration of distributed generation and load curtailment options in a competitive electricity market

    , Article Electrical Engineering ; Volume 93, Issue 1 , 2011 , Pages 23-32 ; 09487921 (ISSN) Porkar, S ; Abbaspour Tehrani Fard, A ; Poure, P ; Saadate, S ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Distribution systems management is becoming an increasingly complicated issue due to the introduction of new technologies, new energy trading strategies and new deregulated environment. In the new deregulated energy market and considering the incentives coming from the technical and economical fields, it is reasonable to consider distributed generation (DG) as a viable option to solve the lacking electric power supply problem. This paper presents a mathematical distribution system planning model considering three planning options to system expansion and to meet the load growth requirements with a reasonable price as well as the system power quality problems. DG is introduced as an attractive...

    A heuristic trade off model for integration of distributed generations in deregulated power systems considering technical, economical and environmental issues

    , Article 2008 IEEE 2nd International Power and Energy Conference, PECon 2008, Johor Baharu, 1 December 2008 through 3 December 2008 ; 2008 , Pages 1275-1279 ; 9781424424054 (ISBN) Hekmati, A ; Nasiri, R ; Bagheri, M ; Tehrani, A. A ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    With the introduction of restructuring concepts to traditional power systems, a great deal of attention is given to the utilization of distributed generation. Since the integration of DG units has been known as an alternative for main grid as a resource for energy supply, the determination of optimal sizing and sitting is an important issue in the planning procedure of DG. This work presents a comprehensive multi-objective model for integration of distributed generations into a distribution network, regarding various technical, economical and environmental issues such as reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and investment & running costs while the bus voltages shall be kept within...
