In this article, we focus on the problem of mitigating the risk of not being able to meet the power demand, due to the inherent uncertainty of renewable energy generation sources in microgrids. We consider three different demand scenarios, namely meeting short-time horizon power demand, a sustained energy demand and a scenario where the power demand at a prescribed future time has to be met with almost sure guarantee with power generation being stochastic and following dynamics governed by geometric Brownian motion. For each of these scenarios we provide solutions to meet the electrical demand. We present results of numerical experiments to demonstrate the applicability of our schemes.

This paper presents the first demonstration of using an active mechanism to defend renewable-rich microgrids against cyber attacks. Cyber vulnerability of the renewable-rich microgrids is identified. The defense mechanism based on dynamic watermarkin g is proposed for detecting cyber anomalies in microgrids. The proposed mechanism is easily implementable and it has theoretically provable performance in term of detecting cyber attacks. The effectiveness of the proposed mechanism is tested and validated in a renewable-rich microgrid.
The accurate representation of variable renewable generation (RES, e.g., wind, solar PV) assets in capacity expansion planning (CEP) studies is paramount to capture spatial and temporal correlations that may exist between sites and impact both power system design and operation. However, it typically has a high computational cost. This paper proposes a method to reduce the spatial dimension of CEP problems while preserving an accurate representation of renewable energy sources. A two-stage approach is proposed to this end. In the first stage, relevant sites are identified via a screening routine that discards the locations with little impact on system design. In the second stage, the subset of relevant RES sites previously identified is used in a CEP problem to determine the optimal configuration of the power system. The proposed method is tested on a realistic EU case study and its performance is benchmarked against a CEP set-up in which the entire set of candidate RES sites is available. The method shows great promise, with the screening stage consistently identifying 90% of the optimal RES sites while discarding up to 54% of the total number of candidate locations. This leads to a peak memory reduction of up to 41% and solver runtime gains between 31% and 46%, depending on the weather year considered.
Energy and water systems are highly interconnected. Energy is required to extract, transmit, and treat water and wastewater, and water is needed for cooling energy systems. There is a rapid increase in demand for energy and water due to factors such as population and economic growth. In less than 30 years, the need for energy and water will nearly double globally. As the energy and water resources are limited, it is critical to have a sustainable energy-water nexus framework to meet these growing demands. Renewable energies provide substantial opportunities in energy-water nexuses by boosting energy and water reliability and sustainability and can be less water-intensive than conventional technologies. These resources, such as wind and solar power, do not need water inputs. As a result, they can be used as a supplement to the energy-water nexus portfolio. In this paper, renewable energies in energy-water nexus have been investigated for a range of possible scenarios. As renewable energy resources are not deterministic, fuzzy logic is used to model the uncertainty. The results show that renewable energies can significantly improve the energy-water nexus planning; however, the power grid reliability on renewable energy should be aligned with the level of systems uncertainty. The gap between the decisions extracted from the Fuzzy model and the deterministic model amplifies the importance of considering uncertainty to generate reliable decisions.

High penetration of renewable generation poses great challenge to power system operation due to its uncertain nature. In droop-controlled microgrids, the voltage volatility induced by renewable uncertainties is aggravated by the high droop gains. Thi s paper proposes a chance-constrained optimal power flow (CC-OPF) problem with power flow routers (PFRs) to better regulate the voltage profile in microgrids. PFR refer to a general type of network-side controller that brings more flexibility to the power network. Comparing with the normal CC-OPF that relies on power injection flexibility only, the proposed model introduces a new dimension of control from power network to enhance system performance under renewable uncertainties. Since the inclusion of PFRs complicates the problem and makes common solvers no longer apply directly, we design an iterative solution algorithm. For the subproblem in each iteration, chance constraints are transformed into equivalent deterministic ones via sensitivity analysis, so that the subproblem can be efficiently solved by the convex relaxation method. The proposed method is verified on the modified IEEE 33-bus system and the results show that PFRs make a significant contribution to mitigating the voltage volatility and make the system operate in a more economic and secure way.
This paper proposes a joint input and state dynamic estimation scheme for power networks in microgrids and active distribution systems with unknown inputs. The conventional dynamic state estimation of power networks in the transmission system relies on the forecasting methods to obtain the state-transition model of state variables. However, under highly dynamic conditions in the operation of microgrids and active distribution networks, this approach may become ineffective as the forecasting accuracy is not guaranteed. To overcome such drawbacks, this paper employs the power networks model derived from the physical equations of branch currents. Specifically, the power network model is a linear state-space model, in which the state vector consists of branch currents, and the input vector consists of bus voltages. To estimate both state and input variables, we propose linear Kalman-based dynamic filtering algorithms in batch-mode regression form, considering the cross-correlation between states and inputs. For the scalability of the proposed scheme, the distributed implementation is also presented. Complementarily, the predicted state and input vectors are leveraged for bad data detection. Results carried out on a 13-bus microgrid system in real-time Opal-RT platform demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in comparison with the traditional weighted least square and tracking state estimation methods.
