  • More about Hierarchical Power Systems: Optimal Operation Using Grid Flexibilities


This book explores the power grid as a hierarchy, combining semi-definite optimal power flow with model-order reduction and a heuristic algorithm to improve performance.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 55 pages
Publication date: 19 March 2023
Publisher: Springer International Publishing AG


This comprehensive book delves into the intricate workings of the power grid, presenting it as a hierarchical structure comprised of transmission, distribution, and microgrid levels. Through a detailed exploration of these interfaces, the authors aim to demonstrate how the flexibility in power demand associated with residential batteries can be effectively communicated throughout the entire grid, enabling optimal power flow computations within the transmission grid.

To achieve this groundbreaking approach, the authors employ a combination of semi-definite optimal power flow techniques, model-order reduction at the distribution level, and a novel heuristic algorithm for stable power flow at the transmission level. By integrating these methodologies, the book showcases its practical applications by presenting a numerical case study based on modified IEEE 9-bus and 33-bus systems, representing the transmission and distribution grid, respectively.

Through this case study, the book vividly illustrates how leveraging the flexibility on the residential level enhances the performance of the power flow within the transmission grid. It sheds light on the potential benefits of integrating renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and electric vehicles, into the grid and highlights the importance of efficient communication and coordination among different grid components.

By offering a deep understanding of the power grid's architecture and the role of residential batteries in optimizing power flow, this book serves as a valuable resource for professionals, researchers, and policymakers alike. It provides insights into the future of energy distribution and highlights the opportunities for sustainable and resilient power systems.
