      Asynchronous coordination of distributed energy resources for the provisioning of ancillary services 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Charalambous, T. (2011)
      This paper analyzes the stability of asynchronous coordination protocols and studies their application to energy resource provisioning of ancillary services in power grids. First, we consider and analyze a protocol that ...

      Control of distributed energy resources for reactive power support 

      Robbins, B. A.; Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2011)
      This paper proposes a method to utilize distributed energy resources (DERs) to provide reactive power support for voltage control in electric power systems. Rather than controlling each of these resources directly, a ...

      Coordination and control of distributed energy resources for provision of ancillary services 

      Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2010)
      This paper discusses the utilization of distributed energy resources on the distribution side of the power grid to provide a number of ancillary services. While the individual capability of these resources to provide grid ...

      Decentralized optimal dispatch of distributed energy resources 

      Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Cady, S. T.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2012)
      In this paper, we address the problem of optimally dispatching a set of distributed energy resources (DERs) without relying on a centralized decision maker. We consider a scenario where each DER can provide a certain ...

      Distributed algorithms for control of demand response and distributed energy resources 

      Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2011)
      This paper proposes distributed algorithms for control and coordination of loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution networks. These algorithms are relevant for load curtailment control in demand response ...

      Lost in the national labyrinths of bureaucracy: The case of renewable energy governance in Cyprus 

      Fokaides, P. A.; Poullikkas, A.; Christofides, Constantinos (2013)
      In July 2011, Cyprus experienced an abrupt disruption of power supply as a result of an explosion that happened near the biggest conventional power station of the island, which destroyed about 60 % of the its power generating ...

      Resilient networked control of distributed energy resources 

      Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Vaidya, N. H. (2012)
      This paper considers networked systems and develops distributed algorithm that is resilient against potential packet drops in the communication links between system components. We apply this algorithm to the problem of ...

      Short-term load forecasting: The similar shape functional time-series predictor 

      Paparoditis Efstathios, E.; Sapatinas, Theofanis (2013)
      A novel functional time-series methodology for shortterm load forecasting is introduced. The prediction is performed by means of a weighted average of past daily load segments, the shape of which is similar to the expected ...

      Small inverter-interfaced distributed energy resources for reactive power support 

      Domínguez-Garcia, A. D.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Krein, P. T.; Cady, S. T. (2011)
      The use of small inverter-interfaced distributed energy resources for reactive power support is discussed. While the primary function of these resources is to deliver active power, they can also be used to provide reactive ...

      A two-stage distributed architecture for voltage control in power distribution systems 

      Robbins, B. A.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Domínguez-Garcia, A. D. (2013)
      In this paper, we propose an architecture for voltage regulation in distribution networks that relies on controlling reactive power injections provided by distributed energy resources (DERs). A local controller on each bus ...
