In last decades the rapid development of distributed generation can be observed. It is caused, among others, by legal circumstances, liberalization of the energy market and increasing demand of electrical energy. The presence of many various distributed generators in the power system is a big...

Nowadays power system faces up to various problems and challenges, like e.g. decreasing resources of fossil fuels, ineffective large power plants and transmission lines, as well as increasing demand on energy and quality of energy services and protection of environment. At the same time the...

The paper deals with decision optimization of the integration of distributed generation with electrical grid. Presented algorithm is based on technical and economic factors of integration of distributed generation. The method is based on optimization of coordinates, which in this case are values...

The paper presents two algorithms of optimal placement of distributed generation in electrical grid. Both algorithms take into account technical and economic effectiveness of integration of distributed generation with the power grid. Methods, used in the algorithms, are based on the linear...

The paper deals with decision optimization of the integration of distributed generation with electrical grid. Presented algorithm is based on technical and economic factors of integration of distributed generation. A Linear Programming Methodology, where the various alternatives of distributed...

Because of the increasing number of distributed energy sources integrated with the distribution network various optimization methods are very useful in determining the optimal placement, type and size of the distributed generators. One of the most commonly used algorithms are so called...

We recall the historical changes that have taken place in the power markets worldwide and that have led to a partial or full opening for competition. Afterwards we discuss power market structure with special emphasis on differences between financial or other commodity markets on one hand and the...

Using an agent-based modeling approach we show how personal attributes, like conformity or indifference, impact opinions of individual electricity consumers regarding innovative dynamic tariff programs. We also examine the influence of advertising, discomfort of usage and the expectations of...

Using an agent-based modeling approach we show how personal attributes, like conformity or indifference, impact the opinions of individual electricity consumers regarding switching to innovative dynamic tariff programs. We also examine the influence of advertising, discomfort of usage and the...

This paper proposes an agent-based modeling (ABM) approach to study the diffusion and adoption of dynamic electricity tariffs. We discuss the difference between opinions and decisions of electricity consumers regarding dynamic pricing. By means of a simple ABM, we provide a plausible explanation...
