The UK government’s CO2 emissions targets will require electrification of much of the country’s infrastructure with low carbon technologies such as photovoltaic panels, electric vehicles and heat pumps. The large scale proliferation of these technologies will necessitate major changes to the...

This paper proposes a centralized control methodology for optimizing nodal voltages of distribution networks by acting on the reactive power produced by PV-inverters. Control actions are centrally evaluated in real-time by solving a constrained dynamic optimization problem aimed at minimizing...

В статье рассмотрены тенденции развития отечественной торговой сферы; дана структура оборота розничных торговых сетей и тенденция образования новых...

Рассматриваются вопросы оценки состояния розничной торговли и формирования торговых сетей в Забайкальском крае в контексте процессов, соответствующих...

This paper illustrates a methodology for analyzing bargaining games on network markets, by means of numerical models that can be calibrated with real data. Economic incentives to join or to expand a network depend on how the network surplus is being distributed, which in turn depends on a...

The operation of wind turbines in the distribution networks may affect the power quality offered to the consumers. One of the most important considerations is the effect on the voltage profile, i.e. the induced slow voltage variations, which are the subject of this paper. Two alternative...

This paper identifies the risks for the functionality and reliability of the grid that arise from the integration of the transport and supply chain. The electrification of transport is a promising option for the transition to a low carbon energy and transport system. But on the short term, the...

Smart contracts based on voluntary participation and optionality can be a low transaction cost solution to implement locational signals in distribution networks and thereby avoid network investment. This paper examines the efficiency properties of smart contracts. Based on a three-node example...

The increasing share of distributed generation causes massive network investment. Energy and network pricing can help to reduce the investment need. This paper examines and discusses different models for locational pricing in the distribution network. Locational energy pricing is largely...

Today most flowers physically pass through the auction houses on their fixed routes from (inter)national growers to (inter)national customers. Physical presence is necessary to allow for physical inspection, quality control and break-bulk activities. Several developments, such as new markets in...
