This paper introduces an extension of an algorithm for fault detection and localization in active radial distribution networks based on state estimation and phasor measurement devices. This work takes into account the possibility of changing the network topology through switching devices, usually as a consequence of the protection system...

The efforts toward a sustainable society require the increasing adoption of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) at all levels of the power grid. Installation of energy storage systems is a key intervention for managing the new security and environmental needs brought by the RESs volatility. This is especially important for transmission networks...

In this paper, a method to evaluate the flexibility of aggregates of domestic electric water heaters is proposed and applied to the Italian case. Flexibility is defined as the capability of the aggregate to vary its power demand for a given time interval. The evaluation method consists of a Monte Carlo analysis, that uses the thermal model of...

In this paper, a method to quantify the flexibility of aggregates of domestic heat-pump electric water heaters for the provision of system services is proposed. Flexibility is defined as the capability of the aggregate to modify its power demand for a given time interval. The method uses the dynamical model of the water heaters and a stochastic...

This paper considers the problem of fault detection and localization in active distribution networks using Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). The proposed algorithm consists in computing a set of weighted least squares state estimates whose results are used to detect, characterize and localize the occurrence of a fault. Moreover, a criteria to...
