The book opens by introducing basic principles and challenges of modern energy systems and the role of DERs in resolving issues, as well as regulatory considerations and frameworks across a variety of distributions. It goes on to demonstrate and evaluate mathematical modeling and optimizing methods, including robust and adaptive robust methods, the two-stage stochastic method, and bi-level optimization approaches.
This theory is then applied to a range of test-cases which use the DER aggregator as either price-maker or price-taker, apply Karush-Kahn-Tucker condition, dual theory approaches, and bilateral contacts, TSO-DSO cooperation, and decision-making tools. With a practical, holistic approach, this book supports graduate students, researchers, and industry engineers in energy systems modeling to design sustainable power grids for the future.
