Thesis abstract
The primary goal of my PhD project is to develop an innovative control scheme that enables various assets, including EV chargers, energy storage systems, and PV generators, to actively participate in both the energy and ancillary services markets. Existing methodologies in the literature typically focus on optimizing the operation of aggregated energy systems by consolidating the overall demand that needs to be satisfied. This consolidation helps in determining the optimal aggregated power exchange with the grid. However, my project goes a step further by requiring the determination of energy exchange with the grid for each individual EV charging station. This ensures that each station can adequately meet its specific load requirements. To achieve this, it is crucial to take into account the diverse characteristics and regulations of different European markets. Additionally, the control scheme must be implemented on Atlante’s infrastructure, which consists of distributed energy resources and numerous charging points. By addressing these complexities, the project aims to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the energy system, paving the way for a more sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure.
Personal interest in my research theme
I am motivated to work on this PhD project because I am eager to address the challenges associated with integrating renewable energy sources into the power grid. By developing a control scheme that optimizes the participation of EV chargers, energy storage systems, and PV generators in energy markets, I aim to contribute to a more efficient and resilient energy system.
