Increasing the share of renewable energy in the future electricity market requires measures
to maintain the stability of the grid, owing to the volatility and intermittency of renewable …

Operational flexibility in thermal power plants has assumed a growing significance in
maintaining power grid stability primarily driven by the increased penetration of intermittent …

Accurate power forecasting is of great importance to the turbine control and predictive
maintenance. However, traditional physics models and statistical models can no longer …

A transformation of the electricity generation system is required to drastically reduce the
associated CO 2 emissions. In future systems, variable renewable energy sources (wind and …

The effects of links among the carbon price, feed-in tariff (FIT), and peak shaving price on
flexible transformation in coal-fired power plants are not well understood. To address this …

Future electrical power supplies will primarily consist of renewable energy sources. Because
of the recent price reduction for photovoltaic (PV) modules, PV systems will play a major role …

In the context of renewables penetration, coal-fired power plants are required to operate at
the minimum load in low-demand periods of the grid. However, combustion in the boiler will …

The current load balance in the grid is managed mainly through peaking fossil-fuelled power
plants that respond passively to the load changes. Intermittency, which comes from …

This paper summarizes 20 year of experience by the authors with the ThermoPower library,
an open-source Modelica library containing basic components for the dynamic modelling of …

Large-scale integration of renewable generation into power systems invariably affects the
system ramping capability. However, the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept that allows for using …
