Page 7: Research news on Power system flexibility

Power system flexibility refers to the technical, economic, and institutional capabilities that allow electricity systems to accommodate variable renewable generation and dynamic demand while maintaining reliability. Work in this area develops control strategies for distributed energy resources, flexible electric vehicle charging, and building loads, alongside grid-forming converters, storage integration, and virtual batteries. It also encompasses local and wholesale market designs, policy and governance frameworks, and AI-based forecasting and optimization tools that coordinate flexible assets to enhance resilience, reduce grid reinforcement needs, and support decarbonization goals.

Study finds reliability is key to making buses more sustainable

A University of Bath study shows that while electric buses are cheaper to fuel and maintain than diesel, they can spend longer off the road due to parts shortages and the need for specialist repairs. The research is published ...

AI-based method can optimize photovoltaic-battery storage systems

Solar power generation largely depends on weather conditions. When generation deviates from the planned output, the electricity market imposes penalty fees called "imbalance penalties." Researchers at University of Tsukuba ...
