A Techno-Economic Analysis Using DERs on Apartments as Virtual Power Plants Based on Cooperative Game Theory

A Hybrid Approach for Fair Energy Distribution and Optimal Resource Allocation in Decentralized Energy Systems

Decentralized energy communities (DECs) allow households, prosumers, and small generators to trade electricity locally, improving grid flexibility and supporting renewable integration. However, local market designs often face a trade-off between efficiency and fairness. Efficiency-oriented settlement rules can produce...

Strategic Planning of Non-Wires Alternatives in Distribution Networks Using a Cooperative Game-Theoretic Approach

The increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) as non-wires alternatives (NWAs) is transforming distribution network planning. However, existing approaches are typically based on centralized frameworks and do not account for multiple independent investors. This work proposes a methodology based on co...

Optimization of virtual power plant aggregation based on the differentiated adjustment ability of demand-side resource

Techno-Economic and Environmental Analysis of a Grid-Connected Hybrid Energy System for Sustainable Campus Electrification in Pakistan

Educational institutions in developing countries face increasing electricity demand, frequent power outages, and rising operational costs due to their heavy reliance on utility grids and diesel generators. This study evaluates a grid-connected hybrid energy system (HES) for the Balochistan University of Information Tec...

Evaluation of Green Strategies for Inland Vessels and Government Subsidy Policies by Evolutionary Game Model

Environmental sustainability has become an increasingly critical issue in the inland shipping sector. The adoption of green-fuelled vessels, data-driven speed optimization enabled by digital and intelligent technologies, and the use of shore power during berthing can substantially reduce harmful emissions from shipping...

Battery Swapping Stations for Grid Peak Shaving Under Virtual Power Plant Aggregation: A Complex-Network Evolutionary Diffusion Analysis

The rapid growth of distributed renewable generation and electric vehicles has increased the demand for flexible peak-shaving resources. Battery swapping stations (BSSs), which centrally manage standardized batteries under the battery-as-a-service model, can provide station-to-grid (S2G) services when aggregated by vir...
