Performance Assessment of an Energy Management System for a Home Microgrid with PV Generation (2020)
Journal Article
Elkazaz, M., Sumner, M., Pholboon, S., Davies, R., & Thomas, D. (2020). Performance Assessment of an Energy Management System for a Home Microgrid with PV Generation. Energies, 13(13), https://doi.org/10.3390/en13133436

Home energy management systems (HEMS) are a key technology for managing future electricity distribution systems as they can shift household electricity usage away from peak consumption times and can reduce the amount of local generation penetrating i...

A hierarchical two-stage energy management for a home microgrid using model predictive and real-time controllers (2020)
Journal Article
Elkazaz, M., Sumner, M., Naghiyev, E., Pholboon, S., Davies, R., & Thomas, D. (2020). A hierarchical two-stage energy management for a home microgrid using model predictive and real-time controllers. Applied Energy, 269, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2020.115118

This paper presents a hierarchical two-layer home energy management system to reduce daily household energy costs and maximize photovoltaic self-consumption. The upper layer comprises a model predictive controller which optimizes household energy usa...

A Fault Location Scheme for Active Untransposed Distribution Systems Using a Limited Number of Synchronized Measurements (2020)
Journal Article
Aboshady, F., Thomas, D., & Sumner, M. (2020). A Fault Location Scheme for Active Untransposed Distribution Systems Using a Limited Number of Synchronized Measurements. Electric Power Components and Systems, 48(1-2), 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1080/15325008.2020.1731880

This paper presents a fault location scheme for unbalanced and untransposed distribution systems which contain different types of distributed generation (DG). A general formula has been derived for any fault type using a limited number of synchronize...
