Journal Article
Sarvarizadeh, M., Rajabdorri, M., Lobato, E., Sigrist, L., Kazemtabrizi, B., & Troffaes, M. (2025). Under Frequency Load Shedding Aware Unit Commitment in Island Power Systems. International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems, 170, Article 110884. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijepes.2025.110884

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources in power systems has resulted in lower system inertia and deteriorated frequency response characteristics. The challenge becomes even more pronounced in island power systems, where low iner... Read More about Under Frequency Load Shedding Aware Unit Commitment in Island Power Systems.

Data-driven estimation of the amount of under frequency load shedding in small power systems (2024)
Journal Article
Rajabdorri, M., Troffaes, M. C. M., Kazemtabrizi, B., Sarvarizadeh, M., Sigrist, L., & Lobato, E. (2025). Data-driven estimation of the amount of under frequency load shedding in small power systems. Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, 139(Part B), Article 109617. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engappai.2024.109617

This paper presents a data-driven methodology for estimating under frequency load shedding (UFLS) in small power systems. UFLS plays a vital role in maintaining system stability by shedding load when the frequency drops below a specified threshold fo...

Data-Driven Infrastructure Planning for Offshore Wind Farms (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Saxena, I., Kazemtabrizi, B., Troffaes, M. C., & Crabtree J., C. (2024, May). Data-Driven Infrastructure Planning for Offshore Wind Farms. Presented at Torque 2024, Florence, Italy

Offshore wind farms are one of the major renewable energy resources that can help the UK to reach its net zero target. Under the 10 point plan of the green revolution, the UK is set to quadruple its wind energy production by increasing its offshore w...

Inclusion of frequency nadir constraint in the unit commitment problem of small power systems using machine learning (2023)
Journal Article
Rajabdorri, M., Kazemtabrizi, B., Troffaes, M., Sigrist, L., & Lubato, E. (2023). Inclusion of frequency nadir constraint in the unit commitment problem of small power systems using machine learning. Sustainable Energy, Grids and Networks, 36, Article 101161. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.segan.2023.101161

As the intention is to reduce the amount of thermal generation and to increase the share of clean energy, power systems are increasingly becoming susceptible to frequency instability after outages due to reduced levels of inertia. To address this iss... Read More about Inclusion of frequency nadir constraint in the unit commitment problem of small power systems using machine learning.

Inclusion of Frequency Stability Constraints in Unit Commitment Using Separable Programming (2021)
Journal Article
