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...

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. (online). Data-driven estimation of the amount of under frequency load shedding in small power systems. Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence,

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...

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
Ferrandon-Cervantes, C., Kazemtabrizi, B., & Troffaes, M. (2022). Inclusion of Frequency Stability Constraints in Unit Commitment Using Separable Programming. Electric Power Systems Research, 203, Article 107669. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsr.2021.107669

In this paper we address the problem of frequency stability in the unit commitment (UC) optimisation process. We include a set of appropriately defined frequency stability constraints in the UC problem formulation for operational planning scenarios i...
