Dr. Mostafa Vahedipour received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Birjand in 2017. His doctoral research focused on demand management in smart microgrids with an emphasis on ensuring system security. During this period, he was awarded a prestigious scholarship from the Iranian Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, which enabled him to conduct research as a visiting researcher at Aalborg University, Denmark, from 2016 to 2017.

After completing his Ph.D., Dr. Vahedipour continued his academic career as an Assistant Professor at the University of Birjand, where he played an active role not only in research but also in educating and training future generations of engineers. In 2020, he was awarded an international research fellowship at the University of Salerno, Italy, where he focused his research on energy management in smart grids. This collaboration expanded his research expertise and led to stronger interactions with the University of Vaasa, Finland where he was a post doc researcher.

Currently, Dr. Vahedipour is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Birjand, Ferdows Faculty of Engineering. ALso, now, he is working as a team leader at Nowocert, research and Innovation Division, Dublin, Ireland. 

In parallel, he serves as a member of the Board of Directors of Saha Niroo Savis Company, a technology-based company operating in the field of energy management in Iran. His dual roles in academia and industry have enabled him to bridge the gap between research and practical solutions in energy management.

Abstract

Uncertainties in renewable energy resources and electricity demand have introduced new challenges to energy and reserve scheduling of microgrids, particularly in autonomous mode. In this study, a risk-constrained stochastic framework is presented to maximise the expected profit of a microgrid operator under uncertainties of renewable resources, demand load and electricity price. In the proposed model, the trade-off between maximising the operator's expected profit and the risk of getting low profits in undesired scenarios is modelled by using the conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) method. The influence of consumers’ participation in demand response (DR) programs and their emergency load shedding for different values of lost load (VOLL) are then investigated on the expected profit of the operator, CVaR, expected energy not served and scheduled reserves of the microgrid. Moreover, the impacts of different VOLL and risk aversion parameters are illustrated on the system reliability. Extensive simulation results are also presented to illustrate the impact of risk aversion on system security issues with and without DR. Numerical results demonstrate the advantages of customers’ participation in the DR program on the expected profit of the microgrid operator and the reliability indices.
