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

The unpredictable and volatile nature of renewable energy sources (RESs) will increase the burden of a system operator for maintaining the system reliability in different conditions. In this paper, a stochastic risk-constrained framework is proposed for short-term optimal scheduling of autonomous microgrids to evaluate the influence of demand response (DR) programs on reliability and economic issues, simultaneously. The objective is to maximize the expected profit of the microgrid operator through optimal scheduling of resources in a more reliable manner considering both supply and demand side uncertainties. In the proposed approach, the microgrid operator’s risk aversion is modeled by using the conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) method to control and avoid non-desirable profit distributions due to various system uncertainties. Moreover, AC optimal power flow (AC-OPF) technique is employed to calculate the amount of energy and reserve of dispatchable distributed generation (DG) units and responsive loads for the operational hour of the next day. Eventually, the applicability of the proposed method is studied on different test systems and impacts of various parameters such as level of DR participants and values of lost load (VOLL) as well as risk aversion parameter on the system’s economy and reliability indices are investigated deeply.
