Highlights of Research Ideas:
Demand Mangement of Power Systems
- Demand Management prevents outages
- Nonlinear pricing can extract maximum value from demand management contracts
- Customer outage cost function can be calibrated from existing utility data
- The importance of location can be incorporated into the demand management contracts
- Available cost effective load relief is a substitute for building extra generation
- It leads to robust cost effective systems
- Demand management can also be used by regulators, ISOs, and others
Renewable Energy Sources
- High solar energy potential needs to be utilized in North Cyprus
- A hybrid system of solar and wind energy can help produce a better energy system in North Cyprus
- Hybridization depends on the availability of sufficient wind speeds
- Every power system has a certain percentage of renewable energy tolerance
- Connection of renewable energy sources into the system can cause problems for the power grid and needs to be done properly
