Decentralized Energy Resources (DER), such as residential prosumers, can sufficiently provide ancillary services to the network. In this paper, the optimal power management of a smart residence during frequency support mode of operation is proposed. The residence comprises an electric vehicle, a battery pack, RES and loads with demand response capabilities. A Multiport Power Converter (MPC) interfaces the aforementioned modules and the power grid. An optimization algorithm is used to calculate the optimal power setpoints of the MPC ports in order to maximize flexibility of the system while satisfying all goals and constraints.This research has been co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union and Greek national funds through the Operational Program Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, under the call RESEARCH - CREATE - INNOVATE (project code: Τ2ΕDΚ-01775).http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/11th International Conference on Modern Circuits and Systems TechnologiesProceedings of the 11th International Conference on Modern Circuits and Systems Technologies Kalaitzakis Iason-Christos Καλαιτζακης Ιασων-Χρηστος Dakanalis Michail Δακαναλης Μιχαηλ Kanellos Fotios Κανελλος Φωτιος Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Electric vehicles Energy storage system Optimal power management Frequency support Demand response
