Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officers' congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
Renewable energy sources (RESs), distributed energy sources (DERs), and energy storage systems (ESSs) grid integration resulted in forming microgrid (MG) concept. Recently, DC microgrids (DC-MGs) have gained intensive attention compared to AC microgrids due to their high reliability and efficiency, easy interface with RESs and ESSs, and simple control. Proper power sharing is one of the most important...
Outages in a transmission line occur due to failures that can develop abruptly, intermittently or incipiently. The incipient form of outage allows the monitoring and prediction of a possible fault. The incipient faults is often due to insulation problems, whether due to stresses, natural degradation or vandalism. Recent researches aim to diagnose failures in the isolation of transmission sections,...
Recently, the integration of distributed generation (DG) units to distribution networks has grown significantly. This integration provides an opportunity to control the power flow, resulting in the optimal power flow (OPF) at the distribution level. OPF can reduce system losses and decrease the DG generation costs. Additionally, it can improve the voltage profile. Applying OPF to distribution networks...
This paper presents a novel optimization method called flower pollination algorithm to solve the optimal placement problem of phasor measurement units (PMUs) in electrical power systems for achieving full system observability. PMU is considered as a one of the most important measuring devices used for improving state estimation of power system. This problem aims to minimize the number of PMUs to achieve...
In this paper, a novel low-cost power filter/compensator device is developed and validated for voltage stabilization, power factor correction and harmonic distortions mitigation. The operation of the power filter/compensator device is based on the intermittent switching between a double tuned filter and a series compensator. The switching process is achieved by a pulse signal generated from pulse-width...
We are considering the problem of controlling a single-phase Multicellular inverter with LC output filter. The control objectives are: (i) generating a sinusoidal voltage with amplitude and industrial frequency fixed by the reference signal, (ii) ensuring a good convergence of the voltages across the flying capacitors. The controller is designed using the backstepping approach in its adaptive versions...
The widespread adoption of Renewable Energy Resources (RER) and Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) in distribution systems has achieved a substantial energy share, allowing the microgrid to participate in the open market. In fact, the high penetrations of RER and PEVs have increased the importance of impact assessment involving system protection. A framework is presented in this paper for modeling the...
In India, the total transmission and distribution losses are as high as 22.77 percentage and the theft of the electricity is also a huge issue. This scenario is not only in India but it is also there in many developing countries. To solve the issues related to high losses in the distribution stage of power system for agricultural loads of rural areas, High Voltage Distribution System (HVDS) has been...
As days go, renewable energy resources getting lot of consideration due to the growing demand of energy. In view of all the renewable energy resources, solar energy is very prominent because sunlight is obtainable all over the year. This research work concentrates on performance and reliability enhancement of grid-connected Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) power conversion system with a prominent implementation...
In this study, a novel mode l of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) based off the 2016 Chevy Volt is implemented and examined. The study will also examine the operation of the modified Series Parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle (SPHEV) and modeled powertrain components contained within. The 2016 Chevy Volt has six unique modes of operation; however, the dual Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) EV...
Power harvested from an onboard energy scavenging system is a function of road roughness, vehicle speed, a vehicle's suspension system, and driver behavior. We assert that such system may not only be a source for harvesting electrical power, but also the basis of valuable data that can be used in several expedient ways. In this paper, we propose a system architecture, and present a prototype that...
Photovoltaics (PV) are considered as one of the most promising renewable energy source for Singapore. This paper proposes an optimization strategy for a distribution grid that includes PV. The objective is to provide optimal grid operation for seamless integration of distributed generation (DG). A novel approach for grid reconfiguration considering a probabilistic statistical model for the solar irradiance...
In this paper an instantaneous maximum power extraction scheme is proposed as a PV power optimizer. The presented power harvesting scheme is rely on a weather-based power forecasting model in which the instantaneous value of the maximum power that should be extracted from the individual PV module is computed. The control unit of the proposed dc power optimizer is composed of a PI power controller...
Hydrogen is considered a viable option for replacing fossil fuels not only because it can reduce the emissions but it also can be used as a storage option to balance the electricity grid. Current research aims the economic analysis of hydrogen production in context of a microgrid which includes 3 levels of supply, conversion and storage and primary end user. The economic feasibility of hydrogen production...
Management of residential electricity consumption is one of the important issues for energy efficiency and future smart grid systems since residential demand constitutes large percent of overall electrical energy consumption. Therefore, demand side management systems, named as home energy management systems at the residential level, are being implemented under the new smart grid concept. Analyzing...
