This paper provides a new approach to find the optimal location for Microgrids (MGs) in electric distribution systems using complex network analysis. An optimal location in this paper refers to a location that would result in increased grid resilience, reduced power losses, less line loading, higher voltage stability and secured supply to critical loads during power outage. The criteria used to find...
Resilience of the power grid is most challenged at power blackouts since the issues that led to it may not be fully resolved by the time the power is back. In this paper, a Real-Time Energy Management Algorithm (RTEMA) has been developed to increase the resilience of power systems based on the controlled delivery grid (CDG) concept. In a CDG, loads communicate with a central controller, periodically...
In this paper, the impact of clustering multiple microgrids during blackouts, on their stability and supply availability, will be investigated. Microgrids have the capability of satisfying their emergency loads during blackouts. However, distributed energy resources (DERs)-dominated microgrids are affected by the uncertainty of their input energy supply, e.g. impact of solar irradiance on photovoltaic...
In this paper, an overview of the most recent advances in DC power systems is presented. Due to the significantly increasing interest that DC power systems have been gaining lately, researchers investigated several of the issues that need to be considered during this transition interval from current conventional power systems into modern smart grids involving DC microgrids. The efforts of these researchers...
This paper presents the design and implementation of a programmable load emulator that has the ability to emulate the active power-versus-time load data collected using smart meters. This load emulator can then be used as for hard-ware-in-the loop implementation during the development phase of energy management algorithms. In addition, the developed load emulator can simultaneously be programmed to...
This paper presents a controlled reactive power compensator (RPC) for a stand-alone synchronous generator (SG)-based wind energy conversion system (WECS). The proposed controlled RPC consists of a synchronous condenser (SC), an AC/DC converter whose output supplies the excitation circuit of the SC, and a control scheme that adapts the converter output to supply the field voltage required to fit the...
