Solar photovoltaic distributed generation (PV-DG) systems are one of the fastest-growing types of renewable energy sources being integrated worldwide onto distribution systems. Many North American utilities, governed by state or provincial incentives and/or mandated by green-generation portfolio requirements, are facing installations of large PV plants with capacities in the order of several megavoltamperes...

Fault contribution of grid-connected inverters

D. Turcotte, F. Katiraei

2009 IEEE Electrical Power&Energy Conference (EPEC) > 1 - 5

2009 IEEE Electrical Power & Energy Conference (EPEC 2009)

The distribution grid is mainly built on a radial configuration where power is coming from one transformer substation to supply clients. Up to recently, in the rare cases where distributed generation existed, it was almost exclusively constituted of rotating machines, which have quite a different behaviour under fault than inverter-based sources. Consequently, current connection impact assessments...

2008 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting

Sustainable (renewable) energy market is stimulated by political and economical pressure to reduce ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo emissions (United Nations Kyoto Protocol, signed by 169 countries, representing 61.6% of emissions, on December 2006), and the necessity to decrease oil demand dependency. This pressure translates into a rapidly increasing number of alternative energy financial and legislation...

2008 IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting - Conversion and Delivery of Electrical Energy in the 21st Century > 1 - 6

2008 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting

Planned islanding application, also known as intentional islanding, is an early utility adaptation of the Microgrid concept that is being promoted by major utilities around the world. The main objective of planned islanding projects in Canada is to enhance customer-based power supply reliability on rural feeders by utilizing an appropriately located independent power producer (IPP). This paper considers...

Design for distributed energy resources

J. Driesen, F. Katiraei

IEEE Power and Energy Magazine > 2008 > 6 > 3 > 30 - 40

The blackout experiences have demonstrated the vulnerability of the interconnected electric power system to grid failure caused by natural disasters and unexpected phenomena. Changes in customer needs, additional stress due to liberalized electricity markets, and a high degree of dependency of today's society on sophisticated technological services also intensify the burden on traditional electric...

IEEE Power and Energy Magazine > 2008 > 6 > 3 > 54 - 65

The environmental and economical benefits of the microgrid and consequently its acceptability and degree of proliferation in the utility power industry, are primarily determined by the envisioned controller capabilities and the operational features. Depending on the type and depth of penetration of distributed energy resource (DER) units, load characteristics and power quality constraints, and market...

Dynamic analysis and field verification of an innovative anti-islanding protection scheme based on directional reactive power detection

F. Katiraei, A. Foss, C. Abbey, B. Strehler

2007 IEEE Canada Electrical Power Conference > 183 - 188

2007 IEEE Canada Electrical Power Conference (EPC '07)

Based on current utility practice, anti-islanding protection is one of the main protection requirements for interconnection of a distribution generation (DG) to the medium and low voltage grids. For connecting a small synchronous generator to the utility grid, DG interconnection guidelines require the use of a transfer-trip scheme when the minimum load of a connecting feeder is less than twice the...

Small-signal dynamic model of a micro-grid including conventional and electronically interfaced distributed resources

F. Katiraei, M.R. Iravani, P.W. Lehn

IET Generation, Transmission & Distribution > 2007 > 1 > 3 > 369 - 378

A systematic approach to small-signal modelling of a micro-grid system that includes conventional (rotating machine) and electronically interfaced distributed resource (DR) units is presented here. The proposed approach incorporates fundamental frequency deviations in the overall system model and provides a methodology for the analysis of autonomous micro-grid, which inherently is more prone to frequency...

2007 IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting

This paper introduces an energy-flow model developed for performance analysis and unit sizing of an autonomous wind-diesel microgrid. A remote community in Canada is used as the study system, for which a medium penetration wind power plant has been integrated into a system served by a diesel plant with three equally sized diesel generators. Based on field observations and monitored data for almost...

IEEE Transactions on Power Systems > 2006 > 21 > 4 > 1821 - 1831

This paper addresses real and reactive power management strategies of electronically interfaced distributed generation (DG) units in the context of a multiple-DG microgrid system. The emphasis is primarily on electronically interfaced DG (EI-DG) units. DG controls and power management strategies are based on locally measured signals without communications. Based on the reactive power controls adopted,...

Proceedings of 2005 IEEE Conference on Control Applications, 2005. CCA 2005. > 1668 - 1673

2005 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (CCA)

This paper presents an adaptive approach for reactive current extraction and adaptive shunt compensation of a three-phase system under unbalanced and time-varying frequency conditions. The reactive current component is extracted based on the concept of instantaneous symmetrical components. The extracted signals are then utilized by a shunt, PWM, voltage-sourced converter to adaptively compensate the...
