Smart Grid is expected to improve the reliability and efficiency while reducing the carbon footprint of energy sector. The incorporation of renewable generations at customer premises is a viable method to increase the renewable component of generation in Smart Grid. However, the random and intermittent nature of power generation is an inherent challenge for the operation of power grids with high penetration...
Cell balancing is vital for ensuring the safety and life of batteries. Due to temperature and current variations in different cells can lead to cell imbalance. Among the approaches available for cell balancing, dissipative cell balancing is less efficient due to inherent losses associated with the balancing strategy. Though non-dissipative balancing minimizes losses they either suffer from longer...
Non-conventional distributed renewable energy sources like wind and solar are increasingly becoming popular world over. A significant amount of these energy sources are expected to be connected to the distribution network due to their low spatial density. But the intermittent and random nature of these sources challenges the stability of the network. As such the power imbalance and hence the voltage...
Integration of large scale renewable energy sources into power grid, battery energy storage performs an important role for smoothing their natural intermittency and ensuring grid-wide frequency stability. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle and electric vehicle have potential of alternative of the battery because of its high performance lithiumion battery and longer plug-in time than driving time. Therefore,...
The power outputs of non-conventional renewable sources are random and intermittent in nature. The integration of such sources in large numbers into existing power networks in the future could make the reliable and stable operation of power systems highly challenging. In this paper, the performance of a method based on balancing active power near real time, to reduce power fluctuations produced by...
Within a carbon constrained world, the proportion of generation from nonconventional renewable energy sources in the generation mix of power systems, is expected to increase substantially. The generation from renewable sources, connected to power networks mostly at distribution level, will change the traditional power flow patterns and produce adverse power fluctuations due to its random nature. Although...
