This paper presents a toolbox created with the purpose of offering support for power engineering students to better understand the power system steady-state operation and active power flow control using a phase-shifting transformer (PST). The toolbox consists of a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows the user to define scenarios, run the load-flow calculation and select scenarios in order to...
PV systems, due to their economies of scale, are nowadays increasingly adopted. The direct consequence of these economies is the cost reduction of the commercial PV technologies (in particular, the crystalline silicon one). Thus, the goal of this paper is to analyze and assess the energy and economic benefits of a PV system integration onto a public library building. The simulations of PV and load...
When it comes to improving the power losses and the economic reliability indicators of an active distribution grid, the network reconfiguration is one of the most encountered solutions. Many algorithms are appropriate to carry out such an operation. A good comparison from the point of view of the results and computation performance can be made when Simulated Annealing and Tabu Search are used. Thus...
The Distributed Generation (DG) systems of today face a multitude of problems, among which the pollutant emissions and the energy efficiency play a key role. In this sense, the study of optimal operation strategies for such systems becomes highly important. Thus, the purpose of this work will be to investigate using the Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA II) the operation of a 4 gas microturbine...
The integration of renewables in the distribution grid has come to play an important role during the last decade. One of the ways to do it efficient is through grid reconfiguration for power loss reduction since reconfigurable networks with low resistive losses accept more intermittent renewable generation than static ones. Thus, in this paper two reconfiguration methods for a distribution network...
Smart Grids is already considered an attractive topic in the power engineering education programs. Politehnica University of Bucharest has a unique profile in the engineering higher education landscape by including among its 14 Faculties, one dedicated to Power Engineering and another one to Electrical Engineering. In this paper we focus on the smart grids topics that the students enrolled in non-power...
With the recent advances in the field of applications which require a certain power level over a short period of timeand with the air-quality constraints which have become more stringent in the last few decades, the energy storagesystems (ESSs) have come to play a crucial role for the electric grid. Various aspects such as the historical evolutionof ESSs, technical characteristics, and applications...
