In this paper, we present a performance comparison of three different MAC layer protocols that can be used in access BPL for power grid monitoring and control. Since the traditional power supply monitoring network is gradually being replaced by a new way of distributed generation. The advanced possibilities of decentralized intelligent control, multi-route massive data communication, and fast-acting...
To realize the emerging potential of Distributed Generation (DG), a system approach which views generation and associated loads as microgrids is becoming a promising solution for the future power infrastructure. However, DG implies unpredictability of the energy production, in addition to the unpredictability of energy consumption. On the purpose of matching electricity supply and demand, an agent-based...
Teaching courses on and doing research in the application of distributed generation in general and microgrids in particular requires a flexible experimentation environment. The core hereof is a versatile 4-wire power electronics inverter allowing to implement grid-connected front-ends of small generators and different types of loads as well as power conditioning devices in the same lab environment...
Customers in liberalized energy markets do not have tools in hand to contribute to the balancing of undispatchable distributed generation and the uncontrolled loads. This paper discusses how an activation of the loads could make users more involved in energy markets and indirectly support the sustainable deployment of distributed generation often based on locally available renewable energy sources...
The motivation to develop microgrids, as a particular form of active networks is explained and presented as an effective solution for the control of grids with high levels of distibuted energy resources. The operation, more in particular the voltage and frequency control, is discussed. Control concepts useful with microgrids are detailed and implemented. Besides technical control aspects, also economical...
