Proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs) on the low voltage network comes with a myriad of power quality problems such as voltage fluctuations and poor harmonic performance. Distributed mitigation solutions are being proposed for the low voltage network which are similar to state-of-the-art solutions in medium voltage networks. This paper presents a μ-STATCOM device as a distributed solution...
Traditionally, electric utilities have been maintaining their customer voltages within the desired limits by operating the primary devices, such as transformers with load tap changer (LTC), voltage regulators, and capacitor banks. In recent years, new advanced systems, such as conservation voltage reduction (CVR) have been implemented on the distribution systems with the main goal of reducing the...
Microgrid is any subset of a distribution grid that can be islanded from the grid and continue to operate as a distributed energy resource (DER). Recent advances in technology have enabled the creation of microgrid test beds, with distributed generation (DG) and energy storage providing sufficient energy to power the loads within the Microgrids. Duke Energy is developing a new Microgrid test bed at...
