Distributed energy resources (DE) with power electronics (PE) interfaces with the right control are capable of providing reactive power related ancillary services. Voltage regulation in particular has drawn much attention. In this paper the challenges to control multiple DEs to regulate the local voltage in distribution systems is addressed and a decentralized adaptive voltage control method is proposed...
This paper presents results on an ongoing work in the area of power quality and network performance improvements utilizing Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) in power systems. The work presented particularly addresses the optimization of switching and selection of installed DERs within the network and the analysis of their impacts on the power quality, particularly, performance measures related to...
Recently, the U.S. Government has mandated the transformation of the existing electric grid into a “smart” grid through the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA07) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. To create a “smart” grid, intelligence must be incorporated at all levels of the electric power grid, especially at the distribution level. Using Title XIII of the EISA07...
Recently, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has inaugurated an Engineering Research Center dedicated to Future Renewable Electric Energy Distribution Management (FREEDM). The premise of the center is to enable the utilization of renewable resources in power distribution systems through the utilization of solid state controllers and direct digital control. The center is at an initial stage and...
