This paper presents a comprehensive overview of power converters and their control techniques for AC microgrids. The aim is to give an insight and direction for researchers and applications on promising topologies, control, and application within future smart grid. The paper first focuses on presenting various power converter topologies used in AC microgrids. Then, suitable control techniques for...
This paper proposed an adaptive impedance control method in multi-bus distributed islanded micrigrid to share reactive power accurately and suppress circulating current. The multi-bus distributed microgrid is more complicated than one-bus because of its different bus voltages and variable structure. To deal with the power sharing problem in multi-bus distributed islanded micrigrid, two methods have...
It is believed that renewable energy can help to ease the shortage of fossil fuels, and to protect environment. Moreover, microgrid provides a practical way for renewable energy and electric vehicles to access the grid easily. In this paper, a PV hybrid DC/AC microgrid which based on the DC microgrid is proposed. It combines the advantages of simple control of DC microgrids and the novel uninterruptible...
In hybrid microgrids, integration of multiple renewable energy sources to AC and DC buses of grid require a boost and multi-level inverters. Depending on the requirement, these boost and multi-level converters are connected either in parallel or in cascaded. In this parallel or cascaded arrangement the device count and control complexity increases. And, also it requires a separate AC and DC output...
The massive penetration of renewable energy sources in the utility grid has emerged as the solution to obtain clean energy in modern electric systems, which are gradually replacing their generators that produce CO2 emissions to achieve a sustainable growing. Power electronics is quite relevant in the deep penetration of renewable energy, because the use of such equipment is mandatory to integrate...
Power systems of the future are believed to be shaped by the introduction of smart grids and microgrids where distributed generation is dominant at the distribution level. DC distribution is also a potential microgrid solution. Distributed generation and loads interconnect to DC-common feeders via power electronics interfaces. This paper aims at reviewing how recent innovations in power electronics...
Electrical energy demands are increasing day by day and application of renewable energy system is going to play major role to fulfill the demands. The microgrid is an electrical power system that incorporates distributed energy resources, distributed storage and local load. The microgrid can operate in shunt with the utility grid or in stand-alone mode. To increase the availability, the microgrids...
DC microgrids can connect directly dc renewable energy sources with increasing amount of dc loads. In this paper it is looked for possible architectures for integrating PV panels into dc microgrids, by means of microconverter strings. Three topologies are considered, featuring only buck microconverters and only boost microconverters, since they promise higher efficiency due to fewer semiconductors...
This paper presents a power decoupling method based on a novel four-switch three-port DC/DC/AC converter in DC microgrid, which can restrain the low-frequency ripple power caused by the single-phase inverter. The proposed topology is compact and cost effective in consideration of that no extra switches or devices are required compared with. With the model of the proposed DC/DC/AC converter, the power...
This paper presents a hybrid off-grid power system consisting of two PV Arrays, two generator sets, two charge controllers, two bi-directional inverters and two battery banks. This paper outlines different topologies for optimum energy extraction from solar panels, minimization of generator fuel consumption, and assurance of higher reliability through redundancy. Controller Area Network (CAN) messages...
