DC and AC microgrids are key elements to integrate renewable and distributed energy resources as well as distributed energy storage systems. In the last years, efforts toward the standardization of these microgrids have been made. In this sense, this paper present the hierarchical control derived from ISA-95 and electrical dispatching standards to endow smartness and flexibility to microgrids. The...
A systematic methodology for smooth connection of wind-turbine-driven doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) to the grid is presented. Synchronization of the voltage induced in the DFIG open stator to that of the grid, which needs to be accomplished prior to connection, is thoroughly examined. A particular grid-voltage-oriented rotor control scheme is considered for this purpose. Generic tuning equations...
A novel single-phase buck-boost converter is proposed for wind turbine applications in both grid-connected mode and stand-alone mode. Topologically, the proposed converter has a low component count with only three power switches, while conventional wind turbine converters may require five switches in two-stage power conversions for the same functions. Functionally, the new converter can adapt to a...
A grid connected power generation systems based on the superior controllers of an active and reactive power are useless during a grid failures like grid short-circuit or line braking. Therefore the change of operation mode from grid connection to stand alone allows for uninterruptible supply of a selected part of grid connected load. However, in the stand alone operation mode the superior controllers...
