A robust grid structure, which makes use of distributed renewable energy generation, should consist of grid sections, which are able to seamlessly switch between grid-connected and islanding mode of operation. This way, failures in the upper level part of the grid can be mitigated. This contribution discusses local and supervisory control strategies, and requirements for microgrids. A robust hierarchical...
The energy crisis and environmental concern lead to widely use of renewable energy sources in form of microgrid. The intermittent nature of the microgrid's sources and the altering behaviors of loads result to unstable of the system's voltage and frequency as well as the system reliability. The purpose of this paper is to develop real-time control based decentralizing technique for handling the challenging...
In this paper, a decentralized control methodology based on hierarchical control levels is investigated. In recent years, efforts have been made to develop standards for Microgrids (MGs), and the decentralized control method evaluated here is based on the IEC/ISO 62264 standard. Since the main challenge to decentralized control in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) is the different levels of stored...
Two-level energy management system is proposed and developed for coordination control of practical microgrid with distributed renewable sources and energy storages. A SCADA system has been developed to provide real time information of network information and individual components and to control operation of individual inverters and converters in order to achieve smooth and quick system operating mode...
Automatic synchronizing systems are used to reconnect multiple islanded power grid sections. These systems are required to function automatically with minimal human supervision because they must dispatch multiple generators simultaneously to reduce slip and voltage difference at the interconnection point. This paper describes a smart automatic synchronizing system that can connect multiple generators...
The successful deployment of microgrid is a necessity for meeting the ever increasing energy demands. The various tasks that are linked with the microgrid such as resource allocation, resource optimization, power flow analysis, economic dispatch etc can be met with a control model with the hierarchical structure based on cloud computing architecture. The architecture has the advantages that resource...
This paper describes an approach to demonstrate the operation of virtual synchronous generators (VSG) in practical distribution systems. After an extensive simulation phase at laboratory scale, the field demonstration is planned at two sites located in the Netherlands and in Romania, for small VSGs of 10 times 5 kW and one large VSG of 100 kW respectively.
