Considering photovoltaic inverters (PVs) as controllable VAr sources pave the way for an effective implementation of conservation voltage reduction (CVR) in distribution systems with multiple voltage regulating devices, this paper proposes some acceptable approximations to formulate a linear least-squares problem for optimizing a CVR implementation on the smart grid platform. The optimization problem...
Uncertainties in distributed generation with renewable sources, and load fluctuations due to demand response, require the Distribution System Operator to have tools to coordinate supply and demand with an adequate quality of service. A cost optimization method is proposed for this purpose, based on two time-scales: a slow scale were topology changes and transformer taps are varied with their operation...
A robust power sharing controller for single phase inverter has been developed for the microgrid emergency condition where it is islanded from the main grid, and no communication available. In order to design a robust controller, the Glover McFarlane H infinity synthesis method is used. This design method guarantees the robustness of the droop controller and it allows to specify the settling time...
A surge of needs for the low carbon society promotes a spread of electric vehicle (EV). EVs could be charged at night simultaneously, as a result, severe voltage drop may happen. Typical charger for EV employs the self-commutated inverter, which can control both active and reactive powers in principle. The authors are investigating the availability of EVs for the distribution system operation qualitatively,...
Small- and large-scale wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) generation systems are interconnecting to the distribution system at a rapid pace. Penetration limits are often imposed due to the impact these additional distributed resource can have on voltage. In order to accommodate high penetration scenarios without impacting power quality or reliability, additional control functions must be utilized. A...
This paper gives the State Space modeling of Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM). It is important to keep the voltage constant in the distribution system, hence voltage regulation is required in the distribution network. Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based D-STATCOM achieves voltage regulation in the connected bus by absorbing/supplying the required reactive power. The capability...
