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, we propose a frequency-based autonomous control strategy for an isolated microgrid with the grid-forming energy storage system (ESS) in the South Korean island of Geocha. This strategy uses a system frequency as a global data signal using a grid-forming ESS. The distributed generation (DG) units in the microgrid use the frequency as a control signal without communication because the...
In last ten years many developed and developing countries move towards green power. Most of them installed green power like wind generator and solar cell with storage device at distribution level. Interconnecting and facilitating the distribution power system with advanced control, communication and information technology is challenging task. The aim of Integrating Green Power Generators in microgrid...
Fractional order control theories have attracted increasing attentions recently due to their better control performance than traditional integer-order controllers, but there are few research works concerning their applications of power systems and power converters.

In this paper, control and operation of a microgrid having inverter based solar photovoltaic (PV) and diesel engine is presented. The microgrid is designed to meet rural applications. In the proposed microgrid, a water pumping system is considered as a dump load for ensuring economic operation of microgrid. Three scenarios i.e fully loaded, partially loaded and lightly loaded are considered to evaluate...
Due to the inherently distributed and heterogeneous nature of the microgrids, distributed control can be a promising approach to improving the stability, reliability and scalability of the microgrids compared with centralized control strategies. This work studies the distributed reactive power sharing problem for a microgrid with connected AC inverters. Under the lossless assumption of the microgrid,...
This paper presents research power losses analysis in Mae Sariang microgrid system (MGs) by installing distribution generators (DGs). The studied case is located in Mae Sariang district, Mae Hong Son province which is a remote area. The main grid cannot supply sufficient active power to high consumption load in the system because there are high power losses occur in 22 kV transmission lines. This...
Microgrids are characterized as weak systems with poor power quality due to significant variations in frequency and/or voltage that can occur during sudden changes in load demand. This problem is exacerbated in cases where one of the power sources is tied to the microgrid through a grid-interactive inverter which is designed to trip when deviations in frequency and voltage exceed well-defined thresholds...

The proposal is to manage the microgrid according to the solution an optimization problem aimed to minimize an economic objective function. Microgrid performance...
This paper deals with a voltage disturbance generator output characteristics. Usually a microgrid is connected to utility grid through STS to disconnect in case of fault occurrence. The STS should be opened in case of outage, however, it may be connected in case of voltage sag occurrence. The magnitude of surge or over current through the STS is determined by the dip of the sag. The voltage disturbance...

The PV array is connected at DC-link of the VSC through a boost converter. A high order optimization...
