Voltage Stability Of Power Systems With Renewable-Energy Inverter-Based Generators: A Review, Nasser Hosseinzadeh, Asma Aziz, Apel Mahmud, Ameen Gargoom, Mahbub Rabbani
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
© 2021 by the authors. The main purpose of developing microgrids (MGs) is to facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into the power grid. RESs are normally connected to the grid via power electronic inverters. As various types of RESs are increasingly being connected to the electrical power grid, power systems of the near future will have more inverter-based generators (IBGs) instead of synchronous machines. Since IBGs have significant differences in their characteristics compared to synchronous generators (SGs), particularly concerning their inertia and capability to provide reactive power, their impacts on the system dynamics are different compared to …

In the revolution of green energy development, microgrids with renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and fuel cells are becoming a popular and effective way of controlling and managing these sources. On the other hand, owing to the intermittency and wide range of dynamic responses of renewable energy sources, battery energy-storage systems have become an integral feature of microgrids. Intelligent energy management and battery sizing are essential requirements in the microgrids to ensure the optimal use of the renewable sources and reduce conventional fuel utilization in such complex systems. This paper presents a novel approach to meet these requirements …
Stability Analysis Of An Autonomous Microgrid Operation Based On Particle Swarm Optimization, Waleed Al-Saedi, Stefan Lachowicz, Daryoush Habibi, Octavian Bass
Stability Analysis Of An Autonomous Microgrid Operation Based On Particle Swarm Optimization, Waleed Al-Saedi, Stefan Lachowicz, Daryoush Habibi, Octavian Bass
Research outputs 2012
This paper presents the stability analysis for an inverter based Distributed Generation (DG) unit in an autonomous microgrid operation. The small-signal model of the controlled Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) system is developed in order to investigate the dynamic stability for the given operating point and under the proposed power controller. This model includes all the details of the proposed controller, while no switching actions are considered. System oscillatory modes and the sensitivity to the control parameters are the main performance indices which are considered, particularly when the microgrid is islanded or under the load change condition. In this work, the …

Fuzzy Logic For Smart Utilisation Of Storage Devices In A Typical Microgrid, Thair Mahmoud, Daryoush Habibi, Octavian Bass
Research outputs 2012
Efficient utilisation of Storage Devices (SD) among multiple sources of dispatch within a typical microgrid have a substantial impact on reducing the economic and environmental generation costs in that particular microgrid. Eventually, managing the multiple sources that supply energy simultaneously is a big engineering challenge. The complexity rises due the uncertainty of demand, generation cost, availability of renewable energy sources and (charging/discharging) time and price for the installed SD. This paper introduces a utilisation method that makes the SD more efficient in supplying the electricity within a typical medium size enterprise microgrid. The method is simply targeting the dynamic charging …

Power Quality Improvement In Autonomous Microgrid Operation Using Particle Swarm Optimization, Waleed Al-Saedi, Stefan W. Lachowicz, Daryoush Habibi, Octavian Bass
Research outputs 2011
This paper presents an optimal power control strategy for an autonomous microgrid operation based on a real-time self-tuning method. The purpose of this work is to improve the quality of power supply where Distributed Generation (DG) units are connected to the grid. Dynamic response and harmonics distortion are the two main performance parameters which are considered in this work, particularly when the microgrid is islanded. The controller scheme is composed of an inner current control loop and an outer power control loop based on a synchronous reference frame and the conventional PI regulators. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is an intelligent …
