Modeling, Analyses And Assessment Of Microgrids Considering High Renewable Energy Penetration, Qiang Fu
Theses and Dissertations
Microgrids are receiving attention due to the increasing need to integrate distributed generations and to ensure power quality and provide energy surety to the customers. Since renewables need to be in the mix for energy surety, a high renewable-energy penetrated microgrid is analyzed in this paper. The standard IEEE 34 bus distribution feeder is adapted and managed as a microgrid by adding distributed generation and load profiles. The 25kV system parameters are scaled down to 12kV and renewable sources including solar PV and wind turbines, an energy storage system, and a natural gas generator have been added to the 34-bus …
Optimal Reactive Power Planning For Distribution Systems Considering Intermittent Wind Power Using Markov Model And Genetic Algorithm, Cheng Li
Theses and Dissertations
Wind farms, photovoltaic arrays, fuel cells, and micro-turbines are all considered to be Distributed Generation (DG). DG is defined as the generation of power which is dispersed throughout a utility's service territory and either connected to the utility's distribution system or isolated in a small grid. This thesis addresses modeling and economic issues pertaining to the optimal reactive power planning for distribution system with wind power generation (WPG) units. Wind farms are inclined to cause reverse power flows and voltage variations due to the random-like outputs of wind turbines. To deal with this kind of problem caused by wide spread …
