Optimal Design And Planning Of Hybrid Ac/Dc Microgrid, Hossein Lotfi
Optimal Design And Planning Of Hybrid Ac/Dc Microgrid, Hossein Lotfi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The traditional approach for microgrid design and deployment has been mainly focused on AC systems. DC microgrids, however, are gaining attention due to numerous advantages they provide over AC microgrids, such as removing the need for synchronization and frequency adjustment as well as appropriateness in supporting DC loads and distributed energy resources (DERs). Moreover, considering that both AC and DC DERs are utilized in microgrids, hybrid microgrids would provide viable and economic solutions as they can potentially eliminate the need for AC-to-DC or DC-to-AC voltage conversions. This dissertation focuses on a hybrid microgrid planning model with the objective of minimizing …
