Virtual Impedance Based Decentralized Control For A Microgrid System, Ramkrishna Mishan Jan 2020

Virtual Impedance Based Decentralized Control For A Microgrid System, Ramkrishna Mishan

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

As greenhouse gases produced from the conventional power plant causes global climate change, using renewable energy sources (RESs) in the future power system is inevitable. To minimize greenhouse gases emission, the interest in renewable grid or micro-grid is growing nowadays. In the microgrid, especially in AC microgrids, converters play an important role in many areas, including microgrid integration, uninterrupted power supply, and flexible alternating current transmission systems. Inverter plays an essential role in grid integration because it serves the interface between the energy source and the power grid. The important aspect of the inverter is control. This thesis studies several …


The Wireless Control Network: A New Approach For Control Over Networks, Miroslav Pajic, Shreyas Sundaram, George Pappas, Rahul Mangharam Oct 2012

The Wireless Control Network: A New Approach For Control Over Networks, Miroslav Pajic, Shreyas Sundaram, George Pappas, Rahul Mangharam

Rahul Mangharam

We present a method to stabilize a plant with a network of resource constrained wireless nodes. As opposed to traditional networked control schemes where the nodes simply route information to and from a dedicated controller (perhaps performing some encoding along the way), our approach treats the network itself as the controller. Specifically, we formulate a strategy for each node in the network to follow, where at each time-step, each node updates its internal state to be a linear combination of the states of the nodes in its neighborhood. We show that this causes the entire network to behave as a …


Closing The Loop: A Simple Distributed Method For Control Over Wireless Networks, Miroslav Pajic, Shreyas Sundaram, Jerome Le Ny, George J. Pappas, Rahul Mangharam Oct 2012

Closing The Loop: A Simple Distributed Method For Control Over Wireless Networks, Miroslav Pajic, Shreyas Sundaram, Jerome Le Ny, George J. Pappas, Rahul Mangharam

Rahul Mangharam

We present a distributed scheme used for control over a network of wireless nodes. As opposed to traditional networked control schemes where the nodes simply route information to and from a dedicated controller (perhaps performing some encoding along the way), our approach, Wireless Control Network (WCN), treats the network itself as the controller. In other words, the computation of the control law is done in a fully distributed way inside the network. We extend the basic WCN strategy, where at each time-step, each node updates its internal state to be a linear combination of the states of the nodes in …
