Dynamics Of A Hydro-Wind Hybrid Isolated Power System, M Aktarujjaman, Kashem M. Muttaqi, Michael Negnevitsky, Gerard Ledwich Jan 2005

Dynamics Of A Hydro-Wind Hybrid Isolated Power System, M Aktarujjaman, Kashem M. Muttaqi, Michael Negnevitsky, Gerard Ledwich

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Implementation of Distributed Generation (DG) can improve power quality and reliability, and guarantee continuity of power supply. This paper addresses the issue of continuity of power supply especially for isolated communities. A part of a network can be electrically isolated from the main grid when the grid fails to supply power due to a fault in the network or unavailability of power generation. In this paper, a mini hydro-wind hybrid power system is considered, and operation and control of the hybrid system during connecting it with the grid as well as its operation in the isolated condition are investigated. The …


Issues For Connection Of Distributed Generation In Rural/Remote Power Systems, Kashem M. Muttaqi, Gerard Ledwich, Michael Negnevitsky Jan 2003

Issues For Connection Of Distributed Generation In Rural/Remote Power Systems, Kashem M. Muttaqi, Gerard Ledwich, Michael Negnevitsky

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Connection of distributed generation (DG) into a distribution grid system affects the normal operation, control and protection of the distribution system. This paper addresses some of the technical issues arisen due to the addition of generation to a rural/remote distribution network. In this paper, a voltage controlled rotary DG is modelled to operate in the line of voltage sensitivity for maximum voltage improvement. A scenario-based study on DG operation and control has been conducted and recommendations for effective operation of DG presented. An investigation on barriers to inclusion of utility owned and customer owned DG has been carried out and …
