Seamless Transition Of A Microgrid Between Grid-Connected And Islanded Mode, Julie B. Matarweh Aug 2022

Seamless Transition Of A Microgrid Between Grid-Connected And Islanded Mode, Julie B. Matarweh

Boise State University Theses and Dissertations

This thesis focuses on improving the behavior of inverters during transition periods from islanded mode to grid-connected mode (GC) and vice-versa. A systematic approach is presented to add smart features to inverters to enhance their capability to cope with sudden changes in the power system.

The importance of microgrids lies in their ability to provide a stable and reliable source of power for critical loads in the presence of faults. For this purpose, a design is proposed consisting of a distributed energy resource (DER), battery energy storage system (BESS) and a load connected through a bypass switch with the main …
