FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Efforts towards decarbonized economy has added new pressures in the distribution network, especially with increased penetration of distributed generation, electrification of transportation, etc. It demands breakthrough technologies to be developed in different sectors such as in power systems, power electronics, communication, among others. The work of this dissertation investigates a twofold approach of distribution energy resources (DERs) implementation to address the challenges faced by modern power distribution network. The first approach is to develop advance control techniques for smart inverters that interlinks DERs to the grid to facilitate grid support services. A complexity reduced finite control set model predictive direct …

Parameter Estimation And Charge Control In Standalone And Grid-Tied Batteries, Asadullah Khalid

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Energy storage systems are the critical components enabling an electrified future ranging from electric vehicles (EVs) to microgrid (MG) applications. With the advancements in these applications, the operational dynamics of electrochemical energy storage such as Lithium-ion batteries need to be analyzed from the lifecycle impact, cybersecurity, balancing requirements, and prognostics perspectives. These operations enable the interconnected systems to be secure, efficient, and self-adaptive while reducing greenhouse emissions.

This research aims to develop threefold solutions. The first objective of this dissertation is to analyze lifecycle impact, quantify the interconnection requirements of battery energy storage systems, and evaluate cybersecurity frameworks for battery …
