Design And Implementation Of Ccny Dc Microgrid Testbed, Mahmoud Saleh, Yusef Esa, Yassine Mhandi, Werner Brandauer, Ahmed Mohamed Oct 2016

Design And Implementation Of Ccny Dc Microgrid Testbed, Mahmoud Saleh, Yusef Esa, Yassine Mhandi, Werner Brandauer, Ahmed Mohamed

Publications and Research

This paper presents the design, control, energy management, and implementation of the City College of New York (CCNY) direct current (DC) microgrid laboratory testbed. This facility was custom designed and implemented by researchers at CCNY with minimal off-the-shelf components to enable significant flexibility and reconfiguration capability. The microgrid consists of renewable energy resources, energy storage system and controllable loads, and can operate in either a grid-connected or an islanded mode. The design steps, requirements, and results of the developed testbed were discussed. Moreover, several operational scenarios were tested. The experimental results verify the applicability and flexibility of the developed microgrid …


System Frequency Support Of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator-Based Wind Power Plant, Ziping Wu Jan 2016

System Frequency Support Of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator-Based Wind Power Plant, Ziping Wu

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

With ever-increasing penetration of wind power into modern electric grids all over the world, a trending replacement of conventional synchronous generators by large wind power plants will likely result in the poor overall frequency regulation performance. On the other hand, permanent magnet synchronous generator wind Turbine System (PMSG-WTG) with full power back to back converters tends to become one of the most promising wind turbine technologies thanks to various advantages. It possesses a significant amount of kinetic energy stored in the rotating mass of turbine blades, which can be utilized to enhance the total inertia of power system. Additionally, the …
