Local Digital Control Of Power Electronic Converters In A Dc Microgrid Based On A-Priori Derivation Of Switching Surfaces, Bibaswan Banerjee Jan 2013

Local Digital Control Of Power Electronic Converters In A Dc Microgrid Based On A-Priori Derivation Of Switching Surfaces, Bibaswan Banerjee

Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports - Open

In power electronic basedmicrogrids, the computational requirements needed to implement an optimized online control strategy can be prohibitive. The work presented in this dissertation proposes a generalized method of derivation of geometric manifolds in a dc microgrid that is based on the a-priori computation of the optimal reactions and trajectories for classes of events in a dc microgrid. The proposed states are the stored energies in all the energy storage elements of the dc microgrid and power flowing into them. It is anticipated that calculating a large enough set of dissimilar transient scenarios will also span many scenarios not specifically …


Islanded Operation Of A Distribution Feeder With Distributed Generation, Chandu Venu Jan 2009

Islanded Operation Of A Distribution Feeder With Distributed Generation, Chandu Venu

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

A distribution system that is equipped with distributed generators, such as roof-mounted photovoltaic systems, can operate as a microgrid (i.e., separated from the grid) under some specific conditions. A key feature of a microgrid is its ability to separate and isolate itself from the utility seamlessly with little or no disruption to the loads within the microgrid. Then, when the utility grid returns to normal, the microgrid automatically resynchronizes and reconnects itself to the grid, in an equally seamless manner. This thesis addresses the conditions necessary for proper microgrid operation: these include local generation-load mismatch, local energy storage, load switching, …
