The schematic diagram of the main system of 100.7 kW is shown in Fig. 5.1. The modeling and simulation has been done using Matlab/Simulink software. The main system parameters are given in Table 5.3. The system is simulated with zero initial conditions hence results are settling down to steady-state values after transient period. The MPPT […]

The proposed method is applied to the abovementioned distribution network. According to a sensitivity analysis, the number of generations and the population size are chosen as, 300 and 20, respectively. The method has been implemented in MATLAB® incorporating some features of MATPOWER suite [19] and MAT – LAB® toolbox for GA [27] on a laptop […]

Since DFIG is the prevailing wind generation type nowadays, variable-speed wind generator is modeled as DFIG in this study. WT3 wind model has been developed in PSS®E to simulate the performance of a DFIG-based wind generator with basic active power control [27]. There are four basic components within DFIG model (usually referred to as WT3 […]

The main objective of load-sharing is to distribute the active and reactive loads among the available DGs while maintaining voltage regulation and accommo­dating various types of loads [13]. In LV and MV networks, load-sharing becomes challenging due to the following factors. • Most DGs have some local loads, • Most DGs are non-dispatchable RESs, and […]

N. K. Roy and H. R. Pota Abstract Distributed generation (DG) is gaining popularity as it has a positive environmental impact and the capability to reduce high transmission costs and power losses. Although the integration of renewable energy-based DG will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it will rely heavily on new ways of managing system […]

First-generation mass-market PHEVs, such as the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf [10, 11], connect to the grid for only battery charging, which is the most basic configuration. G2V includes conventional and fast battery charging systems, and the latter can stress a grid distribution network because its power is high, as a typical PHEV requires more […]

Power Line Communication (PLC) technologies explore the use of electric power lines as a medium to convey a bidirectional data exchange. In recent years, SG activities, in-building communications and home automation have brought a lot of attention to PLC as an alternative to unwanted or impractical wiring to setup communication networks. Power lines are inherently […]

Figure 12.20 compares the MG frequency behavior during the reconnection of loads and non-controllable MS when considering both non-controlled charging and V2G service. At t = 5 s the MGCC enables the reconnection of the first load block causing a frequency deviation of 1.5 Hz, which is then corrected by the secondary control by increasing […]
