Optimal Power Equipment Sizing and Management for Cooperative Buildings in Microgrids

Economic Droop Scheme for Decentralized Power Management in DC Microgrids

This paper proposes an autonomous and economic droop control scheme for DC microgrid application. In this method, a cost-effective power sharing technique among various types of DG units is properly adopted. The droop settings are determined based on an algorithm to individually manage the power management without any complicated optimization methods commonly applied in the centralized control ...

Decentralized Control Strategy for Optimal Energy Management in Grid-Connected and Islanded DC Microgrids

This paper proposes a decentralized control technique to minimize the total operation cost of a DC microgrid in both grid-connected and islanded modes. In this study, a cost-based droop control scheme based on the hourly bids of all participant distributed generators (DGs) and the hourly energy price of the utility is presented. An economic power sharing technique among various types of DG unit...

Power-optimal Simultaneous Buffer Insertion/sizing and Wire Sizing

This paper studies the problems of minimizing power dissipation of an interconnect wire by simultaneously considering buffer insertion/sizing and wire sizing (BISWS). We consider two cases, namely minimizing power dissipation with optimal delay constraints, and minimizing power dissipation with a given delay penalty. We derive closed form optimal solutions for both cases. These closed form solu...

Optimal Placement and Sizing of TCSC & SVC for Improvement Power System Operation using Crow Search Algorithm

Abstract: The need for more efficient power systems has prompted the use of a new technologies includes Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices. FACTS devices provides new opportunity for controlling the line power flow and minimizing losses while maintaining the bus voltages within a permissible limit. In this thesis a new method is proposed for optimal placement and sizing of Thyristo...
