Adaptive Sliding Mode Control of Multi-DG, Multi-Bus Grid-Connected Microgrid

This paper proposes a new adaptive controller for the robust control of a grid-connected multi-DG microgrid (MG) with the main aim of output active power and reactive power regulation as well as busbar voltage regulation of DGs. In addition, this paper proposes a simple systematic method for the dynamic analysis including the shunt and series faults that are assumed to occur in the MG. The pres...

A New Algorithm for Load Flow Analysis in Autonomous Networks

In this paper, a novel algorithm for the load flow analysis problem in an islanded microgrid is proposed. The problem is modeled without any slack bus by considering the steady state frequency as one of the load flow variables. To model different control modes of DGs, such as droop, PV and PQ, in an islanded microgrid, a new formula for load flow equations is proposed. A hybrid optimization alg...

Integrated Fault-detection and Control of DC Microgrids Using SDRE Observer-controller

In this paper, using the state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) technique, a suboptimal fault-tolerant control scheme is designed for a DC microgrid in the islanded mode. The objectives are the voltages control of the photo-voltaic cell, the battery, the capacitor bank, and the DC bus as well as on time fault detection. In the design procedure of the SDRE observer-controller, a nonlinear mathe...

System Stability-Constrainted Optimal Protection Coordination in the Microgrid Including Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Storage

In this paper, the system stability-constrianted optimal protection coordination (SSCOPC) as stochastic problem in the microgrid with grid-connected and islanded operation modes, including renewable energy sources (RESs) and energy storage systems (ESSs), is presented. This problem to optimal regulation of the dual setting overcurrent relays (DSORs) and selecting the reactance size of fault cur...
