PHEVs Park as Virtual Unified Power Flow Controllers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unified power flow controllers (UPFCs) are FACTS devices which can fulfil multiple power-flow control objectives, such as the need for reactive shunt compensation, phase shifting and series compensation. However, as they are quite expensive, they are not widely used. In this paper, the potential of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) in a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) mode of operation using a PHEV charging station to provide a low-cost solution to the design of a virtual UPFC is explained. A third-order dynamic battery model is used to represent the PHEV, and the simulations carried out demonstrate that a PHEV has the potential to work as a virtual UPFC to improve power quality.

Wind powers are very unstable in voltage fluctuations, especially in short circuit error and sharp and sudden voltage drops, which one of its main reasons is the use of induction generators in these power plants and thus need to reactive power and high magnetizing current. To improve the ride_through voltage from WECS in error conditions and damping the oscillations of the induction generator r...

The endeavor for a more sustainable power generation has led to a dramatic increase in power generation from renewable energy sources (RES), such as wind and solar. These sources are of fluctuating nature and therefore introduce new challenges to power system operation, which was historically designed for generators with constant infeed. The fluctuations are balanced by ancillary services contr...
