Abstract:

Hybrid AC/DC microgrids facilitate the procedure of DC power connection into the conventional AC power system by developing the distributed generations (DGs) technologies. The conversion processes between AC and DC electrical powers are more convenient by hybrid systems. In this paper, an energy management system (EMS) for a hybrid microgrid network is proposed due to the optimal utilization of renewable energy resources. EMS is designed based on two separate control parts, including proportional resonance (PR) and proportional integral (PI) controllers for managing the performance of two distribution generator (DG) and photo-voltaic (PV) sources. The novelty of implemented control scheme is the accurate prediction and recognition of load demand range with considering the DC bus voltage for coordinating the local sources. The advantage of this method is the proper control of both stable and transient states in power-sharing moments. The simulation results verify that the system outputs satisfy the load and power network requirements.

Distributed Control Strategy for Autonomous Operation of Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid

This paper proposes a distributed control strategy that considers several source characteristics to achieve reliable and efficient operation of a hybrid ac/dc microgrid. The proposed control strategy has a two-level structure. The primary control layer is based on an adaptive droop method, which allows local controllers to operate autonomously and flexibly during disturbances such as fault, loa...

A Novel Hybrid Droop-Isochronous Control Strategy for Microgrid Management

The droop control strategy is the most common approach for microgrids control but its application is limited due to frequency deviation following a load change. Complementary control strategy has then been proposed to solve the problem using a communication network. However, under this strategy, regular loads profile produces a continuous change of output power of all distributed generators (DG...

A Hybrid Hierarchical Schema-Based Architecture for Distributed Autonomous Agents

The advent of inexpensive computers has spurred interest in distributed architectures, in which a cluster of low-cost cornpeters can achieve performance on the same scale as expensive super-computers. The goal of research in distributed systems is to take a highly decomposable problem solution, and put that solution into a framework that allows the system to take full advantage of the sohition’...

Distributed Load-Shedding System for Agent-Based Autonomous Microgrid Operations

A microgrid is an eco-friendly power system because renewable sources are used as main power sources. In the islanded operation mode of a microgrid, maintaining the balance between power supply and power demand is a very important problem. In the case of surplus supply, decreased generation output and/or charge of distributed storages can be applied to solve the imbalance between power supply a...
