Microgrids can bring electricity power to rural communities or isolated military forward operation bases. For many rural areas, renewable powers could be the cheapest power sources available. Utilizing renewable power sources and energy storage systems such as batteries requires new power and voltage control strategies. In addition, these microgrids may be reconfigured frequently. Therefore, th...

: 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 contro...

Multiple microgrids (MGs) close to each other can be interconnected construct a cluster enhance reliability and flexibility. This paper presents comprehensive comparative review of recent studies on DC MG clusters’ control strategies. Different schemes regarding the two significant aspects networked MGs, namely DC-link voltage power flow between are investigated. A discussion about architecture...

As the demand of Electricity is increasing day by day and is already more than the production of Electricity whereas reserves of fossil-fuel are depleting, there is a strong need to shift for other sources which are renewable energy sources. Regarding this, DC micro grids and their energy management of these renewable energy sources have gained more importance which is discussed in this paper. ...

Alibeik, Maryam. MSECE, Purdue University, August 2014. Different Configurations of Microgrids and Power Converters. Major Professor: Dr. Euzeli dos Santos Jr. This thesis proposes a two-phase microgrid system with voltages in quadrature. The two-phase microgrid system presents the following advantages: 1) constant power through the power line at balanced condition; 2) two voltages available by...
