microgrids are nowadays used to produce electric energy with more efficiency and advantage. however, the use of microgrids presents some challenges. one of the main problems of the microgrids widely used in electrical power systems is the control of voltage, frequency and load sharing balance among inverter- based distributed generators (dgs) in islanded mode. droop method performance degrades ...

Voltage stability issues are growing challenges in many modern power systems. This paper proposes optimizing the size and location of Static VAR Compensator (SVC) devices using a Fuzzy Weighted Seeker Optimization Algorithm (FWSOA), as an effective solution to overcome such issues. Although the primary purpose of SVC is bus voltage regulation, it can also be useful for voltage stability enhance...

This paper proposes the virtual flux based direct power control for Vienna rectifier. No need for the input voltage sensors, the current regulation loop and PWM voltage modulation block along with the active and reactive power decoupling are some of the salient advantages of this method that make it suitable for controlling the conventional active rectifiers. However, due to the three-level nat...

This paper presents a new control scheme that permits flexible power sharing between parallel inverters connected to microgrid operating in an island mode. The presented processes the information of active and reactive output powers from all central controller calculates set points for each inverter, based on desired ratios their powers. These necessitate adjustment inverters’ terminal voltages...

− The study presented in this paper aims to develop a new method for active and reactive power balancing in a four-wire stand-alone microgrid (MG), which feds single phase loads. Two unbalance compensation controllers are used, for active and reactive powers. The compensation is based on a dump load (DL) and a static compensator (STATCOM), which ensure the balance of the active and reactive pow...
