DC microgrids are growing in popularity due to their advantages terms of simplicity and energy efficiency while connecting dc sources loads. In traditional hierarchical schemes, optimization control implemented at different time scales. The loose integration lowers its makes it hard achieve real-time optimization. Even a slight disturbance can result deviations bus voltages output currents from...

Limited global information in dc microgrids with distributed cooperative control makes them vulnerable to cyber attacks, which can lead their destabilization and shut down. Here, we discuss a novel false data injection attack (FDIA) model, termed as the concurrent attack, that compromise local communicated estimated voltages simultaneously. We formalize such an could be disguised conventional F...

This paper presents flexible operating modes of marine DC microgrids and main advantages employing energy storage systems into such microgrids. Scaled-down with two buses integrated storages are considered in this paper. To verify superior features the solid-state technologies systems, a wide range system experimentally demonstrated, ranging from basic to advanced modes: voltage regulation, pow...

Direct current (DC) distribution systems and DC microgrids are becoming a reliable and efficient alternative energy system, compatible with the DC nature of most of the distributed energy resources (DERs), storage devices and loads. The challenging problem of redesigning an autonomous DC-grid system in view of using energy storage devices to balance the power produced and absorbed, by applying ...
