In this paper, an attempt has been made to introduce a new control strategy including Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and Diesel engine generator to control the voltage and frequency of autonomous microgrids. The proposed control strategy has multiple advantages over the recent control methods in microgrids. The proposed method applies the primary and secondary frequency control strategy...

Scheduling the power exchange between a population of heterogeneous distributed energy resources and corresponding upper level grid is an important control problem in systems. A key challenge large number (partially uncertain) variables that increase computational burden complicate structured consideration uncertainties. Reducing decision by means aggregation can help alleviate these issues. Ho...

Distributed energy resources, such as electric vehicles and roof-top solar panels have become increasingly popular essential components of power distribution systems. However, their growth poses significant challenges to system operation, bidirectional flow, intermittent generation, increased peak demand, unexpected frequency/voltage fluctuation. To tackle these challenges, we developed a vehic...

The IEC 61850 standard originally was developed for the substation automation. During the past years it was adapted for the integration of distributed energy resources into communication networks, however, with specific requirements. Many small and midsize manufacturers are using, as controllers, a big variety of different microprocessors with limited performances. Such controllers need an inte...
