The power system of the future is an intelligent grid capable of a number of functionalities. These functionalities will enable the power system to exhibit behaviours that enhance the reliability and security of the power system. This modern power system is called the smart grid. In order to ensure proper operation of the smart grid, it is important that its constituent parts operate satisfacto...

Enabling electricity markets is one of main characteristics of a smart grid that integrates advanced sensing technologies, control methodologies, and communication technologies into current power distribution systems. Intelligent Multi-Agent System (MAS) that provides platform for modeling autonomous decision making entities in de-centralized fashion can be used to implement market based power ...

Recently, Brushless Cascaded Doubly Fed Induction Generator (BCDFIG) has been considered as an attractive choice for grid-connected applications due to its high controllability and reliability. In this paper, a Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) method with active and reactive power control capability in grid-connected mode is proposed for controlling the BCDFIG in a way that...

136 Abstract— This paper presents a single-phase, single-stage current source inverter (CSI) based photovoltaic system (PV) for grid connection. A double-tuned parallel resonant circuit is designed to attenuate the secondand fourthorder harmonics at the inverter dc side. It helps to improve the power quality and system efficiency. A modified carrier based modulation technique for the current so...

This paper proposes a new single phase transformerless Photovoltaic (PV) inverter for grid connected systems. It consists of six power switches, two diodes, one capacitor and filter at the output stage. The neutral of the grid is directly connected to the negative terminal of the source. This results in constant common mode voltage and zero leakage current. Model Predictive Controller (MPC) tec...

This paper proposes a control methodology for compensation of grid voltage unbalances using a new scheme of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based on a series grid side converter (SGSC), the seriesDFIG scheme. In such DFIG scheme, the grid side converter (GSC), which is usually connected in parallel to the machine stator, is replaced by the SGSC, connected in series with the machine stator...

We consider multiprogramming operation in large scale grid-connected multicomputer systems where the grid is spatially partitioned among the programs. We regard the problem as a two-dimensional resource allocation problem for which different algorithms are proposed. Results from simulation experiments indicate the performance that can be achieved in terms of fragmentation and throughput.
