Design of a Flexible and Modular Test Bed for Studies on Islanded Microgrids
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-22)The last two decades in the electric power sector have been increasingly dominated by a rising interest in the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into electric power systems, many of them based on renewable ... -
Modeling, Stability Analysis, and Control of Distributed Generation in the Context of Microgrids
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-21)One of the consequences of competitive electricity markets and international commitments to green energy is the fast development and increase in the amount of distributed generation (DG) in distribution grids. These DGs ... -
The New AC/DC Hybrid Microgrid Paradigm: Analysis and Operational Control
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-03)AC/DC hybrid microgrids (HMGs) represent a promising architecture that allows the hosting of innovative dc energy resources, such as renewables, and modern dc loads, such as electric vehicles, thereby reducing the number ... -
New Analysis and Operational Control Algorithms for Islanded Microgrid Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-14)Driven by technical, economic and environmental benefits for different stakeholders in the power industry, the electric distribution system is currently undergoing a major paradigm shift towards having an increasing portion ... -
On Techno-economic Evaluation of Wind-based DG
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-22)The growing interest in small-scale electricity generation located near customers, known as Distributed Generation (DG), is driven primarily by emerging technologies, environmental regulations and concerns, electricity ... -
Optimal Siting and Sizing of Solar Photovoltaic Distributed Generation to Minimize Loss, Present Value of Future Asset Upgrades and Peak Demand Costs on a Real Distribution Feeder
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-31)The increasing penetration of distributed generation (DG) in power distribution systems presents technical and economic benefits as well as integration challenges to utility engineers. Governments are beginning to acknowledge ... -
A Universal Islanding Detection Technique for Distributed Generation Using Pattern Recognition
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)In the past, distribution systems were characterized by a unidirectional power flow where power flows from the main power generation units to consumers. However, with changes in power system regulation and increasing ...
