Control of Voltage Source Converter Based Multi Terminal DC and Hybrid AC/DC Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-11-20)The journey of power systems started with the development of the dc technology pioneered by Thomas Edison in the late 19th century. Meanwhile, Nicola Tesla led the investigation of ac technology, which soon surmounted the ... -
Distributed Secondary Control of Hybrid ac/dc Microgrids
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-25)This thesis focuses on studying hybrid ac/dc-microgrids, composed of an ac-microgrid and a dc-microgrid, connected by Interlinking Converters (ICs). Specifically, this work is focused on developing distributed secondary ... -
Frequency and Voltage Control of a Grid of Microgrids
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-21)The rapid proliferation of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) in recent years has resulted in significant technical challenges for power system operators and planners, mainly due to the particular characteristics of some ... -
Modelling, Control, and Planning of Microgrids for Power Quality Assurance
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-15)This thesis considers power quality improvement for microgrids penetrated with nonlinear loads at two levels: 1) at the device level, which is carried out through the distributed generators’ (DGs’) controllers on a ... -
Robust Energy Management Systems for Isolated Microgrids Under Uncertainty
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-15)Microgrids are small and local clusters of generation and load operated in a coordinated manner. These systems are being enhanced with Smart Grid technologies in order to better integrate more Renewable Energy (RE) sources ...
