Control Strategy of Intergrated Photovoltaic-UPQC System for DC-Bus Voltage Stability and Voltage Sags Compensation

An Optimal Control Strategy for DC Bus Voltage Regulation in Photovoltaic System with Battery Energy Storage

This paper presents an evaluation of an optimal DC bus voltage regulation strategy for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system with battery energy storage (BES). The BES is connected to the PV system DC bus using a DC/DC buck-boost converter. The converter facilitates the BES power charge/discharge to compensate for the DC bus voltage deviation during severe disturbance conditions. In this way,...

A New Control for Series Compensation of UPQC to Improve Voltage Sag/Swell

Voltage sag/swell is one of the most frequently power quality problems which affects the power systems with sensitive loads. The unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is capable of mitigating the effect of voltage sag/swell at the load or point of common coupling (PCC). In this paper, a new control of UPQC is proposed based on combining the sag detection and voltage injection established on ...

Impact of Voltage Sags on DC Bus Voltage in Unipolar LVDC Systems

DC Bus Voltage Control for a Distributed Power System

This paper addresses voltage control of distributed dc power systems. DC power systems have been discussed as a result of the introduction of renewable, small-scale power generation units. Also, telecommunication power systems featuring UPS properties might benefit from a broader introduction of dc power systems. Droop control is utilized to distribute the load between the source converters. In...

A New Control Strategy for Voltage Restoration and Voltage Unbalance Compensation in an Islanded Droop-Controlled Microgrid

Low voltage microgrids including sensitive loads often face unbalanced load conditions. Therefore, a compensation procedure should be carried out in order to balance and restore sensitive load’s voltage. In this paper, an effective voltage control strategy has been proposed for the autonomous operation of microgrids, under unbalanced load conditions.  The proposed strategy balances single-phase...
