System Stability-Constrainted Optimal Protection Coordination in the Microgrid Including Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Storage

In this paper, the system stability-constrianted optimal protection coordination (SSCOPC) as stochastic problem in the microgrid with grid-connected and islanded operation modes, including renewable energy sources (RESs) and energy storage systems (ESSs), is presented. This problem to optimal regulation of the dual setting overcurrent relays (DSORs) and selecting the reactance size of fault cur...

Optimal Use of Energy Storage Systems with Renewable Energy Sources

Renewable energy sources (RES) are very likely to continue the upward capacity trend witnessed in the past years. The reasons for adoption are varied and respond to both market pressures, influence of government intervention and a raised awareness of the consequences on the environment of the current generation fleet. The change from dispatchable generation to an environment in which Independen...

Using Dynamic Thermal Rating and Energy Storage Systems Technologies Simultaneously for Optimal Integration and Utilization of Renewable Energy Sources

Nowadays, optimal integration and utilization of renewable energy sources (RES) are of the most challenging issues in power systems. The wind and solar generation units' maximum production may or may not occur at peak consumption times resulting in non-optimal utilization of these resources. As a solution to this problem, energy storage systems (ESS) are embedded in networks. However, the power...
