Microgrid (MG) is a small-scale, self-sufficient power system that accommodates various distributed energy resources (DERs), controllable loads, and future distribution systems. Networked microgrids (NMGs) are clusters of MGs, which physically interconnected functionally coordinated to enhance systems in terms economics, resilience, reliability. This paper introduces the architecture control NM...

When several microgrids (MG) are interconnected into microgrid clusters (MGC), they have great potential to improve their reliability. Traditional droop control tends to make the total operating costs higher as the power is distributed by capacity ratios of distributed energy resources (DERs). This paper proposes an adaptive distributed economic control for islanded microgrids which considers l...

Abstract Distribution networks are evolving to become more responsive with increasing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and digital transformation at the grid edges. This evolution imposes many challenges operation network, which then calls for new control paradigms. Among others, a so-called grid-edge is emerging harmonise coexistence system DER’s autonomous control. paper pro...

The Clean Energy Package expects a fundamental contribute for the decarbonisation of European energy system from Distributed Resources (DERs), pushing Member States to favour diffusion production plants individual and collective self-consumption. At same time, DERs are required security mainly providing dispatching resources. model developed includes possibility provide real-time balancing flex...

This paper evaluates the performance of coordinated control across advanced distribution management systems (ADMS), distributed energy resources (DERs), and resource (DERMS) using an hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform. platform provides a realistic laboratory testing environment, including accurate dynamic modeling real-world system from utility partner, real controllers (ADMS DERMS), physical...

Due to the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) required for sustainable distribution system, new voltage control strategy is needed by utilities. Traditional can not support number DERs in a coordinated and scalable manner meet operational regulation requirement. Supported power electronics converter, storage system provide fast, smooth, flexible services. In this pape...

Renewable and non-conventional distributed energy resources (DERs), such as, wind, solar PV, micro-turbines, fuel cells, diesel generators etc. are gradually becoming more popular as energy efficient and low-emission energy sources. Demand-side management, along with the integration of distributed energy generation and storage, are considered increasingly essential elements for implementing the...

The Smart Grid incorporates advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) in power systems, and is characterized by high penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs). Whether it is the nation-wide power grid or a single residential building, the energy management involves different types of resources that often depend on and influence each other. The concept of virtual power ...
