This paper presents a grid-tied microgrid testbed for development and verification of automated energy storage management systems. Different assets in the microgrid including renewable generation, programmable load and a battery unit are introduced. Structure of the communication network to monitor and control the assets is also described in details. Based on the microgrid configuration, a cent...

This work discusses the development of a multi-physics simulated model, in frame decarbonization and energy efficiency objectives European Commission. Its central feature is interconnection, through microgrid, distributed PV installation several electric dispatchable loads, thus powering Collective Self-Consumption network. The simulator presented within this document aims to serve as technolog...

Microgrids are described as linking many power sources (renewable energy and traditional sources) to meet the load consumption in real-time. Because renewable intermittent, battery storage systems required, typically used a backup system. Indeed, an management strategy (EMS) is required govern flows across entire Microgrid. In recent research, various methods have been proposed for controlling ...

The growing importance of Microgrid in future power systems highlights critical challenges like microgrid control and stability. An islanded including distributed generations (DG), energy storage (ESS), different types loads (static or dynamic) is prone to instability. whole system must be analyzed designed operate within stable regions. This study models an inverter-interfaced which supplies s...

Recent research has demonstrated the vulnerabilities of cyber physical microgrid to different rates of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, which send internal requests to degrade the victim’s performance. However, the interaction between the attacks and the security of microgrid remains largely unknown. In this paper, we address two fundamental questions: (1) What is the impact of intermittent DoS...

This paper presents a model for calculating the optimal size of an energy storage system (ESS) in a microgrid considering reliability criterion. A larger ESS requires higher investment costs while reduces the microgrid operating cost. The optimal ESS sizing problem is proposed which minimizes the investment cost of the ESS, as well as expected microgrid operating cost. Utilizing the ESS, genera...

An optimal scheduling model for a microgrid participating in the electricity distribution market in interaction with a Distribution Market Operator (DMO) is proposed in this paper. The DMO administers the established electricity market in the distribution level, sets electricity prices, determines the amount of the power exchange among market participants, and interacts with the Independent Sys...

Using distributed generations (DGs) with optimal scheduling and optimal distribution feeder reconfiguration (DFR) are two aspects that can improve efficiency as well as technical and economic features of microgrids (MGs). This work presents a stochastic copula scenario-based framework to jointly carry out optimal scheduling of DGs and DFR. This framework takes into account non-dispatchable and ...

Microgrids with distributed energy generators, controllable appliances, electric vehicle charging infrastructures, and energy storage systems introduce new technical challenges in the management of distribution networks. This paper introduces a new framework for power flow control based on the emerging consensus control for networked systems. Due to unique features of power systems, the consens...

This work addresses the problem of optimal real-time control a DC microgrid without relying on its corresponding network model. The main goal such controller is to keep nodal voltages within regulatory limits while offering current sharing capability between different controllable generators powering microgrid. proposed model-less methodology based feedback optimization, which takes advantage a...
