This paper presents a control strategy for fuel cell/energy storage power generation system during voltage sag conditions. The hybrid DC power sources are connected to grid using power electronic converters include DC-DC converter and grid connected voltage source inverter. The power from hybrid power sources is controlled during voltage sag by designing of control strategy for DC-DC converter....

The present scenario is towards shifting centralised power generation (central grid) to distributed generation (micro grid) with smaller sources of capacity. The isolated micro grid is connected to main grid with inverters at the front end for efficient exchange of power sharing; power exchange among distributed generation (DG) sources in an isolated micro grid is possible with droop characteri...

DC micro-grid is a novel ideal of advanced electricity delivery infrastructure which actively integrates a variety of renewable sources, energy storages, and loads within a local network; this type of lumped system organization can offer a fast, high quality and survivable solution for future residential and industrial power network. DC micro-grids can be the building block of future smart-grid...

A low carbon, high efficiency and high quality power supply scheme for Distributed Generation (DG) in a micro-grid is presented. A three-phase, four-leg DG grid-interfacing converter based on the improved structure of a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC, including a series converter and a parallel converter) is adopted, and improved indirect and direct control strategies are proposed. It ...

This paper presents an extension of the ACDC algorithm introduced by Yeredor for the instantaneous mixing problem to the more general convolutive mixing problem with non-white sources. Further assumptions made on the source signals are their mutual statistical independence, nonstationarity and smoothness of their power spectra. The algorithm iterates the estimation of the mixing system (AC step...

In this paper an optimal planning method is proposed for sizing a cogeneration plant to be installed within a public/commercial micro-grid. The optimization tool is based on a mixed integer linear programming model which uses a set of experimental input data in terms of both thermal and electric power consumption for determining the annual operational strategy, able to reach a twofold objective...
