A microgrid is considered to be a smart power system that can integrate local renewable energy effectively. However, the intermittent nature of causes operating pressure and additional expense in maintaining stable operation by management microgrid. The structure multi-microgrids provides possibility construct flexible various trading framework. In this paper, order reduce adverse effects uncer...

Abstract The downlink bit error rate (BER) performances of DSand MC-CDMA in a frequency-selective fading channel can be significantly improved by the use of frequency-domain equalization (FDE) based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion. However, the uplink BER performance degrades due to strong multi-user interference (MUI) since different users’ signals go through different channels a...

This paper presents a microgrid planning model for determining the optimal size and the generation mix of distributed energy resources (DERs) as well as the microgrid type, i.e., AC or DC. Considering the growing ratio of DC loads and DERs, DC microgrids could be potentially more beneficial than AC microgrids by avoiding the need to synchronize generators, reducing the use of converters, facili...

A MicroGrid without a central fast-acting controller or a central energy storage unit was considered in order to establish the problems of a MicroGrid using traditional technology and to identify the additional benefits which could be derived by installing supplementary hardware (i.e. energy storage and central control). In view of the fast expanding electric drive vehicle market, fuel cell car...

The paper outlines the design considerations for electrical microgrid Power Management Model (PMM). Design considerations for decentralized power management control for a microgrid that operates in an isolated mode disconnected from the main power grid is the main focus. An example based in part on a hypothetical scenario of the transformation process of the No Name Key Island, an island in the...

Microgrids are energy systems that aggregate distributed energy resources, loads and power electronics devices in a stable and balanced way. They rely on energy management systems to schedule optimally the distributed energy resources. Conventionally, many scheduling problems have been solved by using complex algorithms that, even so, do not consider the operation of the distributed energy reso...

Microgrid is a new power system concept consisting of small-scale distributed energy resources; storage devices and loads. It is necessary to employ a simplified model of microgrid in the simulation of a distribution network integrating large-scale microgrids. Based on the detailed model of the components, an equivalent model of microgrid is proposed in this paper. The equivalent model comprise...

This paper focuses on the evaluation of theoretical and numerical aspects related to an original DC microgrid power architecture for efficient charging of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). The proposed DC microgrid is based on photovoltaic array (PVA) generation, electrochemical storage, and grid connection; it is assumed that PEVs have a direct access to their DC charger input. As opposed to c...
