This paper will analyze the total generation costs for a power network in two situations: when the distributed generators (DGs) are connected to the network and when the DGs are not connected to the network. The study will be performed by using a specialized software for the simulation and analysis of power systems, Neplan, for a test system. The test system comprises 6 generators (of which 3 d...

This research addresses distributed proportional power sharing of inverter-based Distributed Generators (DGs) in microgrids under variations maximum capacity DGs. A microgrid can include renewable energy resources such as wind turbines, solar panels, fuel cells, etc. The intermittent nature causes their capacities. Since DGs be regarded Multi-Agent-Systems (MASs), a consensus algorithm is desig...

Renewable Energy Sources (RES) using PV arrays are considered and extensively employed in today’s world. Islanding is an issue that happens when The RES connected to the grid unexpected circuit breakers trip. It necessary notice islanding condition two seconds according IEEE standards. This manuscript proposed effectual hybrid system for detection of Solar PhotoVoltaic (SPV) based distributed g...

Small scale power generating technologies, such as gas turbines, small hydro turbines, photovoltaics, wind turbines and fuel cells, are gradually replacing conventional generating technologies, for various applications, in the electric power system. The industry restructuring process in the United States is exposing the power sector to market forces, which is creating competitive structures for...

This study proposes a new islanding detection method for use of grid-interconnected distributed generators (DG). The method is based on two indices: the rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) and the rate of change of voltage (ROCOV). When a DG is grid-interconnected, the ROCOF and ROCOV are lower than the threshold value. In contrast, as an islanding occurs, the ROCOF or ROCOV become much higher ...
