Microgrids are increasingly being considered to provide electricity for the expanding energy demand in the grid distribution network and grid isolated areas. However, the technical challenges associated with the operation and controls are immense. Management of dynamic power balances, power flow, and network voltage profiles imposes unique challenges in the context of microgrids. Stability of t...

This study includes a multilevel cascaded inverter along with a control strategy. This proposed control scheme directs the inverter to support the grid under three phase balanced voltage sags and during one or two phase faults. Control of voltage between grid and Distributed Generation (DG) system is a challenging subject. Integrating DG with the grid is the fundamental element of this study wh...

Recent developments in power electronics technology have spurred interest in the use of renewable energy sources as distributed generation (DG) generators. The key component in DG generators is a grid-connected inverter that serves as an effective interface between the renewable energy source and the utility grid. The multifunctional inverter (MFI) is special type of grid-connected inverter tha...

with increasing the presence of microgrids (mgs) in the power systems, investigating the mg stability during transient faults is necessary. this study investigates the transient stability analysis of a mg supplied by multiple inverter interfaced distributed generations (iidgs) during fault. the transient stability of a mg is highly depends on the iidgs control strategy. a mg, simulated on matla...

This paper presents dynamic models of distributed generators (DG) and investigates dynamic behaviour of the DG units within a microgrid system. The DG units include micro turbine, fuel cell and the electronically interfaced sources. The voltage source converter is adopted as the electronic interface which is equipped with its controller to maintain stability of the microgrid during small signal...

Microgrid as the main building block for future smart grids is prone to instability originated from converter-based distributed generations (DG). Herein, we first analyze small-signal stability of an inverter-interfaced microgrid. Afterwards, a novel adaptive network fuzzy inference system (ANFIS)-based optimization method introduced which aims at online tuning virtual inductances (VI) in islan...
