This paper concentrates on the control of hybrid fuel cell/energy storage distributed generation systems under voltage sag in distribution systems. The proposed control strategy makes hybrid distributed generation system works properly when a voltage disturbance occurs in distribution system and it stays connected to the main grid. To distribute the power between dc power sources and stabilize ...

the renewable energy sources and plug-in electric vehicles (pevs) are becoming very popular because of the combination of high fuel costs and concerns about emission issues. this paper presents modelling and control of a building integrated fuel cell and plug-in electric vehicles (bifc-pev) in smart distribution systems. in bifc-pev system, conventional building elements could be replaced by sp...

With the inclusion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) components into the low-voltage (LV) distribution grid, some measurement data from smart meters are available for the control of the distribution networks with high penetration of photovoltaic (PV). This paper undertakes a central voltage-control strategy for smart LV distribution networks, by using a novel optimal power flow ...

The droop control strategy is the most common approach for microgrids control but its application is limited due to frequency deviation following a load change. Complementary control strategy has then been proposed to solve the problem using a communication network. However, under this strategy, regular loads profile produces a continuous change of output power of all distributed generators (DG...

This paper demonstrates an enhancement of power quality in grid integrated systems with the help of the proposed control strategy for voltage source converter based active power filters. The Shunt Active Power filters (SAPF) are extensively utilized in modern grid integrated systems to diminish the power quality concerns associated with it. The SAPF is one of the various power filters, which ha...

Load balancing is an important issue in distributed systems. In addition, using distributed generation sources such as photovoltaic is increasing. Power electronic converters are main interfaces between the sources and the grid. In this paper, a method has been proposed to reduce the load imbalancing in distribution networks using PV Grid Interface Converter. Two DC/DC and DC/AC converters have...
