The operation of wind energy conversion systems mainly deals with variable and unpredictable wind regimes resulting in variable power efficiency. In addition, nowadays with the presence of high penetration level of wind farms integrated to power systems, stability and power quality problems might be addressed, when a disturbance event occurs. These challenges are worsened with significant degre...

Hybrid AC/DC microgrids facilitate the procedure of DC power connection into the conventional AC power system by developing the distributed generations (DGs) technologies. The conversion processes between AC and DC electrical powers are more convenient by hybrid systems. In this paper, an energy management system (EMS) for a hybrid microgrid network is proposed due to the optimal utilization of...

This paper presents a novel indirect adaptive Power System Stabilizer (PSS) via a developed synergetic control methodology and fuzzy systems. Fuzzy system is utilized in an adaptive scheme to estimate the system using a nonlinear model. The synergetic control guarantees robustness of the controller and makes the controller easy to implement because of using a chatter free continuous control law...

this paper proposes a flexible power electronic transformer (fpet) for the application in the micro-grids. the low frequency transformer is usually used at the point of common coupling (pcc) to connect the low voltage grid and utility network to each other. the conventional 50hz transformer results in enhanced low voltage-grid power management system during grid-connected operation. in this pap...

This paper proposes a new method for direct control of active power and stator flux of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) used in the wind power generation system. Active power and stator flux are controlled by the proposed discrete time algorithm. Despite the commonly used vector control methods, there is no need for inner current control loops. To decrease the errors between refere...
