In this context, throughout this paper PHIL simulations are performed to emulate the energy management system of a real microgrid including a diesel synchronous machine and inverter-based sources. Moreover, conventional frequency and voltage droops were incorporated into the respective inverters. The results were verified at the real microgrid installation in the Centre for Renewable Energy Sources (CRES) premises. This research work is divided into two steps: A) Real time in RSCAD/RTDS and Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) simulations where the diesel generator´s active power droop control is evaluated, the battery inverter´s droop curves are simulated and the load sharing for parallel operation of the system´s generation units is examined. B) microgrid experiments during which various tests were executed concerning the diesel generator and the battery inverters in order to examine their dynamic operation within the LV islanded power system.

  • Consensus-based distributed control for economic dispatch problem with comprehensive constraints in a smart grid

    Abstract:

In this work…Economic dispatch problem (EDP) has become more complex and challenging in power systems due to the introduction of
    smart grids. In a smart grid, it’s expensive and unreliable for the existing centralized controller to achieve a minimum cost
    when generating a certain amount of power. In this work, we define a quadratic cost function and comprehensive
    constraints to improve the consensus algorithm. We propose a distributed control approach based on the improved
    consensus algorithm to solve the EDP in a smart grid. Different from the centralized approach, the proposed approach
    enables each generator to collect the mismatch between power demands and generations in a distributed manner. The
    mismatch in power is used as a feedback for each generator to adjust its power generation. The incremental cost of the
    generator is selected as the consensus quantity that converges to a common value eventually. Simulation results of
    different case studies are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The comparisons between
    the proposed approach and the existing ones are also presented.

    double-fed induction generator (DFIG). For this, in nonlinear multivariable systems, such as mathematical model of DFIG,
    the method of observer’s synthesis for external, parametric and structural disturbances was used. This allows, on the basis
    of disturbances approximation, to carry out an evaluation under conditions of uncertainty, leading to disturbances
    adaptation with a priori unknown structure. The work presents a synthesis method of control system, allowing to solve
    indicated problem. Stand-alone wind turbine used as a power plant with DFIG. The control system uses the original
    nonlinear mathematical model of the DFIG in rotating “dq” coordinates, taking into account non-linear changes in the
    parameters. To confirm the effectiveness of the problem solution, mathematical computer model was developed. The paper
    also presents the results of full-scale simulation.

  • SysGRID: IEC 61850 and IEC 61499 Standard Based Engineering Tool for Smart Grid Automation Design

    which is made up of a heterogeneous network of controllers communicating in a peer-to-peer manner.
    The paper proposes a novel computer-aided model-based system engineering process for the design of a Smart Grid applications from the initial design specification through to the validation of the control
    system and hardware deployment. The process is supported by the SysGRID tool, which plays the
    roles of a system configurator and device configurator adopted from the International Standard IEC
    61850. SysGRID supports system-level design of automation logic in the form of function block
    networks compliant with the international standard IEC 61499. The capabilities of SysGRID are
    demonstrated through the process of designing a distributed protection application based on IEC
    61850 and the resultant validation process in a close-loop co-simulation.

With ICT pervading everyday objects and infrastructures, the ‘Future Internet’ is envisioned to leap towards a radical transformation from how we know it today (a mere communication highway) into a vast hybrid network seamlessly integrating knowledge, people and machines as techno-social ecosystems whose behaviour transcends the boundaries of today’s engineering science. From self-reconfiguring manufacturing plants and self-stabilizing energy grids to self-deploying emergency taskforces – such ecosystems relying on a myriad of mobile devices, software agents and human users will be spontaneously deployed through eNetworks on the sole basis of local rules and peer-to-peer communication. This trend is driving a much needed radical transformation of the energy sector metamorphosed into a pervasively adaptive ecosystem of hybrid energy providers in which local microgrids of prosumers (producers and consumers) will interact with large power providers in a coopetition-driven manner. Several technologies are currently racing to production to meet this dream, from ‘smart dust’ to hybrid networks capable to control the emergence of dependable and reliable green and energy-efficient ecosystems – which we generically term the ‘energy web’ – calling for major paradigm shifts highly disruptive of the ways the energy sector functions today. The EAI Endorsed Transactions on the Energy Web are positioned at the forefront of these efforts as a forum for the most forward looking frontier research undertaken by the international scientific community. We will publish original works reporting on prominent advances that challenge traditional thinking to find solutions to the ongoing energy problems spanning from blackouts to green and alternative energy.
