A four-switch, B4, converter topology is adopted as an SAPF, hence offering a simple, robust, and low-cost solution. In addition, to further reduce overall cost, only two interfacing filter inductors, instead of three, are used to eliminate switching current ripple. The proposed SAPF model MPCC is detailed for implementation, where simulation and experimental results validate effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm showing a 20% improvement in total harmonic distortion compared with a conventional hysteresis band current controller.","PeriodicalId":10729,"journal":{"name":"CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems","volume":"10 4","pages":"1589-1598"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10246184","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141965776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies have proposed a constant PQ regulation approach at the PCC of ADNs using coordination of non-MPPT based DGs. However, due to the intermittent nature of DGs coupled with PCC through uni-directional broadcast communication, the PCC becomes vulnerable to transient issues. To address this challenge, this study first presents a detailed mathematical model of an ADN from the perspective of PCC regulation to realize rigidness of PCC against transients. Second, an <tex>$H_{infty}$</tex> controller is formulated and employed to achieve optimal performance against disturbances, consequently, ensuring the least oscillations during transients at PCC.

The fundamental issue, particularly for micro-grid and small-scale green DC or AC energy applications, is that the voltage supplied by the MPPT boost converter is insufficient. In order to increase resulting MPP voltage, this research proposes a new high-voltage gain DC-DC boost converter for a cascade connection with an MPPT boost converter. Input side of the proposed converter employs a switched-inductor cell to reduce input current source ripples which is a critical problem in PV systems for high-reliability applications. Additionally, a switched-capacitor cell is used at the converter's output side to boost voltage gain and reduce voltage stress across converter's power switches, which is a crucial factor for longer life of PV panel and proposed converter components, particularly semiconductor devices. Performance of the converter is assessed while taking into account variations in irradiation and temperature brought on by changing weather conditions. A prototype converter at a laboratory scale is utilized and examined. Outcomes of hardware tests support the findings of theoretical and simulation studies.","PeriodicalId":10729,"journal":{"name":"CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems","volume":"10 6","pages":"2398-2410"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10246177","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper evolves SOD-PSIIRK into their partial counterparts, i.e., PSOD-PSIIRK, with greatly enhanced efficiency and reliability in analyzing large-scale time delayed power systems. Compared with SOD-PSIIRK, PSOD-PSIIRK are characterized in constructing low order discretization matrices of solution operator as well as efficiently and directly solving the embedded Matrix-Inverse-Vector Products (MIVPs). The dimensions of the discretization matrices of solution operator are largely reduced as only the retarded state variables are discretized, rather than all state variables as in SOD-PSIIRK. Meanwhile, the proposed PSOD-PSIIRK optimize the most computationally expensive operations in SOD-PSIIRK by avoiding the iterative solutions to the two embedded MIVPs. PSOD-PS/IRK directly and efficiently compute the MIVPs via factorizing the Kronecker product-like discretization matrices of the solution operator into Schur complements. The Central China-North China ultra-high-voltage power grid with 80577 state variables serves to validate the proposed PSOD-PSIIRK and shows that compared with SOD-PSIIRK, the computational time consumed by PSOD-PSIIRK is cut down by 49.96 times without loss of any accuracy.","PeriodicalId":10729,"journal":{"name":"CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems","volume":"11 2","pages":"671-682"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10246137","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143860890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Constraints of uncertain load growth's hypercone model and control mode switching of DC converter stations are considered in the BLOPF model. Moreover, uncertain RES output fluctuations are described as intervals, and two three-level optimal power flow (TLOPF) models are established to identify interval bounds of the system worst-case SVSM.

Moreover, various extreme weather events with low probability and high risk have seriously affected the stable operation of IPGSs. Due to close interconnectedness through coupling elements between the power system (PS) and natural gas system (NGS) when a disturbance happens in one system, a series of complicated sequences of dependent events may follow in another system. Especially under extreme conditions, this coupling can lead to a dramatic degradation of system performance, resulting in catastrophic failures. Therefore, there is an urgent need to model and evaluate resilience of IPGSs under extreme weather. Following this development trend, an integrated model for resilience evaluation of IPGS is proposed under extreme weather events focusing on windstorms. First, a framework of IPGS is proposed to describe states of the system at different stages under disaster conditions. Furthermore, an evaluation model considering cascading effects is used to quantify the impact of windstorms on NGS and PS. Meanwhile, a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) technique is utilized to characterize chaotic fault of components. Moreover, time-dependent nodal and system resilience indices for IPGS are proposed to display impacts of windstorms.

Interconnection of these microgrids in different nodes with various interconnection technologies increases fault occurrence and complicates protection operation.

The analysis shows parameters of the boost converter's power model that impact stability through the DC-link. Carefully selecting these parameters can mitigate this effect on stability and improve dynamic performance across the DC-link. Hence, an optimization framework is developed to facilitate in selecting adequate boost converter parameters in designing a stable voltage source converter-based microgrid (VSC-MG). The developed optimization framework, based on particle swarm optimization, considers dynamic coupling between both subsystems and is also effective in avoiding inadequate boost converter parameters capable of propagating instability through the DC-link to the VSC.
