The paper describes in details the design and control of one of the bi-directional DC-DC converter topologies. It is bi-directional Dual Active Bridge. A control strategy, using PI controllers, for the storage batteries is developed based on constant wind turbine speed. With normal wind power generation, the batteries are set in a charging mode. When wind power generation fluctuates due to large wind speed variation, the developed control strategy allows batteries to mitigate these power fluctuations and avoids severe voltage transients on congested power systems. An actual wind speed data are used to simulate the impact of wind penetration during a 24-hour period. The simulations are carried out for wind without and with power fluctuation.","PeriodicalId":134414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Grid and Clean Energy Technologies (ICSGCE)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129755807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a consequence of this there is an increasing attention for alternative renewable energy resources. In future, renewable energy sources will be integrated with energy storage and it will require a proper converter for integrating with the grid. In order to achieve this, various power electronics topologies have to be incorporated between the grid and the renewable source(s). This paper presents the simulation and experimental implementation of DC power source integration in micro-grid using single phase `Voltage Source Inverter' (VSI) with `Phase Locked Loop' (PLL) topology. Firstly the appropriateness of the PLL technique for the micro-grid synchronization is analyzed under the normal condition, harmonic condition and the non-harmonic (e.g. impulse) condition of a power system using Matlab Simulink®. Then the design and experimental implementation steps of the grid-tied VSI are discussed in details. In this work, a VSI with PLL technique is presented with simulation and experimental results for integrating with 230V/50Hz low voltage grid.","PeriodicalId":134414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Grid and Clean Energy Technologies (ICSGCE)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121672146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microgrids have the capability of satisfying their emergency loads during blackouts. However, distributed energy resources (DERs)-dominated microgrids are affected by the uncertainty of their input energy supply, e.g. impact of solar irradiance on photovoltaic (PV) output. Moreover, an individual islanded microgrid is prone to instability issues due to large sudden load/generation changes. In order to increase the supply security, and enhance system stability, we propose to use the existing distribution grid infrastructure, if applicable, during blackouts to form microgrid clusters. The paper discusses the required control hierarchy required to manage the microgrid clusters, and communicate with the Distribution Network Operator (DNO). A case study based on the 13-bus standard distribution feeder, and two microgrid models, is presented. Results show that microgrids clustering helps improve their performance and that the microgrid generator inertia has a direct impact on the stability of the microgrid cluster.","PeriodicalId":134414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Grid and Clean Energy Technologies (ICSGCE)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126400589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As AMI components are connected through mesh networks in a distributed mechanism, new vulnerabilities will be exploited by grid's attackers who intentionally interfere with network's communication system and steal customer data. As a result, identifying distributed security solutions to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of AMI devices' traffic is an essential requirement that needs to be taken into account. This paper proposes a real-time distributed intrusion detection system (DIDS) for the AMI infrastructure that utilizes stream data mining techniques and a multi-layer implementation approach. Using unsupervised online clustering techniques, the anomaly-based DIDS monitors the data flow in the AMI and distinguish if there are anomalous traffics. By comparing between online and offline clustering techniques, the experimental results showed that online clustering “Mini-Batch K-means” were successfully able to suit the architecture requirements by giving high detection rate and low false positive rates.","PeriodicalId":134414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Grid and Clean Energy Technologies (ICSGCE)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128079661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main advantage compared to other renewable energy sources is capability to provide base load to the electricity grid. This is possible since biogas production is quite predictable and can be influenced to some degree by feeding the biogas fermenters accordingly. Nevertheless, there are still some open issues for biogas usage. The fermentation process and hence the gas production is difficult to control since the lack of understanding of the fermentation process and the missing measurement equipment make it impossible to set up a closed control loop. Apart from that, biogas is used in block heat and power plants. This is only efficient if the heat is used, meaning there are different demand profiles for heat and electricity. The goal of the ongoing research is to make the biogas power plant and hence the fermentation process controllable with a fast reaction to changes and high flexibility on the input and the output side. This would lead to a smart biogas power plant with the capability to provide peak load to the grid. Furthermore, the smart biogas power plant allows optimization and efficiency gains. One core issue for this goal is the provision of online measurement tools directly in the fermenter (in situ or in process). We present recent research on the selection of measurement parameters, the usage of digestion process models in controller design and the development of online measurement equipment for biogas fermenters.","PeriodicalId":134414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Grid and Clean Energy Technologies (ICSGCE)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115414339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a novel method of modelling hourly domestic household's load demand taking account of the impact of microgrid. Wind and solar power generation are modeled in details and included in the load demand model. Meanwhile, multiple Gaussian distributions are used to reduce and simplify the data requirements for modelling. By discovering the relationship between domestic load profile characteristics and Gaussian distribution parameter, the model only requires very limited number of parameters to generate a household's hourly electricity load profile. The simplicity of this method made it possible to generate the hourly load profile without the detailed statistical data from the household required by other published methods. The models are therefore especially useful for the areas that smart meters are not yet deployed. Simulation results of an example domestic household show that the proposed method achieves a satisfying load modeling results.","PeriodicalId":134414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Grid and Clean Energy Technologies (ICSGCE)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132438262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
