Microgrids rely on diverse renewable energy sources such as solar and effective power converters and are crucial for integrating these resources into the grid. The proposed converters incorporate series and parallel-configured integrated inverters, facilitating both boost and buck-boost operations simultaneously with an additional inductive branch to the standard quasi-Z-source network. The suggested system utilises a novel control approach to regulate multiple AC and DC output voltages efficiently. Key features include robust power control, single-stage energy conversion, built-in shoot-through protection and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The proposed series and parallel converter circuits offer versatile configurations for generating two DC and multiple AC outputs, enhancing flexibility in microgrid power distribution. A closed-loop control strategy is implemented for the series qZSC to validate its operational effectiveness. Detailed steady-state mathematical analyses for both qZSC configurations are supplemented by simulation results under varying load conditions, confirming their performance capabilities.

However, the protection of MTDC systems is a major challenge for their application in connection with offshore wind farms (OWF). This is due to the extremely high short circuit currents, present for very short timeframes, and characterised by the absence of zero-crossing currents. Additionally, economic and technological issues further challenge widespread implementation of MTDC systems. The main constraints of MTDC protection coordination systems are generally associated with fault detection, DC reactor (DCR), DC circuit breaker (DCCB) operation time, and converter blocking time. This paper presents strategies for achieving full-selectivity (F-S) and partial-selectivity (P-S) in the protection of voltage source converter (VSC)-MTDC systems. A case study is setup to design both the F-S and P-S protection schemes. Initially, suitable DCRs are calculated for the case study, followed by selecting DCCB operation times with offshore converter blocking for both cases. Finally, an inverse time-current curve is proposed for different scenarios, considering sensitivity to DCR ratings to enhance converter blocking performance. The case study is conducted in PSCAD/EMTDC software and the simulation results demonstrate the impact of the different scenarios on the MTDC systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":33288,"journal":{"name":"IET Energy Systems Integration","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/esi2.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143571377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This allows coal mines to act as energy prosumers. This paper presents an integrated optimisation model of optimal operation and offers strategies for profit-seeking of a coal-mine energy prosumer in a liberalised market. The discussed problem is formulated as a tri-stage bi-level programming model. In the upper level, the coal mine-integrated energy system (CMIES) operator decides the retail contract management, equipment operation plan, and retail electricity price offered to end-users through three stages to maximise its expected profits at a predefined risk level. In the lower level, the end-users react to the price bids offered by the CMIES operator under study and other market retailers to minimise their costs for energy procurement. Unlike previous approaches, the endogenous uncertainties associated with market subjects' strategic behaviours are explicitly considered. To solve the proposed problem efficiently, the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions and multicut benders decomposition method are employed. The simulation results show that the collaborative optimisation of the energy cycle and production scheduling can reduce daily operating costs by nearly $3576 and carbon emissions by 6.72 tons, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.</p>","PeriodicalId":33288,"journal":{"name":"IET Energy Systems Integration","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/esi2.12181","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143380941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper fully considers each detailed module in GCBPVS using virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technology and derives the small-signal model of the fully grid-connected (GC) system using the linearisation method of each sub-module. Then, it analyses the small disturbance stability and oscillation mode characteristics of GCBPVS by combining the effects of partial system parameters change on eigenvalues. Especially for the key parameters that affect the control stability of the system, this paper proposes a novel global optimisation design method of key control parameters to reform the distribution of system eigenvalues and improve the stability of GCBPVS. Finally, case simulation and result analysis show that the accuracy of the above small-signal model is very high and the related stabilisation control method is very effective.

A scaled-down single-viaduct model was employed to establish a controlled experimental environment for real-time monitoring of voltage differentials between the railway tracks and the grounding structure. This research developed a stray current monitoring system for a scaled-down single-viaduct model. The system comprises of a power supply, voltage and current measurement capabilities at the power supply, and two levels of stray current measurements at each point. Data such as ambient temperature and humidity, current and voltage at the power supply, and voltage differentials between the railway tracks and the grounding structure are recorded using an Arduino Mega2560 microcontroller. It is hypothesised that stray currents, quantified as voltage differentials between the tracks and the grounding structure, vary in response to changes in load and environmental conditions. Experiments were conducted under various scenarios: variable load, constant load with rain, and constant load across different seasons. The results indicated that with a variable load, the voltage between the tracks increased. During constant load with rain, the average voltage between the tracks rose due to decreased insulation between the tracks and the grounding structure. Lastly, under constant load across different seasons, the most significant voltage change was observed during the rainy season. The findings demonstrate a significant correlation between these variables, with a pronounced influence of environmental conditions, particularly precipitation, on voltage fluctuations. These results underscore the critical importance of effective stray current mitigation strategies for safeguarding the integrity of railway infrastructure and ensuring the safety of personnel.
