Load emulators usually use PI controllers to track the reference active and reactive power profiles. PI controller coefficients depend on operating point therefore it is not suitable especially for this application in which the operating point is constantly changing in a wide range. Also in microgrid laboratory researches, because of low inertia, the voltage and frequency variations are considerable which can effect on load emulator operation. In this paper, a fuzzy-based PI controller is presented for a chopper-based load emulator in AUT microgrid for both islanding and grid connected operation modes. Experimental results show the performance of the fuzzy system in comparison to conventional PI controller for load emulator in both operation modes.","PeriodicalId":346749,"journal":{"name":"2017 Smart Grid Conference (SGC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127744572","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}

Due to the increasing need for energy and limitation in fossil fuels, wind speed turbines vary widely, despite their high costs in power plants, so it is essential to achieve maximum efficiency and maintain their sustainability. For this purpose, a variable speed winding turbine system is modeled with a dual power generator modeled in this uncertain system, such as variations in wind speed and uncertainty in modeling and parameter values. In order to improve the behavior of system outputs in the unstructured presence of uncertainties, a controller is designed using a sliding mode of the terminal to reduce the system shifting by combining the adaptive modeling theory to deal with the indeterminate parameters and control signal smoothing. In this method, the combination of interest is designed adaptively, and is independent of the boundary of the indefinite and independent determinants. Finally, simulation of the results has been done using MATLAB software.

Moreover, there are several uncertainties and disturbances in the islanded microgrids that may lead to the instability. To solve this problem, this paper proposes the design of a multi-objective Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) based regulator. It considers the LMI conditions in such a way that the design criterion holds. It also considers the disturbances, including solar radiation, wind speed, and load demand variations. With extracting microgrid state space model, it builds a framework to synthesize the controller. Next, it presents the mixed robust design criteria to set up the multi-objective function. The controller design process includes two steps: state feedback and observer designs. With considering weighing functions in the design process, it determines the optimal solution of the objective function. The obtained solution is the state feedback matrix, and it forms the controller by combining the state feedback matrix with a state observer. We have applied the designed controller to the islanded microgrid, and the effect of disturbances is evaluated together with parametric uncertainties.

This paper addresses a smart load management approach based on State of Charge (SOC) index to determine battery capacity in the condition of the PV generation uncertainty at 24 hours a day in the island state. It should be noticed that in the current load management method in the similar conditions the customers dealt with a power outage because the distribution network and customer devices will be protected from voltage fluctuation. The customer dissatisfaction and power generation uncertainty are the significant disadvantages of it. For this reason, to find a solution regard to smart demand response, it is suggested that the residential critical loads, categorized in three groups in which based on the smart selective program the target cluster loads supplied. According to the mentioned approach, 62% and 54% of winter and summer critical loads with considering the battery capacity in the island system are supplied, respectively.
