They can also cause problems with power balance, stability, system dynamics, reduced efficiency, and increased stress. This paper proposes an enhanced linear state observer (ELSO) with a PLL-less voltage-oriented control (PLL-less VOC) method for a three-phase PWM rectifier in the synchronous coordinate frame (dq coordinate), aiming to simultaneously improve the DC-link voltage dynamics, disturbance rejection ability, and the grid current control loop’s transient response. The ELSO is suggested instead of the load current sensor not only to estimate the disturbance but also to estimate the overall switching losses of the PWM rectifier, resulting in good DC-link voltage disturbance rejection and transient fluctuation suppression, high robustness against DC capacitance change, low size and cost, and high reliability. Furthermore, contrary to the traditional VOC method, where the PLL and Park transforms are important parts for controlling the rectifier in the dq coordinate, the PLL-less VOC method can control the grid currents directly in the dq coordinate without needing PLL and Park transforms, which can offer a fast transient response and low computational burden. The frequency domain analysis of the ELSO is used to identify its gains and enhance its stability and disturbance rejection capability. Finally, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation using the OPAL-RT 4510 real-time simulator is also given to confirm the superiority and efficacy of the suggested control method.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51293,"journal":{"name":"International Transactions on Electrical Energy Systems","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/etep/7191464","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By constructing a multiscale reactive power optimization model and considering the comprehensive cost minimization goal including network loss cost, regulation cost, and operation cost, the operation efficiency and reliability of distribution network are improved. In the simulation experiment, the AC-DC hybrid distribution network of a regional power supply company is taken as the experimental object by using MATLAB software, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by setting different operation scenarios. The results show that in Scenario 1, the voltage of the proposed method is between 1.02 and 1.04 U, and the voltage fluctuation range is small. The proposed method can keep the voltage variation within the rated control range, which shows a more stable trend than other methods, whether in the scene where wind farms or photovoltaic fields work alone or in the scene where they work together with energy storage equipment. In addition, when simulating a single-phase fault, compared with the case without this method, this method can locate the fault area more accurately and significantly improve the reliability of fault detection. The significance of this study is to provide an effective mathematical model and control strategy to deal with the complex dynamic behavior of AC-DC hybrid distribution network.

Therefore, it is urgent to set up a system of operational and economic indexes to evaluate the proportional planning of CSs and BSSs. The traditional weighting method of the index system cannot accurately describe the relationship between the indexes. As a result, an evaluation method of CS and BSS operational economy based on dynamic weighting indexes is proposed. Firstly, from the perspectives of EV owners, CSs, BSSs, power grid, traffic, and environment, a social and economic index system of CSs and BSSs is established, and quantifiable indexes related to the operational economy are extracted. Then, the copula entropy (CE) is used to improve the CRITIC objective weighting method, reflect the correlation between indexes, and align it with the objective law. The selected indexes are weighted by the subjective and objective combination weighting method. Finally, the simulation is conducted based on the practical data of the urban power grid in China.

Single- and two-phase loads and short circuit can make unbalanced voltage. Besides, nonlinear loads create harmonic components in the grid. Thus, compensating both of the unbalanced voltage and harmonic distortion is necessary. Otherwise, they could cause low power quality, resonance, and stability issues. The present paper suggests a combination of distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) and shunt active power filter (SAPF) to address the unbalanced voltage and harmonic pollution in hybrid grid-connected microgrid. A four-wire distributed static synchronous compensator has been adopted to deal with the negative- and zero-sequence components of the microgrid, extracting these components by using second-order generalized integrator (SOGI). To solve the harmonic issue, a SAPF is presented to dynamic compensation of grid current and voltage harmonic components in addition to DSTATCOM. The SAPF relies on estimating the fundamental frequency positive-sequence component (FFPSC) of the load current by applying the second-order sequence filter (SOSF). Since combining the reference signals of voltage balancer and harmonic eliminating at one controller is impossible, two independent devices are presented. Although both of the equipment have a same conception, their control and operation are different. So, simultaneous incorporation of distributed static synchronous compensator and SAPF for mitigating the unbalancing and distortion in the grid-connected microgrid based on hybrid solar and wind power is the work’s novelty. Some merits of this scheme include simple structure, fast real-time controller, low computational burden, and more effective operation. Robustness and effectiveness of such very simple scheme are evaluated by simulation in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Simulation report demonstrates that the total harmonic distortion (THD) of grid voltage and current decrease well under 1.44% and 2.33%, respectively.

This paper develops a protection scheme for preserving coordination between main and backup overcurrent relays considering various penetration levels and locations of integrated EVs. By modifying the EV charger control system, the proposed scheme limits the fault current contribution of adopted EV charge stations into the fault point.

Furthermore, it does not require communication links. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is validated through several case studies on the Isfahan distribution network. The findings indicate that the operating time of the backup relay in the conventional protection system exceeds the thermal limit at 100% penetration level of EVs installed upstream of this relay as it reaches 1810 ms, while by using the proposed strategy, this time reduces to 776 ms, preserving protection coordination between the main and backup relays.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51293,"journal":{"name":"International Transactions on Electrical Energy Systems","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/etep/5546037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142708338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
