However, traditional virtual impedance methods struggle to flexibly coordinate different control objectives under various fault conditions, thereby failing to fully realize their control potential. To address this, this paper proposes a decoupled virtual impedance control strategy. Virtual resistance and inductance are independently designed to suppress zero-sequence and negative-sequence overcurrents, achieving effective overcurrent mitigation. Furthermore, explicit model predictive control (E-MPC) is employed to dynamically adjust the virtual impedance values, enhancing the LVRT capability of DFIGs. Additionally, the E-MPC cost function incorporates reactive power support to coordinate current suppression and voltage support. Since the control law of E-MPC is designed offline, the online computation time can be greatly reduced. The proposed strategy is verified by 1.5 MW DFIG model in Matlab/Simulink and experiment.

Unfortunately, communication infrastructure failures in rural networks has increased the operational blind spots. In the event of a failure, information sharing may be delayed. To address this problem in a multi-feeder MG, a resilient control approach utilizing RNN-based control has been proposed to manage load sharing and voltage regulation during communication delays. A recurrent neural network (RNN) is utilized to optimize the control scheme for the operating direction for each distributed generating point. Traditional control may become unstable during information breaks, but the proposed RNN method improves connectivity during such occurrences. Through this analysis, the research showcased the efficacy of the proposed RNN technique in precisely distributing the load and regulating voltage, particularly during information breaks. The study also confirmed that the RNN strategy is more efficient than conventional control methods.

The proposed topology has two stages. In the first stage, the LLC resonant converter generates a rectified sine wave output synchronized with the grid voltage. However, achieving zero gain under this operating condition is a challenge for the LLC resonant converter. To address this, a combination of phase-shift modulation and pulse-frequency modulation is employed without relying on a topology-morphing strategy. This approach enables both zero gain and a wide gain range for the LLC resonant converter. However, integrating two different modulation strategies introduces another challenge. Multiple combinations of phase-shift angles and switching frequency values can yield the same gain. Effectively managing this is crucial to ensure both accurate gain control and optimal system efficiency. Therefore, in the proposed system, a PI controller generates the phase-shift angle value based on the current error. Then, the PSO algorithm dynamically finds the optimal switching frequency value for any instant to maximize efficiency according to the predetermined cost function. This novel efficiency-oriented approach effectively enhances the performance of LLC resonant converters. In the second stage, an unfolder inverter operating at the grid frequency generates a sine wave from the LLC output to achieve grid connection. Since the unfolder operates at the grid frequency, its switching losses are negligible. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system successfully tracks reference signals, even under abrupt changes, while maintaining high efficiency under various operating conditions. Additionally, the output current THD remains within internationally specified limits, ensuring compliance with relevant standards.</p>","PeriodicalId":55000,"journal":{"name":"IET Renewable Power Generation","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/rpg2.70050","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875654","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}

The empirical analysis was done through a Genetic Algorithm model in Python taken on a typical microgrid system that supplied power to 100 homes at an average of 47 kW. The simulation results show an enormous reduction of waste power in the order of 93%, but at a costlier overall in the microgrid, up by approximately 25%. These results act as strong proof that this integrated approach is technically feasible and economically feasible for the pursuit of efficiency and savings. This study goes further to consider the economic implications of the implementation and maintenance of EMS. It also considers cybersecurity as one of the critical challenges in interconnected microgrids that might influence operational integrity. The research further contributes significantly to knowledge on battery consumption loss and the factors that have to be addressed to avoid negative impacts on the overall system.

To address this challenge, this paper proposes a method for quantifying the marginal value of multi-service information flows to objectively assess the relative importance of each service information flow, with the aim of maximizing the load recovery effect in the event of a disaster. Initially, a coupled cyber-physical collaborative restoration model for the port is developed based on the multi-commodity flow framework. Subsequently, the marginal value of each information flow is quantified by the Shapley value approach, with which the coupled model is decoupled and solved by a two-stage restoration strategy.
