There is no doubt that the wind was the renewable source of energy that had the most significant growth during the last five years, and more importantly, the wind power source in Brazil has always been the cheapest and most competitive of all the others, so it is worth saying that wind have never been…

This paper deals about an application of optimal power flows (OPF) constrained with synchronous generator capability curve for power market analysis (SGCC). OPF main features gather in its mathematical formulation non-convexity, non-linearity, and it shows to be a hard to solve optimization problem. In some operational scenarios, SGCC can limit power flows bringing the theoretical…

The quality of the electric power system must be maintained properly, one of which is voltage. Under certain operating conditions, the bus voltage may drop below its minimum level, called bad voltage. A large reactive load can cause a voltage drop across the bus or the location of the bus is far from the generator…

This paper presents novel Energy Management Strategies (EMSs), and the control of a Grid-Connected Hybrid Renewable Energy System (GCHRES). The GCHRES describes a Photovoltaic Generator (PVG) and a Battery-Based Storage System. Both are tied to the Common Coupling Point (CCP) through a reversible three-phase inverter. The CCP combines the Utility Grid (UG) and an AC…

In this work, the impact of implementing a large amount of decentralized renewable energy sources (RES) of different scales on an extra-large power grid is investigated. Three scenarios are created, substituting 10%, 20%, and 30% of the conventional energy production by RES. For this purpose, the initial dynamic model of Continental Europe in combination with…

Integration of Distributed Generation (DG) on distribution networks has a positive impact which includes the following: low power losses, improved utility system reliability and voltage improvement at buses. A real distribution network is radial in which energy flow is unidirectional from generation to transmission and from distribution to the load. However, when a DG is…

Nigerian power utility companies particularly the distribution and generation aspects were recently in the process of national power reform converted from public to private service by privatization. Prior to these development, power utility companies’ performance is low due to poor operational style that leads to inadequate revenue generation. Thus, the task before the privatized companies…

This research work is novel technique to control and optimize SSSC (Subsynchronous Series Controller) functions with degree of precision in between Qatar and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The SSSC model developed and simulated in order to identify and determine its control and functioning parameters by introducing new tuning parameters based on that the SSSC can…

This manuscript exhibits a perfect design for a flexible number of modified DC nanogrids within an open energy distribution network (OEDN) that interconnected via a DC bus. Each modified nanogrid implies a single-input multi-output switched boost inverter (SIMO-SBI). The DC-output for each inverter is robustly controlled to keep the DC-bus interconnected voltage constant. The proposed…

This research aims to investigate the energy and power management of a battery-supercapacitors Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) for Electric vehicles (EVs). A bidirectional DC-DC converter, a battery and a set of supercapacitors were employed to construct the parallel semi-active architecture of HESS. Two strategies of Rule-Base Linear Quadratic Regulators (R-B LQRs) were proposed to…

The undulated power supply has dropped to its worst reliability index in most parts of the city despite the installations of distribution transformers to improve the power. In this work, examination of Port Harcourt Town Zone 4 (Z4), Rivers State power distribution system forcing on its operation, planning for future expansion of the system, and…

Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is a mechanism that allows people to share locally the energy they have generated from distributed renewable resources (DER), to generate profit form the unused resources and to reduce the cost for electricity for the household and in the community itself. This calls for the design of new energy markets, accompanied…

The occurrence of many failures in the power system can lead to power instability and affects the system parameters to go beyond its operating limits. It may lead to obstructing the secure operations and reliability of power systems. Ensuring power system security needs proper actions to be taken for the undesirable contingency. Thus, security analysis…

This paper proposed the identification of the proper placement of UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) using a series of methodological numeric simulations to improve voltage stability. For this purpose, the critical zone of the system is determined, then, comparative analyses depending on different emplacements of UPFC are performed. The dynamic model of UPFC and the…

This paper describes the design and analysis of a regenerative braking system for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive for electric vehicle (EV) applications. First studied is the principle for electric braking control of a PMSM motor under field-oriented control (FOC). Next, the maximum braking torque in the regeneration mode as well as the…
