A Comparative Analytical Study on Low-Voltage Ride-Through Reference-Current-Generation (LVRT-RCG) Strategies in Converter-Interfaced DER Units
DownloadSpring 2015
Mohammadalizadeh Shabestary, Masoud
Recently, riding through grid faults and supporting the grid voltage under faults have become major requirements in distributed energy resource (DER) units. There have been also extensive efforts in academia and industry to develop and implement control strategies to ride through voltage...

Advanced Control Techniques for Grid-Interactive Smart Inverters under Asymmetrical Conditions
DownloadSpring 2019
Masoud Mohammadalizadeh Shabestary
Grid-interactive smart inverters (GSIs) are becoming the main interface for integrating modern power units, such as renewable energies, energy storage systems, electric vehicles, distributed generation (DG) units, microgrids, and high-voltage direct-current transmission systems into smart power...

Energy Management Strategy for Supercapacitor in Droop-controlled DC Microgrid Using Virtual Impedance
DownloadFall 2015
With a proper energy management strategy (EMS), supercapacitor (SC) can be integrated into droop-controlled DC microgrid as an independent supercapacitor energy storage system (SCESS). The resulting microgrid could supply repeatedly quick bursts of electrical power due to load or source...

Spring 2014
Distributed Generation (DG) units are relatively small generation plants directly connected to the distribution networks as alternatives for bulky power plants and to integrate renewable energy sources into the power system. Despite their several advantages, DGs have a serious impact on the...

Spring 2018
The increasing utilization of power electronic loads in todayâs homes is a growing concern for utility companies due to the increased harmonic distortions. The harmonic problem is further complicated by the harmonic resonance introduced by other system components, such as the power factor...

Fall 2014
With the increasing application of renewable energy systems, many Distributed Generation (DG) systems have been connected to power systems. Power electronic converters are usually used as effective interfaces of DG unit. These interfaces convert either DC or non-grid AC voltages of DGs to the...
