Currently, the different pollutant emissions caused by the use of fossil energies are an increasingly important concern and numerous studies aim at developing technological solutions allowing the progressive replacement of the fossil energies by more susta ...
The dynamics of power system blackouts and the associated Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) behavior is a subject that receives continuous attention in view of its inherent complexity and relevant consequences. Within this context, the paper focuses on the ...
The latest distribution management systems tend to incorporate optimization functions for the short-term scheduling of the various energy and control resources available in the network (e.g., embedded generators, reactive power compensators and transformer ...
The paper presents the general scheme and the relevant implementation of a Maximum Efficiency Point Tracking (MEPT) system for a Small Hydro Power (SHP) plant equipped with a variable-speed generator. This last consists of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator ...
This paper introduces a special mx3 matrix converter connected between the stator of a poly-phased synchronous generator and a power grid. Some commutations of the chosen switching scheme induce voltage surges due to leakage inductances of the generator. T ...

This paper presents a decentralized control strategy for the autonomous (islanded) operation of parallel connection of two distributed generation (DG) units. The DG units are electronically interfaced to the host grid at the same point of common coupling ( ...
This paper presents a microelectronic emulation approach for high-speed power system computation. First, the problems of existing power system simulators are detailed. This shows that microelectronic emulation is a possible solution for solving the speed p ...
The paper focuses on the solution of the minimum loss reconfiguration problem of distribution networks, including embedded generation, by means of a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model. The proposed model takes into account typical operating cons ...
In this paper, the impact of the wire grid size on the power-delay-area trade off of VLSI digital circuits with differential routing is analyzed. To this aim, the differential MOS current-mode logic (MCML) is adopted as reference logic style, and a complet ...
The growing development of renewable energies combined with the process of privatization, lead to a change of economical energy market strategies. nstantaneous pricings of electricity as a function of demand or predictions, induces profitable peak producti ...
