Plug-and-play voltage and frequency control of islanded microgrids with meshed topology

In this paper we propose a new decentralized control scheme for Islanded microGrids (ImGs) composed by the interconnection of Distributed Generation Units (DGUs). Local controllers regulate voltage and frequency at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) of eac ...

A Buffer-Sizing Algorithm for Network-on-Chips with Multiple Voltage-Frequency Islands

Giovanni De Micheli, Luca Benini, Srinivasan Murali, Akash Kumar

Buffers in on-chip networks constitute a significant proportion of the power consumption and area of the interconnect, and hence reducing them is an important problem. Application-specific designs have nonuniform network utilization, thereby requiring a bu ...

Nondetection Zone Assessment of an Active Islanding Detection Method and its Experimental Evaluation

Behrooz Bahrani

This paper analytically determines the nondetection zone (NDZ) of an active islanding detection method, and proposes a solution to obviate the NDZ. The method actively injects a negative-sequence current through the interface voltage-sourced converter (VSC ...

Turbine Speed Governor Parameters Validation in Islanded Production

François Avellan, Jean-Jacques Simond, Christophe Nicolet, Philippe Allenbach, Basile Kawkabani, Bob Greiveldinger

The transient behavior of hydroelectric power plants is of high interest for ensuring stability of islanded electrical power networks. Therefore, it is suitable to determine and validate the set of parameters of a turbine speed governor using a realistic s ...

On the Hydroelectric Stability of an Islanded Power Network

François Avellan, Jean-Jacques Simond, Christophe Nicolet, Philippe Allenbach, Bob Greiveldinger

Islanded power networks comprising a small number of large power plants are subject to perturbations leading to important transients, and, hence need high performance governors. The design of these governors requires a detailed model of the system. This is ...
