Harmonic Power-Flow Study of Polyphase Grids with Converter-Interfaced Distributed Energy Resources, Part II: Model Library and Validation

Mario Paolone, Johanna Kristin Maria Becker, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Andreas Martin Kettner

In Part I, a method for the Harmonic Power-Flow (HPF) study of three-phase power grids with Converter-Interfaced Distributed Energy Resources (CIDERs) is proposed. The method is based on generic and modular representations of the grid and the CIDERs, and e ...

Harmonic Power-Flow Study of Polyphase Grids with Converter-Interfaced Distributed Energy Resources, Part I: Modelling Framework and Algorithm

Mario Paolone, Johanna Kristin Maria Becker, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Andreas Martin Kettner

Power distribution systems are experiencing a largescale integration of Converter-Interfaced Distributed Energy Resources (CIDERs). This complicates the analysis and mitigation of harmonics, whose creation and propagation are facilitated by the interaction ...

Real-Time Control of an Electric Vehicle Charging Station While Tracking an Aggregated Power Setpoint

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Cong Wang, Roman Rudnik, Jagdish Prasad Achara

We consider the problem of controlling the charging of electric vehicles (EVs) connected to a single charging station that follows an aggregated power setpoint from a main controller of the local distribution grid. To cope with volatile resources such as l ...

Real-time control of an electric vehicle charging station while tracking an aggregated power-setpoint

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Cong Wang, Roman Rudnik, Jagdish Prasad Achara

An electric vehicle (EV) charging method which considers the EVs heterogeneity, taking into account the absence of any information about future arrivals and departures, and of the amount of time any charging will take. The method further considers both swi ...

A Comprehensive Assessment of the Short-Term Uncertainty of Grid-Connected PV Systems

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Enrica Scolari

One of the key aspects enabling the bulk integration of photovoltaic (PV) resources into the power grid is the short-term prediction of the maximum available power (from 100 ms to 5 minutes), and the quantification of the associated uncertainties. This is ...

T-RECS: A Virtual Commissioning Tool for Software-Based Control of Electric Grids – Design, Validation, and Operation

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Wajeb Saab, Roman Rudnik, Jagdish Prasad Achara, Maaz Mashood Mohiuddin

In real-time control of electric grids using multiple software agents, the control performance depends on (1) the proper functioning of the software agents, i.e., absence of software faults, and (2) the behavior of software agents in the presence of non-id ...

Robust Real-Time Control of Power Grids in the Presence of Communication Network Non-Idealities

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Wajeb Saab, Roman Rudnik

Deploying a power grid controller in the field makes it susceptible to message losses caused by the inherent uncertainties and non-idealities of communication networks, especially when the control action is taken at a sub-second time-scale. We consider a c ...

Dispatching Stochastic Heterogeneous Resources Accounting for Grid and Battery Losses

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Eleni Stai

We compute an optimal day-ahead dispatch plan for distribution networks with stochastic resources and batteries, while accounting for grid and battery losses. We formulate and solve a scenario-based AC Optimal Power Flow (OPF), which is by construction non ...

Slack Selection for Unintentional Islanding: Practical Validation in a Benchmark Microgrid

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Wajeb Saab, Andreas Martin Kettner, Roman Rudnik

Upon an intentional or emergency disconnection from the main grid, a microgrid is expected to continue working in islanded mode. Thus, (at least) one resource needs to act as slack and compensate for power variations to keep the power balance, and ensure t ...

Experimental Validation of an Explicit Power-Flow Primary Control in Microgrids

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Mario Paolone, Enrica Scolari, Andrey Bernstein, Andreas Martin Kettner, Niek Johannes Bouman, Benoit Jacques Louis Marie Cathiard

The existing approaches to control electrical grids combine frequency and voltage controls at different time-scales. When applied in microgrids with stochastic distributed-generation, grid quality of service problems may occur, such as under- or overvoltag ...
