Increasing connection rates of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems to electricity distribution networks has become a major concern for the distribution network service providers (DNSPs) due to the inability of existing network infrastructure to accommodate high levels of PV penetration while maintaining voltage regulation and other operational requirements. The solution to this dilemma is to undertake a hosting capacity (HC) study to identify the maximum penetration limit of rooftop PV generation ...

Solar PV intermittencies due to passing clouds with high ramp rates occurring for a short time produce a significant challenge to grid voltage and frequency regulations of a PV-rich microgrid. To compensate for these high ramp rates, battery and/or supercapacitors (SCs) are commonly employed using the control strategy based on a moving average (MA) or low pass filter (LPF). However, the traditional MA and LPF schemes suffer from memory and time lag effects, resulting in the need for increased st...

This paper introduces the hybridization of multiple linear permanent magnet generator (LPMG)-based wave energy conversion systems with a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy conversion system. A detailed investigation of the impact of the integration of the wind-wave hybrid system with the distribution network is presented in this study. The control scheme for the multiple LPMGs ensures the optimum extraction of the wave power and the ability to maintain voltage balance at the...

This paper proposes an event-triggered sliding mode control (SMC)-based fault ride through (FRT) strategy for doubly-fed-induction-generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines. An event-triggered SMC (ETSMC) approach is designed for a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) with a high frequency isolated dc-dc converter. The aim is to regulate the stator terminal voltage by injecting appropriate voltage to regulate it near the reference point. Since the control signal in the event-triggered SMC is only updated w...

The voltage regulation in distribution networks is one of the major obstacles when increasing the penetration of distributed generators (DGs) such as solar photovoltaics (PV), specially during cloud transients, causing potential stress on network voltage regulations. Residential demand response (DR) is one of the cost-effective solutions for voltage management in distribution networks. However, the main barriers of DR implementation are the complexities of controlling a large number and differen...
