A nonlinear control method of dynamic voltage restorers

TL;DR: In this article, a closed-loop nonlinear state variable control algorithm is proposed for series dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) with a power rating equal to only a fraction of the load.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Analysis and comparison of islanding detection methods using a new load parameter space

TL;DR: In this paper, a load parameter space for comparing the effectiveness of passive islanding detection methods where the influence of the load resistance can be easily assessed has been proposed, where the NDZs are derived and verified by simulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Space Vector Modulation for Low Switching Frequency Current Source Converters With Reduced Low-Order Noncharacteristic Harmonics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to calculate the statespsila on times as the reference vector rotates, which results in a significant reduction in the harmonic distortion of these two components, which can be limited to 0.3% of the fundamental component as the modulation index varies from 0.05 to 1.0.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonlinear control of a DC MicroGrid for the integration of distributed generation based on different time scales

TL;DR: An hierarchical control scheme, based on nonlinear control theory, in particular Lyapunov, backstepping and input/output feedback linearization, is proposed, comparable to standard nested PIs, and does not need important computer resources to be easily implemented in small micro-controllers.

Using Electric Water Heaters (EWHs) for Power Balancing and Frequency Control in PV-Diesel Hybrid Mini-Grids

TL;DR: In this article, an electric water heaters (EWH) is used to assist with power balancing and frequency regulation and to prevent the diesel genset from operating under-loaded, in a PV-diesel hybrid mini-grid.
