It is now recognized that many large wind farms will employ doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) variable speed turbines. A number of such are already in operation and more planned or under construction. With the rising penetration power into electricity networks, increasingly comprehensive studies required to identify interaction between farm(s) system. These require accurate models turbines their associated control protection circuits. dynamic model has been derived, which can be used...
Energy supply systems are usually considered as individual sub-systems with separate energy vectors. However, the use of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units, heat pumps electric boilers creates linkages between electricity networks. Two combined analysis methods were developed to investigate performance networks an integrated whole. These two decomposed electrical-hydraulic-thermal calculation techniques in forms power flow simple optimal dispatch. Both based on models electrical network,...
Synchronous and fixed-speed induction generators release the kinetic energy of their rotating mass when power system frequency is reduced. In case doubly fed generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines, control operates to apply a restraining torque rotor according predetermined curve with respect speed. This not based on there negligible contribution inertia system. A DFIG was modified introduce response turbine.

The possibility de-loading provide primary secondary response discussed. droop controller examined where operating electronic torque set point below its maximum speed pitch...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy sharing allows the surplus from distributed resources (DERs) to trade between prosumers in a community Microgrid. P2P is being becoming more attractive than conventional peer-to-grid (P2G) trading. However, intensive sensing and communication infrastructures are required either for information flows local market or building central control system. Moreover, existing pricing mechanisms could not ensure all participants gain economic benefits. This work proposed...
This paper describes a model of photovoltaic (PV) generation suitable for studying its interactions with the power system. Experimental results suggest that maximum point tracking part control system PV generator dominates dynamic behavior These experimental are used to develop and validate proposed model.

A simple but realistic test...
A Spatial–Temporal model (STM) was developed to evaluate the impact of large scale deployment plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) on urban distribution networks.

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading describes flexible trades between peers, where the excess from many small-scale Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) is traded among local customers. The feasibility of applying P2P to reduce costs for consumers, and increase income DER producers in a community microgrid was investigated. Three representative market paradigms were proposed, i.e. bill sharing, mid-market rate an auction based pricing strategy. Each them specified detailed business models,...
