Yes / This paper presents a robust framework for active and reactive power management in distribution networks using electric vehicles (EVs). The method simultaneously minimizes the energy cost and the voltage deviation subject to network and EVs constraints. The uncertainties related to active and reactive loads, required energy to charge EV batteries, charge rate of batteries and charger capacity of EVs are modeled using deterministic uncertainty sets. Firstly, based on duality theory, the max min form of the model is converted to a max form. Secondly, Benders decomposition is employed to solve the problem. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated with a 33-bus distribution network.

Para isto foram utilizados quatro controladores PI: dois deles têm a função de gerar as referências dessas correntes a partir dos erros da potência reativa e da velocidade, e os outros dois, a de gerar as referências das tensões de eixo direto e em quadratura, a partir dos erros dessas mesmas correntes. Resultados experimentais do motor operando com fator de potência adiantado, unitário e atrasado são apresentados para validar a proposta. O sistema de controle, implementado por um DSP TMS320F2812, é responsável pela leitura das tensões e correntes de estator, da velocidade e da estimação da posição do eixo, pelas transformações de variáveis, pela implementação dos controladores PI, pela determinação da magnitude e posição do fluxo de estator e pela implementação da modulação do vetor espacial / Abstract: The purpose of this work is to present the implementation of the speed control and reactive power of a doubly fed induction motor with stator flux orientation, by adjusting of the direct and quadrature-axis rotor current components, being the stator fed by a triphasic network. With this aim, four PI controllers are used: two of them have the function of generating the direct and quadrature references of the rotor current from the direct and quadrature rotor voltage errors and the others two, of generating the direct and quadrature references of the rotor voltage from the direct and quadrature rotor current errors. Experimental results of the motor operating with leading, lagging and unity power factor are presented to validate the proposal.

O planejamento, a operação e análise destes sistemas são baseados em estimativas futuras do consumo de energia, e neste contexto são importantes os modelos de previsão de carga ativa e reativa. Nesta dissertação são testados modelos de previsão de curto prazo para carga ativa e reativa utilizando modelos de redes neurais artificiais. Em particular, são implementados e testados várias metodologias de seleção de entradas. A seleção de um subconjunto apropriado de variáveis para a inclusão em um sistema é um passo vital no desenvolvimento de qualquer modelo. Isto é particularmente importante nos modelos de previsão como redes neurais artificiais, pois o desempenho do modelo final é fortemente dependente das variáveis de entrada utilizadas. Esta dissertação desenvolveu um modelo que dá suporte à integração de algumas técnicas de seleção (informação mútua e informação mútua parcial) tendo o intuito de facilitar a utilização destas, assim como a sua comparação quando aplicada a determinados problemas de previsão. Para os experimentos, foram trabalhados 3 barramentos (com faixas de demanda diferentes), sendo que para cada um utilizou-se da carga de potência ativa e reativa. Os resultados alcançados são dados em função do erro médio absoluto e do erro percentual médio absoluto; além dessas medidas, foi realizada uma análise sobre o fator de potência para os valores reais e previstos / Abstract: In a system of alternating current electricity, generation, transmission and consumption of electricity are divided into active and reactive power. The planning, operation and analysis of these systems are based on estimates of future energy consumption, and in this context are important predictive models of active and reactive load. This dissertation tested forecasting models for short-term active and reactive load models using artificial neural networks. In particular, are implemented and tested many methods of selection enters. The selection of an appropriate subset of variables for inclusion in a system is a vital step in the development of any model. This is particularly important in forecasting models such as artificial neural networks, due to the performance of the final model is strongly dependent on the input variables used. This dissertation developed a model that supports the integration of some techniques for selection (mutual information and partial mutual information) with the aim to facilitate the use of these, as well as, its comparison when applied to certain prediction problems. For the experiments have been worked 3 buses (with different ranges of demand), and for each one used the load active and reactive power. The results obtained are given in function of the mean absolute error and mean absolute percentage error; in addition to these measures, an analysis was made of the power factor for the actual and target values / Mestrado / Engenharia de Computação / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica

Through the accumulation system with lead-acid batteries technology, it is also possible that the system minimizes the utility grid consumption, though without solar energy. Given that most of the available inverters for DG are designed only to provide active power or to operate with a fixed power factor, this work, in the meantime, implements the dynamic control of the supplied active and reactive power (P and Q) in micro-grid, acting as a voltage compensator at the PCC to improve the quality of electric power.

Attempts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are promising with the recent dramatic increase of installed renewable energy sources (RES) capacity. Integration of large intermittent renewable resources affects smart grid systems in several significant ways, such as transient and voltage stability, existing protection scheme, and power leveling and energy balancing. To protect the grid from threats related to these issues, utilities impose rigorous technical requirements, more importantly, focusing on fault ride through requirements and active/reactive power responses following disturbances. This dissertation is aimed at developing and verifying the advanced and algorithmic methods for specification of protection schemes, reactive power capability and power control requirements for interconnection of the RESs to the smart grid systems. The first findings of this dissertation verified that the integration of large RESs become more promising from the energy-saving, and downsizing perspective by introducing a resistive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) as a self-healing equipment. The proposed SFCL decreased the activation of the conventional control scheme for the wind power plant (WPP), such as dc braking chopper and fast pitch angle control systems, thereby increased the reliability of the system. A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) has been proposed to assist with the uninterrupted operation of the doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs)-based WTs during grid disturbances. The key motivation of this study was to design a new computational intelligence technique based on a multi-objective optimization problem (MOP), for the online coordinated reactive power control between the DFIG and the STATCOM in order to improve the low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability of the WT during the fault, and to smooth low-frequency oscillations of the active power during the recovery. Furthermore, the application of a three-phase single-stage module-integrated converter (MIC) incorporated into a grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) system was investigated in this dissertation. A new current control scheme based on multivariable PI controller, with a faster dynamic and superior axis decoupling capability compared with the conventional PI control method, was developed and experimentally evaluated for three-phase PV MIC system. Finally, a study was conducted based on the framework of stochastic game theory to enable a power system to dynamically survive concurrent severe multi-failure events, before such failures turn into a full blown cascading failure. This effort provides reliable strategies in the form of insightful guidelines on how to deploy limited budgets for protecting critical components of the smart grid systems.

The installation of wind power plant has significantly increased since several years due to the recent necessity of creating renewable and clean energy sources. Before the accomplishment of a wind power project many pre-studies are required in order to verify the possibility of integrating a wind power plant in the electrical network. The creation of models in different software and their simulation can bring the insurance of a secure operation that meets the numerous requirements imposed by the electrical system. Hence, this Master thesis work consists in the creation of a wind turbine model. This model represents the turbines installed at Lillgrund wind farm, the biggest wind power plant in Sweden. The objectives of this project are to first develop an accurate model of the wind turbines installed at Lillgrund wind farm and further to use it in different kinds of simulations. Those simulations test the wind turbine operating according to different control modes. Also, a power quality analysis is carried out studying in particular two power quality phenomena, namely, the response to voltage sags and the harmonic distortion. The model is created in the software PSCAD that enables the dynamic and static simulations of electromagnetic and electromechanical systems. The model of the wind turbine contains the electrical machine, the power electronics (converters), and the controls of the wind turbine. Especially, three different control modes, e.g., voltage control, reactive power control and power factor control, are implemented, tested and compared. The model is tested according to different cases of voltage sag and the study verifies the fault-ride through capability of the turbine. Moreover, a harmonics analysis is done. Eventually the work concludes about two power quality parameters.

Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία πραγματεύεται τη μελέτη ενός συστήματος διασύνδεσης μιας ανεμογεννήτριας ονομαστικής ισχύος 1kW με το δίκτυο χαμηλής τάσης. Επιπλέον, πραγματεύεται τη σχεδίαση, κατασκευή και έλεγχο ενός τριφασικού αντιστροφέα που αποτελεί την τελευταία βαθμίδα πριν τη σύνδεση με το δίκτυο χαμηλής τάσης. Η εργασία αυτή εκπονήθηκε στο Εργαστήριο Ηλεκτρομηχανικής Μετατροπής Ενέργειας του Τμήματος Ηλεκτρολόγων Μηχανικών και Τεχνολογίας Υπολογιστών της Πολυτεχνικής Σχολής του Πανεπιστημίου Πατρών. Σκοπός είναι η διασύνδεση της ανεμογεννήτριας με το δίκτυο χαμηλής τάσης μέσω δύο βαθμίδων: ενός μετατροπέα ανύψωσης τάσης και ενός τριφασικού αντιστροφέα. Ο μετατροπέας ανύψωσης τάσης αποτελεί αντικείμενο μελέτης της διπλωματικής εργασίας του συνάδελφου Ιωάννη Γκαρτζώνη, ενώ στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία μελετάται και σχεδιάζεται ο τριφασικός αντιστροφέας. Αμφότερες οι διατάξεις περιλαμβάνουν ελέγχους κλειστού βρόχου, μέσω των οποίων απομαστεύεται η μέγιστη ισχύς από την ανεμογεννήτρια (έλεγχος μετατροπέα ανύψωσης) και διατηρείται σταθερή η τάση μεταξύ των δύο βαθμίδων, παρέχοντας ενεργό ισχύ στο δίκτυο υπό μοναδιαίο συντελεστή ισχύος (έλεγχος τριφασικού αντιστροφέα). Αρχικά παρουσιάζονται τα πλεονεκτήματα και μειονεκτήματα της χρήσης ανεμογεννητριών για την παραγωγή ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας και αναλύεται ο τρόπος με τον οποίο η αιολική ενέργεια μετατρέπεται σε ηλεκτρική. Επιπλέον, γίνεται μια σύντομη αναφορά στους τύπους των ανεμογεννητριών, καθώς και στους τρόπους λειτουργίας τους ως προς τη διασύνδεση με το δίκτυο. Στη συνέχεια γίνεται θεωρητική ανάλυση για κάθε βαθμίδα του συνολικού συστήματος. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δίνεται στη λειτουργία του τριφασικού αντιστροφέα και στην τεχνική παλμοδότησής του που ονομάζεται Ημιτονοειδής Διαμόρφωση του Εύρους των Παλμών (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation - SPWM). Επίσης, εξάγονται σχέσεις βάσει των οποίων είναι δυνατό να παραμετροποιηθεί ο τριφασικός μετασχηματιστής με μεγάλη επαγωγή μαγνήτισης που έπεται του τριφασικού αντιστροφέα. Το επόμενο βήμα αποτελεί η προσομοίωση στο λογισμικό προσομοίωσης κυκλωμάτων Simulink του Matlab τόσο του τριφασικού αντιστροφέα σε ανοιχτό και σε κλειστό βρόχο, όσο και ολόκληρου του συστήματος διασύνδεσης. Ο κλειστός βρόχος αποτελεί ένα νέο και άμεσο έλεγχο της ισχύος που παρέχεται στο δίκτυο. Επιπρόσθετα, περιγράφεται ο σχεδιασμός και η κατασκευή όλων των κυκλωμάτων που απαιτούνται για τον τριφασικό αντιστροφέα, το φίλτρο και το μετασχηματιστή. Τέλος πραγματοποιούνται πειραματικές δοκιμές για να διαπιστωθεί η ορθή λειτουργία των βαθμίδων που κατασκευάστηκαν, να εντοπιστούν και δικαιολογηθούν τυχόν διαφορές μεταξύ της θεωρητικής ανάλυσης και των μετρήσεων στην πραγματική διάταξη, καθώς και για να εκτιμηθεί η απόδοση του συστήματος. / The present diploma thesis deals with the interconnection of 1kW wind generator to the low voltage grid. A three phase inverter is the last stage of the interconnection system. The design, construction and control of the three phase inverter is studied. This work was developed in the Laboratory of Electromechanical Conversion Energy at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Technology of Polytechnic School in the University of Patras, Greece. The purpose of this thesis is the connection of the wind generator with the low voltage grid through two stages: a boost converter and a three phase inverter. Both stages are closed loop controlled and in this way the maximum power of the wind generator is supplied (control of the boost converter) and the voltage between the two stages remains constant, providing active power to the grid with unity power factor (control of the three phase inverter). Initially, the advantages and disadvantages of the use of wind generator are presented and the way that the wind energy is converted to mechanical energy and finally to electrical energy is analyzed. Moreover, it is given a short reference in the types of the wind generators used for connection to the grid. In addition, every stage of the whole system is analyzed. Especially, the function of the three phase inverter and the Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation-sPWM are studied. The three phase transformer, that follows the three phase inverter stage, is parameterized through equations that are described in this work. The next step in this thesis is the simulation with Simulink of Matlab. The three phase inverter is simulated in open and closed loop as well as the whole connection system of the wind generator to the low voltage grid. The closed loop control is a new and direct control of active and reactive power that are supplied to the grid. Furthermore, it is described the design and construction of all the circuits for the three phase inverter, the filter and the transformer. Finally, experiments are conducted in order to confirm the proper function of the stages that are constructed, to find differences between theory and reality and to estimate the efficiency factor of the system.
