A rápida variação da frequência existente em redes com grande integração de geração renovável ocasiona assim uma maior dificuldade na manutenção da estabilidade de frequência, pois diferentemente dos sistemas convencionais (por exemplo os Hídricos e Térmicos), onde a inércia dos geradores é suficientemente alta, para a maioria desses novos sistemas isso não é válido. Nesse contexto, na presente dissertação será proposta a utilização do conceito de “inércia virtual”, que corresponde a uma combinação de algoritmos de controle, dispositivos de armazenamento de energia elétrica e eletrônica de potência aplicada às fontes renováveis, como as fotovoltaicas, conectadas às redes de energia através de inversores, a qual emula a inércia de um sistema de geração convencional. Será apresentado ainda um modelo baseado em uma análise a pequeno sinal linearizado, desenvolvido para avaliar a estabilidade de um circuito de controle de potência quando o gerador fotovoltaico fornecer resposta em frequência, além da resposta inercial emulada com sistemas fotovoltaicos por meio de técnicas baseadas no controlador MPPT no Método de Deslocamento e da estratégia de controle Droop no domínio do tempo. Esta modelagem é testada em um sistema de energia elétrica composto por máquinas síncronas e uma planta de geração de energia fotovoltaica em larga escala para a análise dos efeitos do sistema de controle em relação à estabilidade de frequência. As simulações realizadas com o auxílio do software MATLAB/Simulink, consideram diferentes constantes de inércia para uma condição de variação (queda) na frequência elétrica, ocasionada pela inserção de cargas no sistema elétrico. Resultados comparativos indicam que é maior o impacto da geração fotovoltaica na estabilidade do sistema de energia quando a energia fornecida pelo gerador da planta convencional é menor. Resultados também comprovam que quando o sistema fotovoltaico está fornecendo energia para a rede elétrica, a frequência do mesmo decai afetando a estabilidade e operação do sistema de potência através da degradação da dinâmica de frequência. / The large-scale integration of intermittent sources of renewable energies, such as photovoltaic systems, into electrical power systems generates new technical issues, since such sources do not participate in frequency regulation because they do not exhibit inertia of rotation. The rapid frequency variation, normally found in networks with a high degree of integration of renewable generation, therefore causes greater difficulty in maintaining frequency stability, unlike conventional systems (for example Hydro and Thermal), where the inertia of the generators is sufficiently high , for most of these new systems this is not valid. In this context, the present dissertation will propose the use of the concept of "virtual inertia", which corresponds to a combination of control algorithms, electrical energy storage devices and power electronics applied to renewable sources, such as photovoltaics, connected to networks of power through inverters, which emulates the inertia of a conventional generation system. It will be presented a model based on a small linearized signal analysis, developed to evaluate the stability of a power control circuit when the photovoltaic generator provides frequency response and the inertial response emulated with photovoltaic systems by means of techniques based on the MPPT controller in the Displacement Method and the Droop control strategy in the time domain. This modeling is tested in an electric power system composed of synchronous machines and a large-scale photovoltaic power generation plant for the analysis of the effects of the control system in relation to frequency stability. The simulations performed with MATLAB/Simulink software consider different inertia constants for a condition of variation (decrease) in the electric frequency, caused by the insertion of loads in the electric system. Comparative results indicate that the impact of photovoltaic generation on the stability of the power system is greater when the power supplied by the conventional plant generator is lower. Results also prove that when the photovoltaic system is supplying power to the grid, its frequency decreases, affecting the stability and operation of the power system through the degradation of the frequency dynamics.

L'intégration des sources d'énergies renouvelables sur le réseau électrique est complexe en raison de leur nature intermittente et décentralisée. Le micro-réseau est une approche prometteuse pour interconnecter des générateurs distribués (DGs) locaux, alimenter des charges locales et également échanger de l'énergie avec le réseau électrique de manière contrôlée. Ce mode de production/consommation locales permet d'éviter la transmission d'électricité sur de longues distances, et implique donc une plus grande efficacité. Ces travaux se concentrent sur l'analyse et le contrôle du micro-réseau continu afin que les DGs se répartissent l'alimentation des charges et qu'ils maintiennent également la tension du bus continu. À l'équilibre, les contraintesde la commande du statisme classique (droop control) pour un système comportant de multiples DGs sont analysés, et une méthode de compensation mixte est proposée pour améliorer simultanément le maintien en tension et le partage du courant de charge. En dynamique, le modèle global du système est construit en introduisant une inductance virtuelle dans le circuit équivalent du DG, puis plusieurs modèles d'ordre réduit sont examinés pour vérifier leur efficacité dans l'analyse de la stabilité du système. Un modèle multi-échelle d'ordre réduit (RMM) est proposé afin de conserver les contraintes temporelles ainsi que de réduire la complexité du système. Enfin, une méthode basée sur le contrôle de rejet de perturbation active (ADRC) est présentée afin de mettre en oeuvre le contrôle local de la tension des DG en prenant en compte l'échelle de temps. Cette méthode permet d'améliorer la dynamique du système de contrôle en ajustant la largeur de bande passante de la commande et de l'observateur. Les analyses et les méthodes de contrôle proposées sont vérifiées par des essais expérimentaux dans notre plateforme au laboratoire. / The direct integration of renewable energy resources to the utility grid is pretty tough due to their intermittent feature and dispersed nature. Microgrid is one promising approach to gather the local distributed generators (DGs), supply local loads as well as exchange power with the utility grid as a controllable unit. This local-generation-localconsumption mode is able to avoid the long distance power transmission, thus can benefit a higher efficiency. The control aim of DC microgrids is to make the multiple DGs share the load properly as well as maintain the DCbus voltage stable. In steady state, the constrains of the classic droop control in multiple DGs environment are analyzed, and a mixed compensation method using common current is proposed to improve the voltage and load sharing performance simultaneously. In dynamic state, the system comprehensive model is constructed by the introduction of virtual inductor in the equivalent circuit of the DG, then several reduced-order models are examined to check their effectiveness for the system stability analysis. A reduced-order multi-scale model (RMM) is proposedto keep major time scale information as well as reduce the system complexity. Finally, an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) based control method is proposed to realize the time scale droop control. It can effectively adjust the dynamic of the local control by adjusting the bandwidth of the Linear Extend State Observer or/and the controller. The proposed analysis and control methods are verified by experimental tests in our laboratory platform.

Long term supporting schemes for photovoltaic (PV) system installation have led to accommodating large numbers of PV systems within load pockets in distribution grids. High penetrations of PV systems can cause new technical challenges, such as voltage rise due to reverse power flow during light load and high PV generation conditions. Therefore, new strategies are required to address the associated challenges. Moreover, due to these changes in distribution grids, a different response behavior of the distribution grid on the transmission side can be expected. Hence, a new equivalent model of distribution grids with high penetration of PV systems is needed to be addressed for future power system studies. The thesis contributions lie in three parts. The first part of the thesis copes with the PV modelling. A non-proprietary PV model of a three-phase, single stage PV system is developed in PSCAD/EMTDC and PowerFactory. Three different reactive power regulation strategies are incorporated into the models and their behavior are investigated in both simulation platforms using a distribution system with PV systems. In the second part of the thesis, the voltage rise problem is remedied by use of reactive power. On the other hand, considering large numbers of PV systems in grids, unnecessary reactive power consumption by PV systems first increases total line losses, and second it may also jeopardize the stability of the network in the case of contingencies in conventional power plants, which supply reactive power. Thus, this thesis investigates and develops the novel schemes to reduce reactive power flows while still keeping voltage within designated limits via three different approaches: decentralized voltage control to the pre-defined set-points developing a coordinated active power dependent (APD) voltage regulation Q(P)using local signals developing a multi-objective coordinated droop-based voltage (DBV) regulation Q(V) using local signals   In the third part of the thesis, furthermore, a gray-box load modeling is used to develop a new static equivalent model of a complex distribution grid with large numbers of PV systems embedded with voltage support schemes. In the proposed model, variations of voltage at the connection point simulate variations of the model’s active and reactive power. This model can simply be integrated intoload-flow programs and replace the complex distribution grid, while still keepingthe overall accuracy high. The thesis results, in conclusion, demonstrate: i) using rms-based simulations in PowerFactory can provide us with quite similar results using the time domain instantaneous values in PSCAD platform; ii) decentralized voltage control to specific set-points through the PV systems in the distribution grid is fundamentally impossible dueto the high level voltage control interaction and directionality among the PV systems; iii) the proposed APD method can regulate the voltage under the steady-state voltagelimit and consume less total reactive power in contrast to the standard characteristicCosφ(P)proposed by German Grid Codes; iv) the proposed optimized DBV method can directly address voltage and successfully regulate it to the upper steady-state voltage limit by causing minimum reactive power consumption as well as line losses; v) it is beneficial to address PV systems as a separate entity in the equivalencing of distribution grids with high density of PV systems. / <p>The Doctoral Degrees issued upon completion of the programme are issued by Comillas Pontifical University, Delft University of Technology and KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

A existência de um controle local independente da rede elétrica define uma microrrede, a qual pode se conectar ao sistema tradicional de potência ou desconectar-se e funcionar de forma autônoma a depender das condições físicas e/ou econômicas. O presente trabalho apresenta dois métodos de controle para o paralelismo de inversores em microrredes, o controle por inclinação e o controle mestre-escravo, com o objetivo de realizar um estudo comparativo. Primeiramente, são mostrados os conceitos de geração distribuída, microrredes e paralelismo de inversores. Depois, são apresentados os fundamentos teóricos e as principais características dos controles por inclinação e mestre-escravo. Por fim, é feita uma comparação entre as duas técnicas de controle para que permita definir qual é a melhor. Esta comparação é feita por meio de simulações de uma microrrede, analisando o seu desempenho nas situações conectada à rede elétrica principal, em ilhamento e durante o transitório de desconexão. Também é observado o comportamento de grandezas como corrente, amplitude e frequência da tensão e ainda o compartilhamento de carga entre os inversores. / Microgrid is a set of distributed generation and energy storage systems that supplies the demand of a group of consumers . The existence of a local control, independently of the main grid, defines a microgrid, which can be connected to or disconnected from the traditional power system working autonomously depending on the physical or economic conditions. This work presents two control methods for paralleling inverters in microgrids, droop control and masterslave control, in order to conduct a comparative study between both control techniques. Firstly, the concepts of distributed generation, microgrid and paralleled inverters are shown. Then, it is presented the theoretical fundamentals and main features of droop control and master-slave control. Finally, a comparison is done between both control techniques to allow define the best control technique. This comparison is done by means of simulations of a microrrede, analyzing its performance in the situations connected to the main grid, in islanding and during the disconnection transient. Also, it is observed the quantities behavior such as the current, the voltage amplitude and frequency and also the power shared among the inverters.

This Master of Science thesis was written based on the shipbuilder Kockums AB feasibility study regarding the development of an All- Electric Ship for the Swedish Navy. The thesis was aiming at addressing voltage stability issues in a dc system fed by PWM rectifiers operating in parallel when supplying constant power loads. A basic computer model was developed for investigating the influence from various parameters on the system. It was shown that the voltage stability is dependent upon the ability to store energy in large capacitors. It was also shown that a voltage droop must be implemented maintaining load sharing within acceptable limits. Different cases of operation were modelled, faults were discussed, and the principal behaviour of the system during a short-circuit was investigated. It was shown that the short-circuit current is much more limited in this type of system in comparison to an ac system. It was concluded that more research and development regarding the components of the system must be performed.

“High voltage direct current” (HVDC) teknologi har blivit allt viktigare teknik för att integrera förnybara energikällor i elnätet. För att styra ett sådant elsystem på bästa möjliga sätt krävs optimala kontrollstatergier både för omvandlarna och nätet. Så syftet med detta projekt är att undersöka hur olika regleringsmetoder, såsom centraliseradoch distribuerad spänningskontroll, kan påverka driften i ett 4-terminal HVDC-system. Ett optimalt effektflöde uppstår i systemet endast när likspänningen inte avviker från sitt börvärde och det uppnås genom att ha aktiv effekt regulator i varje nod i nätet. Olika scenarier som ändring av effektens börvärde och omvandlaravbrott har simulerats med hjälp av HIL-processen i realtid. Simuleringarna hjälper till att analysera hur väl dem implementerade regleringsmetoder i nodernas regulatorer hantera dessa förändringar. Resultatet ger bevis på att både centraliseradoch distruebued metoden har positiva och negativa aspekter. Fördelen med centraliserade metoden är att den ger en väldefinierad operationspunkt men den hanterar den inte svåra transienter (tex. avbrott) vilket distribuerade metoden gör.

In order to meet the increasing demand ofenergy in today’s society while at the same time minimizing theenvironmental impact, renewable energy sources will be requiredto be integrated into the existing energy mix. Technologicaladvances in high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids playa crucial role in making this possible. Therefore the purposeof this project has been to validate the properties of basiccontrol strategies in terms of how they respond to four differentsimulation cases. All simulations have been conducted on asimplified version of the CIGR ́E B4 test grid, consisting offour monopolar HVDC converters. After analyzing the resultsobtained from each control strategy it became evident thatprovided if the benefits of the redundancy introduced by amulti-terminal grid are to be fully utilized, a distributed voltagecontrol should be used. Moreover, after substituting one ofthe four internal controllers with an external one, it becameclear that simply deciding the droop constants based on resultsfrom the simulation model wouldn’t be sufficient for real worldapplications. / För att möta det ökande energibehovet i dagens samhälle, samtidigt som energiproduktionens miljöpåverkan ska minimeras, krävs det att förnyelsebara energikällor integreras i den existerande energimixen. Tekniska framsteg inom högspända likströmsnät (HVDC) spelar en avgörande roll i att göra detta möjligt. Därför har syftet med detta projekt varit att validera egenskaperna hos grundläggande kontrollstrategier efter hur dem reagerar på fyra olika simuleringsfall. Alla simuleringar har genomförts på en förenklad version av CIGRE´ B4 testsystem, bestående av fyra monopolära HVDC omriktare. Efter att analyserat de erhållna resultaten från varje kontrollstrategi blev det uppenbart att om fördelarna med multiterminala elnät skulle uppnås, bör en distribuerad spänningskontroll användas. Dessutom, efter att ha bytt ut en av dem fyra interna kontrollerna med en extern, visade det sig att endast bestämma droppkonstanterna baserat på resultat från simuleringsmodellen inte är tillräckligt för verkliga applikationer. / Kandidatexjobb i elektroteknik 2020, KTH, Stockholm

Phytoplanktonarten unterscheiden sich in ihren Ansprüchen hinsichtlich Ressourcen wie Nährstoffe, Licht und andere physikalische Faktoren. Wechselwirkungen zwischen Nährstoffen und physikalischen Faktoren beeinflussen daher die Artenzusammensetzung einer Phytoplanktongemeinschaft. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde der Einfluss von Temperatur und Photoperiode auf das Phytoplanktonwachstum in Abhängigkeit vom Lichtregime und dem Angebot an Phosphor (P) und Silizium (Si) untersucht. Hierfür wurden Wachstums- und Konkurrenzexperimente unter Laborverhältnissen mit Stephanodiscus minutulus, Nitzschia acicularis (beides Bacillariophyceae) und Limnothrix redekei (Cyanophyceae) durchgeführt, ein Modell der Faktorinteraktionen entwickelt sowie ökologische Langzeitdaten des Müggelsees (Berlin) statistisch ausgewertet. Die Effekte von Temperatur und Photoperiode auf die Wachstumsraten unterschieden sich nicht zwischen konstantem und fluktuierendem Licht. Die Auswirkungen der Photoperiode und der Lichtfluktuationen auf die Wachstumsraten waren hierbei additiv. Der Grad der Limitation der Wachstumsraten durch P oder Si wurde durch die Photoperiode nicht signifikant beeinflusst. Wechselwirkungen zwischen Temperatur und P oder Si waren hingegen komplex und artspezifisch. Unabhängig davon, ob die Wachstumsraten durch P, Si oder fluktuierendes Licht gesteuert wurden, war S. minutulus konkurrenzstärker bei niedrigeren Temperaturen und N. acicularis bei höheren Temperaturen. Zusammenfassend zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass die Faktorinteraktionstypen artspezifisch sind, die Adaptation der Arten widerspiegeln und so zur Nischen-Differenzierung beitragen. Kenntnisse dieser Wechselwirkungen fördern deshalb unser Verständnis der Phytoplanktondiversität und ermöglichen es, Reaktionen des Phytoplanktons auf Klimaerwärmung und Trophieveränderung, die mit einer Verschiebung der Verhältnisse zwischen Nährstoffen, Temperatur und Licht einhergehen, besser vorherzusagen. / Phytoplankton species have different resource requirements and different sensitivities to important growth factors. Interactions between nutrients and physical factors, such as temperature and light should therefore influence the species composition. Because these interactions are poorly understood, this study investigated the interactive effects of temperature and photoperiod on phytoplankton growth controlled by fluctuating light, phosphorus (P) and silicon (Si). Growth and competition experiments were performed in the laboratory on Stephanodiscus minutulus, Nitzschia acicularis (both Bacillariophyceae) and Limnothrix redekei (Cyanophyceae). A model of factor interactions was developed and long-term field data from Lake Müggelsee (Berlin) were statistically analysed. Temperature and photoperiod had the same influence on growth under fluctuating light as they did under constant light. The photoperiod and short term light fluctuations caused by mixing had additive effects on growth. P and Si interacted strongly with temperature with respect to growth, but less with the photoperiod. The Droop relation fitted to S. minutulus but not N. acicularis. The Monod equation could not sufficiently account for non-steady dynamics of diatom growth under Si limitation, underestimating uptake rates and overestimating uptake affinity. Estimates based on the Monod model may therefore considerably underestimate the degree of Si limitation. The types of factor interactions were generally species-specific, reflected niche adaptation and enhanced niche differentiation. Interactions between nutrients and physical factors are relevant to growth during spring and contribute to the phytoplankton composition. Understanding the interactions should improve our knowledge of phytoplankton diversity and increase our ability to predict phytoplankton response to climate and trophic change, which shift the relationship between nutrients, temperature and light.

Les sujets abordés dans cette thèse s'articulent autour de la modélisation numérique du couplage entre l'hydrodynamique et la biologie pour la culture industrielle de microalgues dans des raceways. Ceci est fait au moyen d'un modèle multicouches qui disrétise verticalement les équations de Navier-Stokes hydrostatiques couplé avec un modèle de Droop photosensible pour représenter la croissance des algues, notamment la production de carbone. D'un point de vue numérique, une méthode volumes finis avec schémas cinétiques est appliquée. Elle permet d'obtenir un schéma équilibre qui préserve la positivité de la hauteur d'eau et des quantités biologiques et qui satisfait une inégalité d'énergie. Des simulations sont effectuées en 2D et en 3D, au moyen d'un code C++ développé à cet effet. Du point de vue de l'intérêt pratique de ce travail, ces simulations ont permis de mettre en évidence l'utilité de la roue à aube présente dans les raceways, mais aussi d'exhiber les trajectoires lagrangiennes réalisées par les microalgues, qui permettent de connaitre l'historique lumineux des algues, information d'une grande importance pour les biologistes car elle leur permet d'adapter leurs modèles de croissance phytoplanctoniques à ce contexte très particulier et non naturel. Afin de valider les modèles et les stratégies numériques employées, deux pistes on été explorées. La première consiste à proposer des solutions analytiques pour les équations d'Euler à surface libre, ainsi qu'un modèle biologique spécifique permettant un couplage analytique. La deuxième consiste à faire de l'assimilation de données. Afin de tirer partie de la description cinétique des lois de conservation hyperboliques, une méthode innovante basée sur la construction d'un observateur de Luenberger au niveau cinétique est développée. Elle permet d'obtenir un cadre théorique intéressant pour les lois de conservation scalaires, pour lesquelles on étudie les cas d'observations complètes, partielles en temps, en espace, et bruitées. Pour les systèmes, on se concentre particulièrement sur le système de Saint-Venant, système hyperbolique non linéaire et un observateur basé sur l'observation des hauteurs d'eau uniquement est construit. Des simulations numériques dans les cas scalaires et systèmes, en 1D et 2D sont effectuées et valident l'efficacité de la méthode.
