This thesis proposes a method to establish the accurate parameters of stabilisers in the context of power systems with increasing penetration of Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs), Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) and Photovoltaic (PVs) using a hierarchical coordinated strategy and localised design. The performance of the tuned stabilisers is verified using modal analysis results and non-linear simulation. This thesis proposes that by using regulated stabilisers, the dynamic stability of a power system with large-scale Distributed Generation (DG) integration can be maintained. SmartParks have been proposed in published literature to support emergent electric vehicle charging. In practice, a SmartPark can be configured as an adjustable load, in charging mode, or a regulated generator, in a discharging mode using a voltage control strategy. In this thesis, damping torque analysis (DTA) has been used to investigate the impact on dynamic stability of the joint operation of SmartParks in power systems with conventional synchronous machines. The analysis reveals that in terms of the local damping ratio, optimal charging and local capacity is best considered during SmartPark design. According to a Phillips-Heffron model developed for a multi-machine system with SmartPark, active and reactive power stabiliser can be incorporated into the SmartPark control loops to improve the damping of the system. Finally, this thesis considers the economic operation of micro-grids by proposing a combined EV charging/discharging model which incorporates stochastic uncertainties in vehicle travel patterns and initial battery state of charge (SOC). The model includes provision of energy storage and renewable generation infeed is used to establish an economic basis for micro-grid operation based on market revenues.
