    Cloud Induced PV Impact on Voltage Profiles for Real Microgrids
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-09) Kocer, Mustafa Cagatay; Yoldaş, Yeliz; Gören, Selçuk; Onen, Ahmet; Alan, İrfan; Al-Agtash, Salem Y.; Tzovaras, Dimitrios K.; Borg, Nicholas
    Integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into power systems has been a popular topic for a long time. Due to government policies and incentives, it will be more popular in the future since it is a free and environment-friendly nature. Besides its advantages, photovoltaic (PV) generation causes some serious problems to the grid. Since PV generation directly depends on the solar irradiance, cloud movements can cause sudden changes on the output of PV power and this results in some power issues in the system such as voltage violations, reverse power flow, voltage fluctuations. These types of issues complicate to maintain voltage within compulsory levels at customer sides. Thus, cloud-induced transients in PV power are seen as a potential handicap for the future expansion of renewable energy resources. This study investigates effects of instantaneous changes in PV power on the customer side voltage levels. Daily PV power output and voltage profiles were simulated using a real-world microgrid design that will be implemented in the Malta College of Arts Science and Technology (MCAST) Campus. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    A Hybrid Agent-Based Secondary Control for Microgrids With Increased Fault-Tolerance Needs
    (Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2018) Bintoudi, Angelina D.; Zyglakis, Lampros; Apostolos, C. Tsolakis; Ioannidis, Dimosthenis K.; Al-Agtash, Salem Y.; Martinez-Ramos, J. L.; Martensen, Nis; Tzovaras, Dimitrios; Tsolakis, Apostolos C.
    This paper proposes a hybrid secondary control architecture for microgrids with AC-coupled droop-controlled units, based on both centralised and distributed control principles. The proposed secondary control is based on a multi-agent system (MAS), complemented by a microgrid centralised controller (MGCC). The system is able to adjust the droop curves dynamically in order to achieve voltage/frequency restoration as well as active/reactive power optimal allocation, based on the actual status of the controllable units, in particular, the state-of-charge of batteries and maximum power point of photovoltaics. The distributed nature of the agents is also fully exploited because the proposed framework retains operability even under fault on secondary MGCC. To evaluate the proposed framework, a scenario-based performance analysis has been tested over a simulated AC islanded microgrid, where communication from the MGCC is suddenly interrupted and the MAS is required to reconfigure in order to maintain the same control objectives. MATLAB/Simulink simulations have been realised using detailed physical form models for a small-scale microgrid, while the implementation of the MGCC and MAS is accomplished through Java Agent Development (JADE) framework. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
