    Design Considerations for Campus Micro-Grid: MCAST Case Study
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-06) Azzopardi, Brian; Azzopardi, Stefan; Mikalauskienė, Renata; Salem, Al Agtash; Hadjidemetriou, Lenos; Tzovaras, Dimitrios K.; Borg, Nicholas Paul; Camilleri, Tim
    This paper aims to propose design considerations to transform the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) current and future planned electrical network system into an efficient micro-grid. MCAST is a young higher education and research institution with its campus developing to a state-ofthe-art campus with a vision to establish a living laboratory for training and research. During this study, consumption of electrical loads and photovoltaic (PV) generation have been monitored in real-time to define the micro-grid concept. These measurements provide the values to integrate a combined 63kWp PV system together with intelligent loads such as heating, ventilation and airconditioning systems, and lighting, highlighting the integration capabilities. In addition, the future enlargement of the MCAST micro-grid is considered and recommendations are given on the infrastructure to complete an integral campus wide transformation. Eventually the 3DMgrid would be a blueprint for future micro-grids for training and research purposes. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    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.
