    Novel Hybrid Design for Microgrid Control
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2017-11) Bintoudi, Angelina D.; Zyglakis, Lampros; Apostolos, Tsolakis; Ioannidis, Dimosthenis K.; Al-Agtash, Salem Y.; Martinez-Ramos, J. L.; Martensen, Nis; Tzovaras, Dimitrios
    This paper proposes a new hybrid control system for an AC microgrid. The system uses both centralised and decentralised strategies to optimize the microgrid energy control while addressing the challenges introduced by current technologies and applied systems in real microgrid infrastructures. The well-known 3-level control (tertiary, secondary, primary) is employed with an enhanced hierarchical design using intelligent agent-based components in order to improve efficiency, diversity, modularity, and scalability. The main contribution of this paper is dual. During normal operation, the microgrid central controller (MGCC) is designed to undertake the management of the microgrid, while providing the local agents with the appropriate constraints for optimal power flow. During MGCC fault, a peer-to-peer communication is enabled between neighbouring agents in order to make their optimal decision locally. The initial design of the control structure and the detailed analysis of the different operating scenarios along with their requirements have shown the applicability of the new system in real microgrid environments. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Modeling and Real Time Digital Simulation of Microgrids for Campuses Malta and Jordan Based on Multiple Distributed Energy Resources
    (Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science, 2021-02-01) Khiat, Sidahmed; Chaker, Abdelkader El Kader; Zacharia, Lazaros; Onen, Ahmet
    This paper presents the modeling and real-time digital simulation of two microgrids: The malta college of arts, science and technology (MCAST) and the German jordan university (GJU). The aim is to provide an overview of future microgrid situation and capabilities with the benefits of integrating renewable energy sources (RES), such as photovoltaic panels, diesel generators and energy storage systems for projects on both campuses. The significance of this work starts with the fact that real measurements were used from the two pilots, obtained by measuring the real physical systems. These measures were used to plan different solutions regarding RES and energy storage system (ESS) topologies and sizes. Also, the demand curves for the real microgrids of MCAST and GJU have been parameterized, which may serve as a test bed for other studies in this area. Based on actual data collected from the two pilots, a real-time digital simulation is performed using an RT-LAB platform. The results obtained by this tool allow the microgrid manager to have a very accurate vision of the facility operation, in terms of power flow and default responses. Several scenarios are studied, extracting valuable insight for implementing both projects in the future. Eventually, the proposed models would be a blueprint for training and research purposes in the microgrid field. © 2020 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.

    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.
