The installed capacity of solar photovoltaic (PV) based generating power plants has
increased significantly in the last couple of decades compared to the various renewable …

Today, conventional power systems are evolving to smart grids, which encompass clusters
of AC/DC microgrids, interfaced through power electronics converters. In such systems …

Rapid industrialization and its automation on the globe demands increased generation of
electrical energy with more reliability and quality. Renewable energy (RE) sources are …

The concept of microgrid hierarchical control is presented recently. In this paper, a
hierarchical scheme is proposed which includes primary and secondary control levels. The …

This paper investigates the issue of accurate reactive, harmonic and imbalance power
sharing in a microgrid. Harmonic and imbalance droop controllers are developed to …

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in using distributed generators (DGs) not
only to inject power into the grid but also to enhance the power quality. In this paper, a …

This paper presents a nonlinear control technique for a three-phase shunt active power filter
(SAPF). The method provides compensation for reactive, unbalanced, and harmonic load …

The proper operation of grid-connected power electronics converters needs using a
synchronization technique to estimate the phase of the grid voltage. The performance of this …

In islanded microgrids (MGs), distributed generators (DGs) can be employed as distributed
compensators for improving the power quality in the consumer side. Two-level hierarchical …

The high penetration level of power electronics interfaced distributed generation (DG)
systems creates great ancillary services potential through the DG interfacing converters …
