Electricity transmission and distribution (T&amp.D) networks carry electricity from generation sites to demand sites. With the increasing penetration of decentralised and renewable energy systems. in particular variable power sources such as wind turbines. and the rise in demand-side technologies. the importance of innovative products has never been greater. Eco-design approaches …

The accurate and efficient evaluation of performance degradation of PV technologies is the next logical step to reaping the benefits of PV. as new. more efficient technologies emerge with unstudied and undefined durability and weatherability. Understanding of the performance degradation under real operating conditions is a key requirement for their …

The paper has given an overview of different power electronic converters in WTSs with special attention paid to the many possible topologies at low voltage and medium voltage. An important trend is that the technology is moving toward a higher power level. and it is inevitable that it goes for …

The fault diagnosis of wind converter is in continuous development in recent years. It reduces the downtime and maintenance cost of WECS. and improves the system availability and operational safety. This paper has surveyed typical fault modes of the fragile components in wind converter and has provided a comprehensive review …

We have investigated the impact of TDD on the performance of 1J n+ p GaAs and 2J n+ p InGaP GaAs cells on Si at AM 1.5G spectrum. The analysis indicates that in a 1J GaAs cell on Si with a 2.5-μm-thick GaAs base. an efficiency of greater than 23% …

In this article. our purpose was improving the DFIG stability with tuning of STATCOM control parameters. In order to select the objective function. we proposed a method with the name of integral of time absolute error index or ITAE then optimization process was done by genetic algorithm. Optimization results showed …

With an increase of global energy demand arising in urban settlements. the key challenges for the urban energy transition include analysis of energy efficiency options and the potential of renewable energy systems within the existing building stock. making cities a key actor in the transition success. In Urban Energy Systems …

Dynamics and Control of Electric Transmission and Microgrids offers a concise and comprehensive review of the most recent developments and research in grid dynamics and control. In addition. the authors present a new style of presentation that highlights the role of transmission and distribution grids that ensure the reliability and …

The new formulation for the electrical modeling of the three-level converter combined with the new control strategy reveals the capability in mitigating the unbalancing between the capacitors bank voltages. The THD of the output current with the two-level converter and with the three-level converter have propensity to be decremented with …
