The presence of single-phase distributed generators unevenly injecting active power in three-phase microgrids may create undesired upstream current unbalance. Consequently, voltage asymmetry and even active power curtailment ...

This paper discusses the use of a cascaded multilevel converter for flexible power conditioning in smart-grid applications. The main feature of the proposed scheme is the use of independent dc links with reduced voltages, ...

This paper proposes an effective technique to control the power flow among different phases of a three-phase four-wire distribution power system by means of single-phase converters arbitrarily connected among the phases. ...

Smart micro-grids offer a new challenging domain for power theories and metering techniques, because they include a variety of intermittent power sources which positively impact on power flow and distribution losses, but ...

This paper proposes an approach based on grey relational analysis to analyze and classify potentially disturbing loads taking into account the power factor, unbalance, harmonics and reactive power. By computer simulations, ...

This research analyses the quality of the electricity produced on photovoltaic systems connected to the power grid in the city of Cuenca (Ecuador). For this, an overview of the literature and the Ecuadorian, American, and ...
