Although in electric power systems (EPS) the regulatory level guarantees a bounded error between the reference and the corresponding system variables, to keep its availability in time, optimizing the system operation is ...

There is an increasing interest and research effort focused on the analysis, design and implementation of distributed control systems for AC, DC and hybrid AC / DC microgrids. It is claimed that distributed controllers ...

This work presents a methodology for designing a supervisory control structure in plantwide control (PWC). First, available PWC structures are discussed focusing on their drawbacks originating from the scarce flexibility ...

This paper proposes a modified version of the power‐based control (MPBC) applied to microgrids (μGs) with multiple points of connection (i.e., utility grid itself or any other neighboring μG). Using the MPBC, single‐phase ...

This paper addresses the problem of the optimal stabilization of DC microgrids using a hierarchical control design. A recursive optimal power flow formulation is proposed in the tertiary stage that ensures the global ...

The integration of large numbers of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) into the distribution system could take place either by reinforcement of the existing network assets, or the incorporation of active management of ...
