CZT-Based Harmonic Analysis in Smart Grid Using Low-Cost Electronic Measurement Boards

2023

This paper validates the use of a harmonic analysis algorithm on a microcontroller to perform measurements of non-stationary signals in the context of smart grids. The increasing presence of electronic devices such as inverters of distributed generators (DG), power converters of charging stations for electric vehicles, etc. can drain non-stationary currents during their operation. A classical fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm may not have sufficient spectral resolution for the evaluation of harmonics and inter-harmonics. Thus, in this paper, the implementation of a chirp-Z transform (CZT) algorithm is suggested, which has a spectral resolution independent from the observation window. T…

Coupled Electric and Hydraulic Control of a PRS Turbine in a Real Transport Water Network

2019

Although many devices have recently been proposed for pressure regulation and energy harvesting in water distribution and transport networks, very few applications are still documented in the scientific literature. A new in-line Banki turbine with positive outflow pressure and a mobile regulating flap, named Power Recovery System (PRS), was installed and tested in a real water transport network for the regulation of pressure and flow rate. The PRS turbine was directly connected to a 55 kW asynchronous generator with variable rotational velocity, and coupled to an inverter. The start-up tests showed how automatic adjustment of the flap position and the runner velocity variation are able to c…

Innovative Solutions for the Integration of Renewable Energies on Tunisian and Sicilian Electrical Grids

2022

The rapid spread of distributed generation from renewable energy sources, combined with their unpredictable behavior, requires the continuous monitoring and control by the Distribution System Operator, in order to guarantee the stability and efficiency of the distribution network. Thus, in this paper a new measurement and communication architecture is proposed, which foresees the use of innovative devices and different technology-oriented solutions, even redundant ones, which allows the transition from passive to active electricity distribution network, with minimal structural changes. The architecture has been developed in the framework of the SInERT project (Italy-Tunisia cross-border coo…
