INVERTER-BASED DISTRIBUTED GENERATORS, MODELING AND CONTROL

In the last few years, electrical power generation is moving from a centralized generation towards distributed generation including on-site Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). In order to overcome RES related issues, as intermittent and fluctuating power, storage elements are included in the on-site generation system. The interaction between distributed generator (DG) units including RES, storage and front-end power converters should be carefully modeled in order to analyze the power system stability. An accurate modeling of DGs is required. In this thesis, a new modeling approach has been proposed for the inverter-based DGs based on the concept of electrostatic synchronous machines. Detailed …
