This paper presents a new method to characterize photovoltaic panels. The power electronic converter used is a Pulse Density Modulation (PDM) inverter. In this method, the inverter plays two roles: First, it is a DC inductor emulator. Second, it allows assembly between inductive and capacitive load methods. The PDM inverter is adapted to operate at very high switching frequency. In this application, it avoids the difficulties of making DC inductors with high DC current and its control remains very simple. This is an asset for increasing the power, power density and rapidity of tracers based on this method. The main disadvantage of this method, compared to methods based on DC-DC converter, is the use of twice as many semiconductor components. But this disadvantage can be compensated by a gain on reactive components. The simulations and experimental results of the proposed system are shown.

Power Quality (PQ) has been an important topic since the creation of distribution systems. The deployment of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) provided an important tool to measure the PQ of the electric power in the consumption points. One of the smallest secondary distribution systems in terms of power consumption is the single-phase split-phase system (120 V/240 V) that countries such as the United States, Canada, and some countries of central and south America have. Due to its size, this secondary distribution system is more prone to PQ issues. To that end, an experimental set-up was built by the authors so the distribution system from the Low Voltage (LV) transformer to the final appliances of the different houses was emulated. The aim is to capture the currents and voltages observed by the smart meter located at the entrance of the house and look for the different responses. A combination of real and dummy loads was installed in the set-up, so real noise could also be simulated. The set-up was totally automated by an industrial controller and relays, and it produced a very detailed dataset that could be used for multiple purposes.

The transformation of electrical networks in the context of the new smart grid paradigm unavoidably involves new challenges regarding Power Quality (PQ) disturbances not only for customers but also for all the other involved stakeholders. Among PQ disturbances, waveform distortions have recently gained growing interest due to the massive presence of new technologies in distributed energy resources, in modern loads and in advanced smart metering systems. The presence of these devices determines arduous electromagnetic compatibility problems since the current and voltage waveform distortions in smart grids are characterized by spectral components above the traditional 2 kHz frequency limit, in a range extended up to 150 kHz. In this paper, an interpolated DFT-based (IDFT) method, recently proposed in the relevant literature in the field of signal processing, is properly extended for an accurate and fast assessment of power system waveform distortions in the frequency range from 2 to 150 kHz. Since DFT-based methods can suffer well-known spectral leakage problems, in this paper the IDFT is applied using cosine windows that minimize interference conditions among spectral components and maximise the estimation accuracy of the spectral component amplitude, phase angle and frequency. An optimal number of cosine window terms is also searched to improve the spectral analysis of high-frequency power system waveforms. Numerical applications on synthetic test signals and measured waveforms are carried out to quantify the accuracy and computational efforts of the proposed approach and to select the cosine window terms that better optimize the waveform distortion assessment.

A combination of different energy generation sources, together with the possibility of installing batteries or other forms of energy storage systems, can enable the adaptation of the generated electricity to the needs of the farming sector. From optimal irrigation schedules for crops, to taking advantage of pruning waste to generate electricity at times when other sources are not able to generate it, this fitting can allow the farmers to focus solely on the wellbeing of the plants, without worrying about energy prices. On the other hand, it also provides the possibility of maximising energy production on days where the crop health is already ensured. In summary, this study is the first steps to work on what is missing to create hybrid energy systems that can adapt to the needs of the crops and their ecosystem. These hybrid energy systems applied on farms can improve the wellbeing of isolated areas, such as islands, industrial sites, or villages, helping the owners provide benefits for themselves and their communities.

The entry of companies dealing with renewable energy sources into the market will be analyzed firstly, in addition to the companies dealing with fossil-based energy production, which are still strongly present. Here the game-theoretic stylization of the competition between two types of companies is in scope, while the incumbents determine the energy prices, and those entering the market can respond with quantitative adjustments. After that, the cyber security issues of the market-leading energy companies are under revision. Nowadays, due to the widespread use of computer control systems, a possible cyber-attack is a big risk for a power plant, as it can result in a complete system shutdown or, in the worst case, even irreparable damage. In light of these, risk networks are analyzed in three layers, reflecting normal and extreme market conditions. Ultimately, we will analyze the strategic steps of companies' restructuring and withdrawal. In the current economic situation, many dominant companies have a diversified portfolio, which on one hand promises beneficial profit opportunities and financial stability due to the parallel presence of diverse investment and production directions, but also makes it necessary to abandon the given route and to reallocate resources to another sector if necessary. Based on these points, by the end of the analysis, we will have a clearer picture of the struggle for market dominance of large energy companies and the steps necessary for success.

The utilization of active rectifiers as converters in the interface between AC and DC microgrids has become a prevalent practice owing to their capacity to facilitate bidirectional power flow. The contemporary methodology for the development of power converters includes the integration of real-time simulation steps for the validation of control schemes and the assurance of safe implementation with hardware. The present study proposes a methodology for developing a real-time Hardware-in-theLoop (HIL) simulation framework, which aims to facilitate the rapid prototyping of advanced control algorithms for an ActiveFront-End (AFE) rectifier, especially a Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) control strategy. This approach aims to enhance the dynamic performance and stability of low-inertia power systems by mimicking the behavior of a synchronous generator, thereby providing virtual inertia to the power system. The control schemes and the primary circuit models are designed and implemented utilizing Matlab/Simulink and are optimized for code generation.

Solar energy is an available high-quality source for the operation of many technological systems that fulfil the needs of human society. Among all the many applications, the use of solar energy in aircraft is extremely challenging, with a lot of potential advantages. The application of solar energy for flight is one of the promising uses of renewable energy, and in particular the possibility of improving the long endurance requirement in complex missions of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using solar energy is very attractive. In this context, the article deals with the problem of flight path planning in solar-powered UAVs that fly at a constant altitude. The UAV model incorporates kinematic and dynamic equations where the components of the input vector are the thrust force and the bank angle. Planning the flight path relies here on the flatness property of the system. In fact, his property allows us to plan a flight path without solving non-linear differential equations, and most importantly to link the dynamics of the system, the energy lost and the solar energy absorbed during the flight. Some relevant applications of the approach are discussed, and numerical results are demonstrated. Key words. Solar energy, UAV control, kinematic & dynamic equations, path planning, differentially flat system.

The analysis of Power Quality issues and/or the integration of renewable energy into the grid requires the use of different tools, among which the use of computer simulation applications stands out. The basic objective is to obtain a model of the electrical system under study that allows for knowledge, with a reasonable degree of precision, of its behavior under different operating conditions. The benefits of these tools are manifold, since they allow us to understand the response of the system, both in transient and steady-state conditions, to situations that are difficult to reproduce in practice: short circuits, failures in generation, transmission and distribution infrastructures, etc. Additionally, these tools can be used as platforms for operator training and network planning. Currently, a wide variety of commercial tools that are de facto standards can be found on the market. Some of these tools have a high cost and cannot be used by students outside the academic environment. In parallel, and thanks to the efforts of the scientific community, simulation tools have been developed that are available free of cost under several licensing models. This contribution analyzes some of the available tools, with special attention to those that are published under several open source and academic non-commercial software licenses that are available to the academic community free of cost.

Solar photovoltaic water pumping systems have been research topics in recent decades. The purpose was to develop much more profitable and efficient systems to meet the needs of pumping water for livestock and irrigation. This paper describes the design of a stand-alone photovoltaic water pumping system. A Boost converter is used to apply the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. Similarly, a three-phase voltage source converter (VSC) is used to supply the asynchronous motor. The installation must provide a continuous water flow during the irrigation interval. It has been verified that in adverse weather conditions (cloud transits or partly cloudy) it is necessary to incorporate a decentralized-hybrid energy storage system (based on batteries or ultracapacitors), or excessively oversize the standalone photovoltaic system, to supply the water pump. The model has been simulated in Matlab-Simulink. In this way, different simulations have been developed to verify the basic characteristics of the proposed system. The results of the simulated model and the conclusions obtained are also presented in this paper.
