Photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are key components in the energy market and crucial contributors to carbon emission reduction targets. These systems can not only provide energy but can also generate considerable revenue by providing frequency regulation services and participating in carbon trading. This study proposes a bidding strategy for PV and BESSs operating in joint energy and frequency regulation markets, with a specific focus on carbon reduction benefits. A two-stage bidding framework that optimizes the profit of PV and BESSs is presented. In the first stage, the day-ahead energy market takes into account potential real-time forecast deviations. In the second stage, the real-time balancing market uses a rolling optimization method to account for multiple uncertainties. Notably, a real-time frequency regulation control method is proposed for the participation of PV and BESSs in automatic generation control (AGC). This is particularly relevant given the uncertainty of grid frequency fluctuations in the optimization model of the real-time balancing market. This control method dynamically assigns the frequency regulation amount undertaken by the PV and BESSs according to the control interval in which the area control error (ACE) occurs. The case study results demonstrate that the proposed bidding strategy not only enables the PV and BESSs to effectively participate in the grid frequency regulation response but also yields considerable carbon emission reduction benefits and effectively improves the system operation economy.

Two-level totem-pole power factor correction (PFC) converters in critical conduction mode (CRM) suffer from the wide regulation range of switching frequency. Besides, in high-frequency applications, the number of switching times increases, resulting in significant switching losses. To solve these issues, this paper proposes an improved modulation strategy for the single-phase three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) converter in CRM with PFC. By optimizing the discharging strategy and switching state sequence, the switching frequency and its variation range have been efficiently reduced. The detailed performance analysis is also presented regarding the switching frequency, the average switching times, and the effect of voltage gain. A 2 kW prototype is built to verify the effectiveness of the proposed modulation strategy and analysis results. Compared with the totem-pole PFC converter, the switching frequency regulation range of the three-level PFC converter is reduced by 36%, and the average switching times is reduced by 45%. The experimental result also shows a 1.2% higher efficiency for the three-level PFC converter in the full load range.

In an autonomous droop-based microgrid, the system voltage and frequency (VaF) are subject to deviations as load changes. Despite the existence of various control methods aimed at correcting system frequency deviations at the secondary control level without any communication network, the challenges associated with these methods and their abilities to simultaneously restore microgrid VaF have not been fully investigated. In this paper, a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) model reference adaptive controller (MRAC) is proposed to achieve VaF restoration while accurate power sharing among distributed generators (DGs) is maintained. The proposed MRAC, without any communication network, is designed based on two methods: droop-based and inertia-based methods. For the microgrid, the suggested design procedure is started by defining a model reference in which the control objectives, such as the desired settling time, the maximum tolerable overshoot, and steady-state error, are considered. Then, a feedback-feedforward controller is established, of which the gains are adaptively tuned by some rules derived from the Lyapunov stability theory. Through some simulations in MATLAB/SimPowerSystem Toolbox, the proposed MRAC demonstrates satisfactory performance.

Battery energy storage stations (BESSs) pose several challenges for both phasor-based differential protection and the newly-proposed time-domain differential protection. These challenges include low sensitivity and even rejection. Besides, the negative impact of various nonideal conditions, including current transformer (CT) saturation, errors, and outliers, on the security of differential protection remains an important problem. Motivated by the aforementioned issues, this study accounts for the trajectory distribution discrepancy on Cartesian plane under various conditions and proposes a time-domain differential protection method. In this paper, the trajectory formed by operating and restraining current samples is developed. Subsequently, after considering different operating states, the fault severity levels, and nonideal conditions, the variances in trajectory distribution between internal and external faults are extensively analyzed. On this basis, the Cartesian plane is divided into operating, uncertainty, and restraining zones. Further, the operating and restraining trajectory indices are meticulously designed and a protection criterion based on these indices is formed to accurately separate internal faults from other events, unaffected by CT saturation, errors, and outliers. The exceptional performance of the proposed protection method is extensively validated through PSCAD simulations and a hardware-in-the-loop testing platform. Regarding the dependability, sensitivity, and security, the proposed protection method outperforms three state-of-the-art differential protection methods.

Continuous power supply of urban power networks (UPNs) is quite essential for the public security of a city because the UPN acts as the basis for other infrastructure networks. In recent years, UPN is threatened by extreme weather events. An accurate modeling of load loss risk under extreme weather is quite essential for the preventive action of UPN. Considering the forecast intensity of a typhoon disaster, this paper proposes analytical modeling of disaster-induced load loss for preventive allocation of mobile power sources (MPSs) in UPNs. First, based on the topological structure and fragility model of overhead lines and substations, we establish an analytical load loss model of multi-voltage-level UPN to quantify the spatial distribution of disaster-induced load loss at the substation level. Second, according to the projected load loss distribution, a preventive allocation method of MPS is proposed, which makes the best use of MPS and dispatches the limited power supply to most vulnerable areas in the UPN. Finally, the proposed method is validated by the case study of a practical UPN in China.

Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) serve a crucial role in balancing energy fluctuations and reducing carbon emissions in net-zero power systems. However, the efficiency and cost performance have remained significant challenges, which hinders the widespread adoption and development of BESSs. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a real-time energy management scheme that considers the involvement of prosumers to support net-zero power systems. The scheme is based on two shared energy storage models, referred to as energy storage sale model and power line lease model. The energy storage sale model balances real-time power deviations by energy interaction with the goal of minimizing system costs while generating revenue for shared energy storage providers (ESPs). Additionally, power line lease model supports peer-to-peer (P2P) power trading among prosumers through the power lines laid by ESPs to connect each prosumer. This model allows ESP to earn profits from the use of power lines while balancing power deviations and better consuming renewable energy. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, ensuring stable power supply for net-zero power systems and providing benefits for both the ESP and prosumers.

The brushless doubly-fed induction generator (BDFIG) presents significant potential for application in wind power systems, primarily due to the elimination of slip rings and brushes. The application of virtual synchronous control (VSynC) has been demonstrated to effectively augment the inertia of BDFIG systems. However, the dynamic characteristics and stability of BDFIG under weak grid conditions remain largely unexplored. The critical stabilizing factors for BDFIG-based wind turbines (WTs) are methodically investigated, and an enhanced VSynC method based on linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) is proposed. The stability analysis reveals that the proposed method can virtually enhance the stability of the grid-connected system under weak grid conditions. The accuracy of the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed method are affirmed through extensive simulations and detailed experiments.
