This paper presents a case study for Ulster University (UU) campus using NEPLAN Electricity simulation software to study the potential of providing flexibility to the distribution network. Three simulation scenarios were done by adding battery energy storage (BES) to the campus, adding a third wind turbine, and finally adding storage with a third wind turbine. The simulation results show that adding a third turbine without BES will not have that extra benefit to the UU, and a BES should be considered to get the benefit from excess generation from the wind turbine. UU campus ability to manage to cover its load from renewables and BES will allow to reduce the total network demand and solve congestions that may happen from load increasing in the network.

This paper focuses on the regulation of pole-to-pole voltage in 3-Pole PV Based DC Microgrid (3-PPDM). This type of microgrid is conceived to mimic in dc microgrid, the operational feature of grid-connected three-phase ac microgrid where no transformer is required at distribution level for the provision of different voltage levels (phase and line) operation within the ac microgrid. 3-PPDM is developed with PV Based DC Microgrid connected to ac grid via single stage dc link and 3-Level Voltage Source Converter (3L-VSC). Operation of distributed flexible dc loads at lower voltage level on the dc link without dc-dc converters cause voltage imbalance among poles. This imbalance violates the technical constraints for desirable operation of both the 3L-VSC and distributed dc loads. Distributional effects of this violation are reduction in dc link voltage and grid parameters (voltage and current) qualities. Consequently, distributed Pulse Width Modulation (d-PWM) based algorithm was developed together with a 2-in-1 Tank Circuit (TC) to regulate this imbalance under slowly/rapidly varying irradiance by bringing the voltage differential among poles nearly to zero. The simulation results obtained under rectification and inversion operational mode of 3L-VSC show marginal improvement in dc link voltage and grid current qualities at reduced operational cost.

The worldwide fast pace at which wind power generation technology and its drive train is growing has increased the demand for wind farm connection into the power grid. The UK target of increasing wind energy contribution coupled with the excellent wind profile has led to growing demand for distribution and transmission connection points. The main obstacle hindering large scale of integration of the wind energy is the thermal capacity limits of the existing transmission lines infra structure. Thermal capacity computation techniques are based on heat balance equation stipulated in IEEE 738. This paper analyses the heat balance equation and proposes the addition of new variable to the set of heat balance equations, discusses the economic aspects of dynamic line ratings. The main objective of this paper is to mathematically integrate the effect of precipitation rate into the heat balance equation, based on empirical study conducted.

Power production via traditional generators play a major role to meet demand, however, the trend is shifting towards utilization of distributed renewable sources. Distributed Energy Resources (DER) becomes a means to support loads locally. As DERs are typically intermittent sources, there are challenges associated with the high level of penetration of these resources that are of concern to grid operators. There are also opportunities associated with this technology as the inverters connecting the DERs could support voltage regulation by performing reactive power compensation in the grid.The concept of utilizing droop controlled DERs as reactive power resources is explored in this paper. As the active power production fluctuates with solar insolation, the spare capacity of the inverters could be employed to provide effective reactive power compensation to support the grid.In this paper, Power Hardware in the Loop (PHIL) simulation was employed where a single-phase PV inverter hardware is operated in parallel with three other real-time simulated inverters to deliver ancillary services. The results have shown that the switching steps of the On-Load Tap changer transformer (OLTC) were reduced, thus improving overall system performance.

The growing popularity of Electric Vehicles (EV) as an alternative to fossil-fuel-driven vehicles has immense environmental appeal. Considering the effects on distribution networks, which were not designed to support such loads, several challenges are bound to be encountered in a future with purely EVs. One of such technical challenges is the effect of charging several EVs at the same time on distribution network voltage. While coordinated charging is one solution, reactive power compensation can be used to support voltage at the point of connection without the need for a centralised control. This paper explores the feasibility of using installed photovoltaic (PV) inverters as voltage compensation devices in Low Voltage (LV) distribution networks. A reactive power controller was developed in Simulink for PV inverters. The case study of a UK LV network for the winter season was used to investigate the feasibility. Results using a cumulative under-voltage index (CUVi) developed to quantify the contributions of the PV inverter reactive power compensation to network voltage support shows that for up to 30% EV penetration, the available PV capacity alone can completely eliminate under-voltage incidents.

This paper presents enhanced coordination between TSOs and DSOs with regard to market related information and data infrastructures that can be developed using a cloud-based approach. The definition of use cases with regard to the levels of portal access is proposed and particular attention is given to the different time and space scales of data that is needed to provide harmonised access. The attributes of the information layer as defined in the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) are reflected in the formally defined use cases. Different access levels are demonstrated via the definition of use cases for a trusted cloud platform by considering harmonised access processes and role-based access control for security.

A Solid State device which can limit and interrupt a fault, apply power factor correction and voltage regulation under normal conditions is presented with an investigation of its efficiency. The losses of the switching semiconductors are investigated by employing the PSIM Thermal Module. This work closely investigates the phase shift between the current and voltage waveforms for a 50Hz system and switching frequency of 5kHz before modelling and calculating the IGBT losses. For DC/DC converters the associated currents and voltages are in phase. However, as this work shows for switched capacitor circuits there is a 90° phase shift between current and voltage. Finally, calculated losses are compared to simulated losses as well as to other methodologies suggested in literature.

the transition of passive distribution network towards being active network results in many operation challenges. Voltage control is one of these challenges. This paper has studied the effectiveness of four voltage controlling techniques in a real 132/33/11kV distribution network from Oman which are on-load tap changer control, energy storages installation, transformer tap staggering and power curtailment control. The network has been stressed by large penetration of solar photovoltaic and wind farm power plants. Each techniques have performed differently in maintaining the voltages profile within the statutory limits ±6%. The lowest effectiveness level is the power curtailment, and that is due to the high X/R ratio, as the studied network constitute of overhead lines more than cable lines. Regarding losses reduction effects, energy storage was the highest efficient method whereas the transformer tap staggering control was the lowest efficient method. Moreover, Quasi Dynamic simulation method was used for variable load modeling which has increased the opportunity of large DGs accommodation compared to the static load simulation.
