    Nowadays, the proliferation of photovoltaic (PV) generators and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) into power distribution systems highly escalates. The variable PV power and the abrupt power charging of PHEVs result in system power and voltage fluctuations. This paper presents the new application of the superconducting coil (SC), which is connected between the dc link of PV generators to solve this problem. Using the dc-to-dc converter as an interfaced circuit, the SC can share the inverters with the PV generators. In addition, the PV generators with the common SC are able to provide the smooth power output and regulate the system voltage. The PV inverters and the dc-to-dc converter are controlled by the proportional-integral (PI) controllers. The optimization of the PI parameters and SC inductance is performed, so that the power and voltage fluctuations are minimized. Simulation results indicate that the PV generators with the common SC, which has a lower SC inductance, provide the same smoothing effect on the PV power fluctuation as the superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) installed at the PV terminal. In addition, they give the superior voltage regulation effect to the SMES.

    This paper proposes coordinated control of blade pitch angle of wind turbine generators and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) for load frequency control of microgrid using model predictive controls (MPCs). The MPC is an effective model-based predictive control, which calculates future control signals by optimization method using plant model, current, and past signals of the system. The MPC-based PHEVs' power control can be used to reduce frequency fluctuation of microgrid effectively. However, for large system, large number of PHEVs is needed to produce satisfying frequency deviation. In order to reduce the number of PHEVs, the smoothing of wind power production by pitch angle control using MPC method is proposed and is coordinated with PHEVs control in this paper. The simulation results confirm that the coordinated control of pitch angle and PHEVs using MPCs is able to reduce the number of PHEVs and the frequency fluctuation can be maintained significantly. In addition, the proposed method is robust to the system parameters variation over proportional-integral derivative controllers.

    This paper proposes plug-in hybrid electric vehicles bidirectional charging/discharging and state of charge (SoC) control for a microgrid frequency stabilization using a multiple model predictive control (MMPC). The MMPC is the improved version of a model predictive control (MPC) for working with multiple operating condition of the system. The MPC is an effective model-based prediction which calculates the future control signals by optimization of a quadratic programming based on the plant model, past manipulate, and control signals of the system. By optimization of an electric vehicle power control signal at each time instant, as well as changing the MPC by electric vehicle battery SoC, the proposed MMPC is able to improve the frequency stabilization of the microgrid effectively.
