Grid-connected large-scale power converter-based intermittent renewable energy sources (RES) reduce system inertia, increase frequency fluctuation, and increase the rate of change of frequency (RoCoF). An energy storage system (ESS) is an indispensable component of a smart grid, and is used to overcome low-inertia problems. However, the capital and maintenance costs of ESS are high and high RoCoF events are less frequent in power systems. Therefore, the introduction of a virtual energy storage system (VESS) to provide the function of a conventional ESS for power system ancillary services is an innovative and cost-effective method. This study investigated a VESS using photovoltaic (PV) generators and inverter air conditioners (IACs) to provide virtual inertia and frequency regulation for a low-inertia microgrid. A model predictive control (MPC)-based VESS regulates indoor temperature, microgrid frequency, and RoCoF. The impact of parameter variation, that is, the microgrid frequency weight, indoor temperature weight, virtual inertia gain, and number of IACs, was studied and selected by considering the ability of the parameters to provide virtual inertia and frequency regulation. Finally, the efficiency and robustness of the proposed MPC-based VESS technique are compared with those of a conventional VESS. Simulation results revealed that the proposed MPC-based VESS can improve the virtual inertia, reduce the frequency deviation, and reduce the RoCoF of the studied microgrid. In addition, the proposed method is robust to variations in the system parameters.

This paper proposes an adaptive output power control of superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) to solve the output power fluctuation problem of the grid connected hybrid permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) wind and photovoltaic generations (HWPV). By the power control of SMES, the adaptive output power reference is employed to achieve the desired output power of the HWPV while the variation of SMES coil current is regulated between the minimum and maximum limits. Study result shows that the proposed adaptive power control of SMES is able to alleviate the HWPV output power fluctuation, and maintain the SMES coil current in the acceptable range effectively.

The distributed control of a microgrid is fully dependent on advanced information and communication technologies that are sensitive to cyber-physical systems. Cyberattacks, such as denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, can cause unstable operation of low-inertia microgrids. This paper proposes enhanced microgrid virtual inertia control under DoS attacks using an improved resilient model predictive control (IRMPC)-based virtual energy storage system (VESS). IRMPC comprises an attack detector, an autoregressive (AR)-based signal estimator, and an MPC-based VESS controller. An attack detector was used to detect the DoS attacks. An AR-based signal estimator is then used to estimate the feedback data that are subjected to DoS attacks. The firefly algorithm was used to optimize the AR parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed IRMPC was compared with that of conventional model predictive control, conventional model predictive control-based VESS, and resilient model predictive control-based VESS. The simulation results revealed that under a DoS attack, the proposed IRMPC can successfully improve the microgrid virtual inertia emulation. Additionally, the proposed IRMPC has a performance effect over the compared techniques in terms of the reduction in RoCoF deviation and frequency deviation during normal situations, DoS attacks, and disconnection of wind turbine generation. The simulation results also confirmed that IRMPC is robust to microgrid parameter variations when compared to the other methods.

Two-Stage Optimization Based on SOC Control of SMES Installed in Hybrid Wind/PV System for Stabilizing Voltage and Power Fluctuations

This paper proposes the two-stage optimization of superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) integrated into hybrid wind/photovoltaic (PV) generators considering the state of charge (SOC) control for stabilizing voltage and power fluctuations. The first stage aims to achieve the minimal coil inductance of SMES that guarantees the stored energy for system stabilization. In the second stage, the control parameters of SMES are optimized to keep the SOC at the desired level. As a result, the minimum coil inductance with sufficient stored energy of SMES for stabilizing system and regulating SOC at the target value can be obtained for entire period of operation. Study results in the distribution system with various loads ensure that the hybrid wind/PV with optimized internal SMES yields superior stabilizing performance in comparison with the SMES externally installed at the wind/PV terminal.

In this study, the unconventional microfabrication method by the combined processes of the chemical soft stamping technique with the thermal uplifting technique to fabricate metal nanoarrays on a glass plate is proposed and their feasibility verified. The gold micro-ring arrays on a quartz glass plate are realized by utilizing a chemical template with the thermal uplifting method. Their optical properties are studied experimentally. First, a plastic mold is made of a Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate (BOPET) via the hot embossing method. Then, the Methanal micropatterns are transferred onto an etched surface of a substrate via a soft stamping process with a BOPET mold. The gold thin film is coated onto the methanol patterned glass plate via the Ar+ sputter coating process. Finally, the metallic micro-ring structures are aggregated on a glass plate via the thermal uplifting technique. The LSPR optical properties as the extinction spectrums of the gold micro-ring structure arrays are investigated experimentally. It is confirmed that this method was able to fabricate plasmonic micro-ring arrays with low cost and high throughput.

Multi-objective decentralized model predictive control for inverter air conditioner control of indoor temperature and frequency stabilization in microgrid

Microgrid (MG) is a novel concept for a future distribution power system that enables renewable energy sources (RES). The intermittent RES, such as wind turbines and photovoltaic gen-erators, can be connected to the MG via a power electronics inverter. However, the inverter inter-faced RESs reduce the total inertia and damping properties of the traditional MG. Consequently, the system exhibits steeper frequency nadir and the rate of change of frequency (RoCoF), which may degrade the dynamic performance and cause the severe frequency fluctuation of the system. Smart loads such as inverter air conditioners (IACs) tend to be used for ancillary services in power systems. The power consumption of IACs can be regulated to suppress frequency fluctuation. Nevertheless, these IACs, regulating power, can cause the deviation of indoor temperature from the temperature setting. The variation in indoor temperature should be controlled to fulfill residential comfort. This paper proposes a multi-objective decentralized model predictive control (DMPC) for controlling the power consumption of IACs to reduce MG frequency fluctuation and control the variation in indoor temperature. Simulation results on the studied microgrid with the high penetration of wind and photovoltaic generator demonstrate that the proposed DMPC is able to regulate frequency deviation and control indoor temperature deviation as a user preference. In addition, the DMPC has a superior performance effect to the proportional-integral (PI) controller in terms of reducing frequency deviation, satisfying indoor temperature preferences, and being robust to the varying num-bers of IACs.
