This paper proposes a direct power control (DPC) for a high-voltage direct-current system using voltage source converters (VSC-HVDC) by applying passivity-based control theory. This system allows doing an efficient and ...

This paper proposes a logarithmic transformation of voltages (LTVM) for the power flow in DC grids. This problem is non-linear due to the presence of constant power loads (CPLs), which also introduce a negative resistance ...

This paper presents the modeling and control of a small hydro-power plant (SHP) for a DC microgrid based on passivity theory. The SHP is made up of a turbine, a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), a voltage ...

This report addresses the problem of optimal location and sizing of constant power sources (distributed generators (DGs)) in direct current (DC) networks for improving network performance in terms of voltage profiles and ...

This paper addresses the analysis the optimal power flow (OPF) problem in alternating current (AC) radial distribution networks by using a new metaheuristic optimization technique known as a sine-cosine algorithm (SCA). ...

This paper presents a method to find the optimal location, selection, and operation of energy storage systems (ESS- batteries-) and capacitors banks (CB) in distribution systems (DS). A mixed-integer non-linear programming ...

This paper addresses the voltage regulation problem on isolated three-phase microgrids via passivity-based control (PBC) with a proportional regulator under the abc reference frame. This reference frame is employed to ...

In this paper, we address the optimal power flow problem in dc grids (OPF-DC). Our approach is based on sequential quadratic programming which solves the problem associated with non-convexity of the model. We propose two ...

This paper addresses the problem of control design for hydro-turbine governing systems with surge tanks from the perspective of standard passivity-based control. The dynamic model of a synchronous machine is considered in ...

In this paper an indirect interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based control (IDA-PBC) applied to the three-phase superconducting magnetic energy storage systems (SMES) is proposed to support active and reactive ...
