Microgrids are composed of distributed energy resources (DERs), storage devices, electric vehicles, flexible loads and so on. They may either operate connected to the main electricity grid (on-grid operation) or separated from the grid (islanded operation). The outputs of the renewable energy sources may fluctuate and thus can cause deviations in the voltage magnitudes especially at islanded mode. This may affect the stability of the microgrids. This paper proposes an optimization model to efficiently manage controllable devices in microgrids aiming to minimize the voltage deviations both in on-grid and islanded operation modes. RSE Distributed Energy Resources Test Facility (DER-TF), which is a low voltage microgrid system in Italy, is used to verify the algorithm. The test system's data is taken through an online software system (REDIS) and a harmony search based optimization algorithm is applied to control the device parameters. The experimental results show that the harmony search based optimization approach successfully finds the control parameters, and can help the system to obtain a better voltage profile.

Spacecraft energy storage and attitude control Altay, A; Tekinalp, Ozan (2005-06-11) The energy storage and attitude control technologies in spacecrafts are considered. The conventional technologies like electrochemical batteries, reaction wheels and control moment gyroscopes are compared to the promising Integrated Power and Attitude Control System with Variable Speed Control Moment Gyros (IPACS-VSCMG) technology. For this purpose, various energy storage and attitude control system conceptual designs are carried out, and the results are compared. Also given a simulation to show the effecti...
Optimal design of synchronous reluctance machines Kiani, Morgan; Bostancı, Emine; Fahimi, Babak (2017-12-15) Electric machines are optimized to the extent of their magnetic configuration and manufacturability. Thanks to recent advances in development of composite material (SMC), 3-D printing, and programmable magnets, manufacturing capabilities have changed dramatically. Introducing of cloud computing and impressive computational resources has opened new opportunities in virtual prototyping in a multi-physics environment. These enabling technologies present a potential for a transformative approach in optimal desi...
OPTIMUM BIDDING STRATEGY FOR HYDRO, WIND AND SOLAR POWER PLANTS IN DAY AHEAD ELECTRICITY MARKET Özcan, Mehmet; Ozan, Keysan; Benhür, Satır; Department of Earth System Science (2021-9-08) The main challenge related to the trade of electricity from renewable energy sources is their intermittency due to stochastic nature of their generation output. This leads to the imbalance cost in day ahead markets (DAM) and raise the concerns for collaboration. There are 2 possible strategies for wind power plants (WPPs) and solar power plants (SPPs) to maximize their income in day ahead markets (DAM) in the presence of imbalance cost: Joint Bidding (JB) via collaboration by participating to balancing grou...
SWARM-based data delivery framework in the Ad Hoc Internet of Things Hasan, Mohammed Zaki; Al-Turjman, Fadi (2017-12-08) Internet of Things (IoTs) refers to the rapidly growing network of connected objects that are able to collect and exchange data using embedded sensors. To guarantee the connectivity among these objects and devices, fault tolerant routing has been received a significant attention in recent years. In this paper, we propose a bio-inspired particle multi-swarm optimization (PMSO) routing algorithm to construct, recover and select k-disjoint paths that tolerates the failure while satisfying quality of service (Q...
Efficiency Optimization of a Direct Torque Controlled Induction Motor used in Hybrid Electric Vehicles Sergaki, Eleftheria S.; Moustaizis, Stavros D. (2011-09-10) The main contribution of this paper is the application of Loss Minimization control algorithm of a three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor which is used in parallel with an internal combustion engine (ICE), in hybrid electric vehicles (HEY). During steady state operation of the electric motor, the electric motor's optimal motor flux profile minimizes the electric motor losses and maximizes the overall HEN efficiency, hybridization factor (HF). During steady state operation of the direct torque controlled ...
