Energy availability is a growing concern of the 21st century worldwide and generating this energy should not affect the envinment and its inhabitants negatively. The modern energy transmission and distribution system became more interesting with the advent of smart grid and integrating renewable energy sources into the grid creates a challenging problem of managing harmonics. To effectively integrate renewable energy as well as minimizing harmonics content in the power system smart grid importance was highlighted, with value of harmonic current content measured by the total harmonic distortion (THD) based on electrical system rated current value. This thesis is aimed towards reviewing the available techniques in reducing the harmonic distortions for effective and efficient transmission of renewable energy in smart grid integration. The use of an improved control strategy was proposed which significantly improves the effectiveness of harmonic elimination in smart grid systems. The two-level and there-level inverters in solar integration to the smart grid were studied, thereby presented a controlled hydrid filtering technique that implemented three-level inverter, that provides effective means of harmonics elimination. There was significant improvement of over twenty percent in the use of three-level inverter against two-level, even with the about 25% reduction in cost, the two-level inverter losses over forty percent of power as compared to three-level. With tens of thousands of grid connected inverters globally, the cost of three-level ineverter will achieved over 15% lower cost compared with the two-level topology in just a year. Matlab/Simulink software was use to simulate the model using passive, active and hybrid filter with and without control and the hybrid method with control showed the lowest THD value, which was within acceptable limits.

Smart grid applications and technologies in distribution systems Pehlivanoğlu Gürbüz, Kübra; Sevaioğlu, Osman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Smart grid control purposes to rise the percentage of energy production through alternative energy sources like renewable resources and to make consumers to be comprehended in grid actively, is realising importance day by day. Further to that it can help us employment opportunities and improving growth in addition to keep the power on at minimum cost to prosumers, while the participation is elucidated and enabled new products, service and markets, accommodating all generation and storage options and provide...
Energy efficiency perspectives of femtocells in internet of things: recent advances and challenges Al-Turjman, Fadi M.; Imran, Muhammad; Bakhsh, Sheikh Tahir (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017) Energy efficiency is a growing concern in every aspect of the technology. Apart from maintaining profitability, energy efficiency means a decrease in the overall environmental effects, which is a serious concern in today's world. Using a femtocell in Internet of Things (IoT) can boost energy efficiency. To illustrate, femtocells can be used in smart homes, which is a subpart of the smart grid, as a communication mechanism in order to manage energy efficiency. Moreover, femtocells can be used in many IoT app...
Newton-raphson based load flow analysis of AC/DC distribution systems with distributed generation Kaya, Ferhat Emre; Güven, Ali Nezih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Increasing concerns about climate change and global pollution rates emphasized the importance of renewable energy resources. Rising pressure to utilize green energy alternatives requires some changes and rearrangements on the available alternative current (AC) oriented electric power system. Moreover, electric charging stations, renewable and distributed electricity sources like battery storage systems, solar power plants use direct current (DC) and additional power conversion is needed for their integratio...
Seismic performance evaluation of roller compacted concrete gravity dams by pseudo dynamic testing Aldemir, Alper; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) The energy demands throughout the world have reached a level that could create irreversible impacts on the environment unless an overall energy policy to reduce the energy production relying on fossil fuels is implemented. The apparent effects of global warming enforced countries to take precautions and to set limits on the fossil fuel consumption. Thus, the renewable energy sources like hydropower, solar energy, biomass, etc. have, nowadays, been encouraged to generate electricity. Certainly, dams are exce...
Feasibility Study of a Grid Connected Hybrid PV-Wind Power Plant in Gwanda, Zimbabwe Samu, Remember; Fahrioglu, Murat; Taylan, Onur (2016-10-14) The depletion of fossil fuel resources on worldwide basis has necessitated an urgent search for alternative energy sources to meet up the present day demands. Energy demand is growing in developing nations which makes a hybrid power system, consisting of a hybrid Solar Photovoltaic together with wind energy to be considered one of the best alternatives in renewable energy. These sources of energy can partially or fully meet Gwanda's demand with little or no disturbance on the country's stability. The object...
