This paper presents a novel approach to control a three-phase four-leg voltage source converter for grid-forming operation.

The paper proposes the Power System Hardware-in-the-Loop (PSHIL) concept as an holistic testing approach for smart grid technologies, precisely sets out the PSHIL architecture including respective components and provides three application examples from the University of Sevilla.

The paper describes a control strategy for grid-forming voltage source converter able to compensate harmonics and imbalances of the voltages at the point of common coupling.

This work presents a hierarchical control strategy to improve the stability of electrical networks with significant converter-interfaced generation (CIG).

This review investigates the existing ASs in transmission system with the respective markets (emphasizing the DRESs’ participation in these markets) and proposes new ASs at distribution grid level, with emphasis to inertial response, active power ramp rate control, frequency response, voltage regulation, fault contribution and harmonic mitigation.

In this study, we provide a work-in-progress insight related to the profiling of real network data and energy generation measurements gathered by a local wind turbine at Lancaster University.

In this work, a two-stage approach is introduced to efficiently solve the optimal voltage regulation problem in radial medium-voltage (MV) distribution networks.

The increasing penetration of photovoltaic (PV) systems in distribution networks often causes overvoltage problems. One solution to address this issue is the provision of reactive power (RP) by the PV converters.

The main objective of this paper is the effective voltage regulation in radial medium-voltage (MV) distribution networks with high distributed generation (DG) penetration, ensuring near-minimum active power losses. For this purpose, a new control strategy with low computational complexity is proposed.
