Hybrid Networked Control for Microgrids

Project description

Solution for the safe DRES integration into power grids

The EU’s push for green energy, sustainable environmental development, and decarbonisation has driven the advancement of novel solutions and facilitated the efficient transition of many industries and sectors. However, challenges have arisen in several of these efforts, with the integration of distributed renewable energy sources (DRES) into power grids being one of the main issues. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the HNCM project will develop new models that offer improved interaction and stability with other electrical networks, providing a promising solution for the safe integration of DRES and overcoming current challenges in the stable operation of microgrids.

Objective

To promote the EU’s sustainable environmental development and decarbonization, increasing distributed renewable energy sources (DRESs) are desirable to be integrated into power grids. Microgrids, as one kind of promising means to integrate DRESs with power electronics technologies, have great potential in future power grids. However, due to the lack of physical inertia, the stable operation of power-electronics-dominated microgrids is suffering significant challenges. The HNCM project is proposed in the context of solving these challenges by providing some scientific foundations that enable the efficient operation of low-inertia microgrids, with particular focus on hybrid modeling, stability analysis, and control design. First, new hybrid models will be set up by incorporating physical properties of each distributed generator (DG) and their interactions with electrical networks. Then, new stability analysis criteria for general microgrids will be derived with the expected dynamic performance by designing electrical-parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions. Finally, flexible distributed robust control approaches will be developed under multi-agent architectures with time-varying interaction topologies among DGs.
