Microgrids Overview

主讲人 : Claudio Canizares教授

ABSTRACT: There is nowadays a rapid development and deployment of microgrids in the context of smart and resilient power networks, in good part motivated by the need to integrate distributed generation, especially if powered by renewable resources such as wind and solar, to reduce operational costs and the environmental impact of these grids, particularly for diesel-depended isolated microgrids. The presentation will provide a general overview of microgrids and the research work being carried out by Prof. Canizares’ group at the University of Waterloo on the area, including a summary of a survey carried out by the group on remote microgrids in Canada, and several practical examples focusing on dispatch, control, stability, and optimal planning.  In particular, the following subjects will be discussed in some detail: Energy Management Systems (EMS) considering renewable power uncertainty;  voltage and frequency control including electrical and thermal energy storage for microgrids with high penetration of variable renewable power;  stability definitions, modeling, simulation, and analysis;  optimal placement and sizing of renewable power equipment for minimization of costs and diesel use, considering secure system operation;  and dc microgrid EMS and power flows.
