The importance of integrating construction knowledge into the design process has long been
recognized by the construction industry. This paper studies early contractor involvement in …

This paper addresses the low-frequency relative stability problem in paralleled inverter-based
distributed generation (DG) units in microgrids. In the sense of the small-signal dynamics …

The optimal management of energy generation/consumption in modern distribution systems
has gained attention in the smart grid era. This paper presents optimized and coordinated …

Recently, the concept of microgrids (clusters of distributed generation, energy storage units,
and reactive power sources serving a cluster of distributed loads in grid-connected and …

This paper presents a robust hierarchical control system of distributed generation converters
for robust microgrid operation and seamless transfer between grid-connected and isolated …

A new formulation is required to provide a proper power flow analysis in islanded microgrids
taking into consideration their special philosophy of operation. In this paper, a novel and …

This paper introduces a robust current-control scheme for a permanent-magnet synchronous
motor (PMSM) with a simple adaptive disturbance observer. The robust controller is …

Pulse-width-modulated (PWM) voltage-source converters (VSCs) are gaining widespread
acceptance in modern power systems. It has been shown recently that full-scale high-power …

In this paper, an improved deadbeat current control scheme with a novel adaptive self-tuning
load model for a three-phase pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) voltage-source inverter is …

DC microgrids are gaining high momentum under the smart grid environment. DC microgrid
stability can be an issue under high penetration of tightly regulated power converters used …
