A Comprehensive Assessment of the Short-Term Uncertainty of Grid-Connected PV Systems

Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Fabrizio Sossan, Enrica Scolari

One of the key aspects enabling the bulk integration of photovoltaic (PV) resources into the power grid is the short-term prediction of the maximum available power (from 100 ms to 5 minutes), and the quantification of the associated uncertainties. This is ...

Robust Real-Time Control of Power Grids in the Presence of Communication Network Non-Idealities

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Wajeb Saab, Roman Rudnik

Deploying a power grid controller in the field makes it susceptible to message losses caused by the inherent uncertainties and non-idealities of communication networks, especially when the control action is taken at a sub-second time-scale. We consider a c ...

Slack Selection for Unintentional Islanding: Practical Validation in a Benchmark Microgrid

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Wajeb Saab, Andreas Martin Kettner, Roman Rudnik

Upon an intentional or emergency disconnection from the main grid, a microgrid is expected to continue working in islanded mode. Thus, (at least) one resource needs to act as slack and compensate for power variations to keep the power balance, and ensure t ...
