Residential dc microgrids and nanogrids are the emerging technology that is aimed to
promote the transition to energy-efficient buildings and provide simple, highly flexible …

Nanogrids for single consumers have gained importance based on the development of
standards for prosumers' electrical installations (PEIs) such as the IEC 60364 series. All …

The large-scale deployments of dc appliances and renewable generation have increased
industry and research interest in dc electrical distribution systems for homes, offices, and …

This paper compares the holdup time for different active-front end (AFE) dc grid-forming
converters. AFE converters are required to perform an interface between the utility ac grid …

Nowadays, it is well known that the energy system is going towards a clear and necessary
energy transition. New enabling technologies are needed to accelerate this transition, like …

This paper presents an adaptive virtual resistance (droop) control technique by using the
metaheuristic moth-flame optimization (MFO) technique to achieve near-optimal power and …

Two-stage isolated active front-end (i-AFE) converters, based on an ac-dc and isolated dc-
dc power stages, have gained significant research attention in the last few years due to …

Dual-active bridge (DAB) converters have gained significant attention in recent years, due to
their high efficiency and excellent performance in medium and high-power applications …

DC grid-forming converters are used to provide dc power distribution inside buildings. Often,
such converters are based on dual-active bridge (DAB) technology to provide high …

Using batteries and supercapacitors as hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) is
advantageous due to the flexibility between the high energy density of batteries and the high …
