Electronic-smart meters are increasingly installed in electricity networks of many countries.
In several cases, their operation in parallel with photovoltaic inverters and other power …

Power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) simulation allows the connection of a physical power
component (eg, photovoltaic inverter) to a real-time simulated network. In this paper, PHIL …

This article presents to the scientific community technical and management issues taken into
account for the implementation of the Micro Grid Laboratory, which will be part of “Balzay” …

Independently run single microgrids (MGs) encounter difficulties with inadequate self-
consumption of local renewable energy and frequent power exchange with the grid …

This paper addresses the problem of management and coordination of energy resources in
a typical microgrid, including smart buildings as flexible loads, energy storages and …

Microgrids can operate either interconnected to the utility grid or disconnected forming an
island. The transition between these modes can cause transient overcurrents or power …

The increased penetration of intermittent distributed generation in distribution grids causes
occasional voltage variations. The ICT infrastructure can provide the appropriate means for …

This paper presents a hybrid AC/DC microgrid testbed which uses a mixture of emulators
and industrial hardware to model a real-world environment for renewable energy systems at …

The European Climate Change Program consists of a range of measures to fight against
climate change, one of which is to reach 20% of renewable energy in the total energy supply …

The high penetration of photovoltaic systems in low voltage distribution networks can cause
power quality problems due to the increased level of harmonics. In this paper an overview of …
