Mahesh Illindala, Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ohio State University, USA, will hold a guest lecture entitled "Modeling of distributed energy and its constraints" at IITH from June 9. 30 a. m.
For the micro-grid with distributed energy (DERs)
According to the news released here on Wednesday, its viability is facing major challenges.
In particular, the sudden loss of power generation capacity or large fluctuations in load may force the microgrid to operate near the capacity limit.
This can cause a hybrid cascade to crash
Even if the load demand is within the rated power range of the system, it is possible to source the microgrid.
This was observed in several tests conducted by the Electrical Reliability Technology Solutions Alliance (CERTS)
Micro-grid test bench.
The work analyzed the root causes behind the collapse.
It emphasizes a low capacity.
The inertial system that supports load changes was originally contributed by a faster response program.
Therefore, if the controller with faster response does not have enough reserve space, the microgrid is particularly vulnerable.
Two control methods were evaluated to provide safeguards for these controllers and to prevent system crashes. Dr.
