Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The environmental concern due to carbon footprint emissions, the depletion of fossil fuel resources, the gradual increase in load demand, transmission losses, and the substantial burden on the electric power grid during peak load hours are prompting us to use renewable energy sources (RESs). The integration of RESs with the utility grid requires power electronics-based converters and their appropriate control algorithms. Recently, the automobile industry has also been exploring solutions to reduce carbon footprints by introducing electric vehicles (EVs). The power requirement of EVs can be attained by introducing more RESs into the grid. However, huge penetrations of RESs, electric vehicles, and other nonlinear loads in the utility grid cause severe stability, reliability, and power quality issues, which need to be addressed.

This Special Issue is dedicated to investigating the converters, control, and impact of RESs and EV integration into the electric power grid. Original research papers that emphasize recent advancements on converter topologies, control techniques, multifunctional control of grid- connected converters, impacts of RESs and EVs penetration on the electric power system and power quality in the context of grid integration of RESs and EVs are welcome. Original research on the design, analysis, and impact of RESs integrated EV charging stations are also invited. Review papers and studies that distinctly include recent advancements and detailed comparisons of RESs’ and EVs’ grid integration are welcome.

Integrating renewable energy through inverter-based generators has decreased the power system’s inertia. Reduced inertia may lead to frequency instability during power imbalance disturbances, particularly in an isolated power system with limited inertia. The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and a virtual inertia (VI) emulation control system have become popular to mitigate this issue. Nonetheless, the BESS utilization for VI emulation is highly dependent on the availability of BESS capacity, which may affect the energy cost. Therefore, developing a VI emulation control strategy that requires less energy and can recover the state of charge (SoC) to a desired level to optimize BESS utilization is required. This paper proposes a VI control with an SoC recovery strategy through coordination with the generators’ secondary frequency control. Instead of relying on the frequency, such as in the conventional approach, the controlled signal of the generators’ secondary frequency control also includes the VI power and BESS SoC. Hence, the generators can contribute to lowering the VI required energy and recovering the BESS SoC. The results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional method by requiring around 36% lower energy and the ability to maintain the BESS SoC. Full article

A unified active power control scheme is devised for the grid-integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator-based wind power system (WPS) to follow the Indian electricity grid code requirements. The objective of this paper is to propose control schemes to ensure the continuous integration of WPS into the grid even during a higher percentage of voltage dip. In this context, primarily a constructive reactive power reference is formulated to raise and equalize the point of common coupling (PCC) potential during symmetrical and asymmetrical faults, respectively. A simple active power reference is also proposed to inject a consistent percentage of generated power even during faults without violating system ratings. Eventually, the efficacy of the proposed scheme is demonstrated in terms of PCC voltage enhancement, DC-link potential, grid real, and reactive power oscillation minimization using the PSCAD/ EMTDC software.
