Ersdal, A. M. (author), Gonzalez-Longatt, F. (author), Acosta, M. N. (author), Rueda, José L. (author), Palensky, P. (author)Modern power systems are increasing the connection of power electronic converters (PECs), and new inertia-less technologies displace the synchronous generation units. Therefore, the total rotational system inertia is reduced, creating new problems related to the system frequency control and stability. Several mechanisms to enable the PECs with...conference paper 2020

Kilic, H. (author), Khaki, Behnam (author), Gumus, Bilal (author), Yilmaz, Musa (author), Palensky, P. (author)In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems in the power grids. Although PV systems provide the grid with clean and renewable energy, their unsafe and inefficient operation can affect the grid reliability. Early stage fault detection plays a crucial role in reducing the operation and...conference paper 2020

Gusain, D. (author), Cvetkovic, M. (author), Bentvelsen, Ron (author), Palensky, P. (author)To counter the inherent intermittent and unpre dictable power generation from large amounts of wind and solar, fast-acting resources are required, one of the options being sector coupling via power to gas devices. Industrial Power to Gas (IPtG) resources, such as an electrolyzer, represent an attractive solution to satisfy the rising energy...conference paper 2020
