Addressing voltage sag contribution of an optimally sized Industrial Hybrid Power System: Using a multi-objective sizing framework considering cost and CO2 emission

This thesis titled "Addressing voltage sag contribution of an optimally sized Industrial Hybrid Power System" introduces a framework for sizing an industrial Hybrid Power System (HPS) to minimise Cost and CO2 emissions relative to connecting the industrial site directly to the grid with the help of a genetic algorithm, specifically NSGA-II. The...

Distributed Control of Battery Energy Storage Systems for Voltage Support in PV-Rich Low-Voltage Distribution Network

As demand for clean and renewable energy around the world increases, solar photovoltaic (PV) technology becomes substantially popular, especially in low-voltage (LV) distribution networks. However, the integration of PV in LV distribution networks requires careful planning as it introduces voltage violations. To maintain network voltage,...
