Assessing the Operation of Typical Dutch Distribution Systems with Large Penetration of Low-Carbon Energy Technologies

Currently, the majority of the available test feeder models are based on the North American type of distribution systems, leaving an absence of representative feeder models for the European (and Dutch) types of distribution systems. Therefore, a standardized set of power flow models for typical Dutch LV distribution networks is developed using...

Exploiting Ripple20 to Compromise Power Grid Cyber Security and Impact System Operations

Driven by power grid digitalisation, tighter coupling between the cyber and physical layers has introduced cyber security threats. This paper elucidates the emergence and possible consequences of recently identified Information Technology (IT) / Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) vulnerabilities, i.e., Ripple20, and the threats it poses to...

Voltage Source Converter Control under Distorted Grid Voltage for Hybrid AC-DC Distribution Links

Back-To-Back (B2B) Voltage Source Converter (VSC) with AC-side LCL filters can be adopted for parallel AC-DC distribution links. In this paper, Grid-side Current Control (GCC) for the inner/fast control loops of the front- and backend power electronics are implemented in order to enhance the system performance against grid disturbances. Herein,...
