The increasing proportion of renewable energy introduces both long-term and short-term uncertainty to power systems, which restricts the implementation of energy management systems (EMSs) with high dependency on accurate prediction techniques. A hierarchical online EMS (HEMS) is proposed in this paper to economically operate the Hybrid hydrogen–electricity Storage System (HSS) in a residential microgrid (RMG). The HEMS dispatches an electrolyzer-fuel cell-based hydrogen energy storage (ES) unit for seasonal energy shifting and an on-site battery stack for daily energy allocation against the uncertainty from the renewable energy source (RES) and demand side. The online decision-making of the proposed HEMS is realized through two parallel fuzzy logic (FL)-based controllers which are decoupled by different operating frequencies. An original local energy estimation model (LEEM) is specifically designed for the decision process of FL controllers to comprehensively evaluate the system status and quantify the electricity price expectation for the HEMS. The proposed HEMS is independent of RES prediction or load forecasting, and gives the optimal operation for HSS in separated resolutions: the hydrogen ES unit is dispatched hourly and the battery is operated every minute. The performance of the proposed method is verified by numerical experiments fed by real-world datasets. The superiority of the HEMS in expense-saving manner is validated through comparison with PSO-based day-ahead optimization methods, fuzzy logic EMS, and rule-based online EMS. ...

It is challenging to determine the active filter control factors in wind power plants (WPP) to obtain effective harmonic voltage mitigation and avoid over-modulation or system instability problems caused by overlarge feedforward or feedback gains. To address this issue, an active filter tuning (AFT) method is proposed in this paper to offer a common parameter tuning and stability assessment strategy for both current-controlled and voltage-controlled harmonic impedance reshaping (HIR) methods by introducing a coordination factor including different weight coefficients for system stability margin, wind turbine (WT) harmonic suppression, and grid harmonic mitigation. The superiority of the proposed method is verified in a 20 MW WPP with four cases considering both WT harmonic voltage amplification and grid voltage amplification. Compared to previous methods, the AFT-based HIR method achieves a more flexible balance between system stability and harmonic voltage mitigation, obtaining better performance in WT harmonic suppression, grid harmonic suppression, system robustness, and transient response. ...

A fuzzy logic based online energy management system (FLEMS) is designed in this paper to achieve the optimal electricity cost in a residential Microgrid (MG). The proposed FLEMS is combined by a local energy price model (LEPM) and a fuzzy-logic strategy. The LEPM will preprocess the sampling data to estimate the electricity market and local MG status. The fuzzy-logic mimics the artificial intelligent assessment to economic issues and make decision for the charging and discharging operation for energy storage system (ESS). In the FLEMS, not only electricity price and supply-demand balance, but also ESS state of charge are considered for the efficient and stable operations. The proposed method does not relay on the accurate prediction of renewable energy source and local loads. Historical experience of the system is involved by the LEPM and guides the ESS operation in the fuzzy-logic. A real-world data based household-level residential MG model is established to validate the performance of the FLEMS. A hourly-resolution-Particle swarm optimization (PSO) with perfect day-ahead prediction is implemented as the baseline to verify the superiority of the proposed method. ...
