      Wagle, Raju; Pham, Le Nam Hai; Tricarico, Gioacchino; Sharma, Pawan; Rueda, Jose Luis; Gonzalez-Longatt, Francisco (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-30)
      The increasing integration of distributed energy resources such as photovoltaic (PV) systems into distribution networks introduces intermittent and variable power, leading to high voltage fluctuations. High PV integration can also result in increased terminal voltage of the network during periods of high PV generation and low load consumption. These problems can be solved by optimal utilization ...
    • Concise Definition of the Overcurrent Protection System for CIGRE European Medium Voltage Benchmark Network 

      Pham, Le Nam Hai; Wagle, Raju; Gonzalez-Longatt, Francisco (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-03-28)
      In the significant widespread transition towards clean energies, there has been an unstoppable trend in integrating renewable energy sources (RSs) in distribution networks. However, the massive penetration of integrated multisources into conventional distribution systems may create several operational problems, such as malfunctioning protection systems. This paper concisely defines the setting for ...
    • Experiences in a Cyber-Physical Co-Simulation Testbed Development for a Smart-er Distribution Network 

      Wagle, Raju; Pham, Le Nam Hai; Tricarico, Gioacchino; Sharma, Pawan; Rueda, Jose Luis; Gonzalez-Longatt, Francisco (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-03-28)
      With the rise of the integration of renewable energy sources, the operating characteristics of existing electric power distribution systems are evolving and changing. As a result, the digitalisation of the distribution network is gaining attention for effective real-time monitoring and control. Cyber-Physical cosimulation is one of the options for implementing and testing novel concepts and ideas ...
    • Non-directional Overcurrent Protection Relay Testing Using Virtual Hardware-in-the-Loop Device 

      Pham, Le Nam Hai; Wagle, Raju; Gonzalez-Longatt, Francisco; Acosta Montalvo, Martha Nohemi (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-05-17)
      Protective relays are an integral part of the power grid, making it reliable and secure against abnormal conditions. Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) can be employed to test and validate digital protective relay devices in the real-time simulation comprising hardware and software before actual implementation. However, the HIL technique requires a complex and high-cost technical environment consisting of ...
