• Ant colony optimization and analysis of time step resolution in transmission expansion computations for wind power integration 

      Fuchs, Ida; Gjengedal, Terje (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2011)
      This paper investigates the necessary time step resolution in a transmission expansion planning algorithm based on ant colony optimization. A maximal and efficient wind power integration is the main motivation for the grid expansion, which requires a planning tool dealing with wind energy fluctuations. For the analysis a power system model for the Nordic area is used, including a wind power ...
    • Bio‐inspired hybrid BFOA‐PSO algorithm‐based reactive power controller in a standalone wind‐diesel power system 

      Wagle, Raju; Sharma, Pawan; Charu, Sharma; Gjengedal, Terje; PRADHAN, CHITTARANJAN (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-05)
      With an increase in the penetration of renewable energy sources such as wind into the power systems, the operation and control of voltage/reactive power have become more complicated and challenging than ever. As a result, the reactive power imbalance between reactive power generation and demand instigates a reduction in system voltage stability. To deal with the aforesaid scenarios, automatic voltage ...
    • Coordinated Power Management and Control of Standalone PV-Hybrid System with Modified IWO-Based MPPT 

      Pradhan, Chittaranjan; Senapati, Manoj Kumar; Malla, Siva Ganesh; Nayak, Paresh Kumar; Gjengedal, Terje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-14)
      To augment the photovoltaic (PV) power generation conversion, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique plays a very significant role. This article introduces a hybrid MPPT algorithm integrating modified invasive weed optimization (MIWO) and perturb and observe (P&O) technique under the rapid weather change and partial shading scenarios for the efficient extraction of the maximum power from ...
    • Digitalization of the power business: How to make this work? 

      Svendsen, Arne Brufladt; Tollefsen, Trond; Gjengedal, Terje; Goodwin, Morten; Antonsen, Stian (Peer reviewed; Bokkapittel; Book; Bok; Chapter, 2018)
      As a result of the digitalization of the power business in Norway and Europa, a lot of new possibilities and challenges arise. In 2014 an expert committee one outlined a proposal for the future grid company structure in Norway (Reiten, 2014). In addition, new technologies are being implemented in the system. Wind power, solar power, un-regulated small hydro power production, battery storage domestic ...
    • Modified demagnetisation control strategy for low-voltage ride-through enhancement in DFIG-based wind systems 

      Senapati, Manoj Kumar; Nayak, Paresh Kumar; Padmanaban, Sanjeevikumar; Gjengedal, Terje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-16)
      The large-scale wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) based on doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) are very popular in recent years due to the numerous technical and economic benefits. With the increasing penetration level of wind energy, the latest grid codes require the DFIG-based WECSs to remain connected to the grid under grid fault scenarios and deliver the required reactive power into ...
