    • Intelligent load frequency control in an isolated wind-solar PV-micro turbine-diesel based micro-grid using V2G integration 

      Addisu, Wondwosen Eshetu (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-06-12)
      Abstract Modern power systems need more intelligence and flexibility to maintain and control a generation load balance from subsequent serious disturbances due to the emerging of more renewable energy sources. This problem is becoming more significant today because of the increasing number of micro-grids (MGs). MGs usually use renewable energies in electrical production those fluctuate naturally. ...

      In this thesis, the designing of a grid-connected photovoltaic system for the power electronic laboratory of UiT- Campus Narvik has been carried out. The relevant topics and literature regarding the elements in a photovoltaic system and grid connection standards have been studied and reviewed. A system with the capacity and ratings of solar modules currently available has been designed in Simulink. ...

    • Electric vehicles and vehicle-to-grid technology. How utilities can play a role 

      Tahir, Moez (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-06-12)
      Adverse effects of fossil fuel burning internal combustion engine vehicles has alarmed nations worldwide. With recent technological advancements in electric vehicle industry, governments throughout the world are promoting wider adoption of electric vehicles to mitigate environmental issues. However, increasing popularity of electric vehicles will pose a great threat to existing electric grids due ...

    • FPGA-based data acquisition system for GNSS receiver for LEO-satellites applications 

      Siboniyo, Didier (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-06-12)
      The modern Low Earth Orbit satellites (LEO-satellites) technology is highly complex and reliable than it was yesterday. Nowadays, the LEO-satellites applications extend from civilian to military applications. However, LEO-satellites require a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) service, to achieve various tasks which require positioning and localizing. The challenge is to have a GNSS receiver ...

    • FPGA-based tracking system for GNSS receivers 

      Manandhar, Anil (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-06-12)
      This report presents the design and simulation of code and carrier tracking system for a GNSS receiver. The GNSS receiver processes the signal sent by satellites in space. These signal contain carrier wave signal, ranging code and navigation data in encrypted form. To demodulate the navigation data, the processing block should accurately track the phase of incoming code and the frequency of incoming ...

    • Stabilitet i 22kV distribusjonsnett 

      Skogvoll, Petter (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-18)
      De senere årene har det vært en økning i utbygging av små produksjonsenheter i distribusjonsnettet. I dag benyttes distribusjonsnettet i hovedsak til å fordele kraft fra overliggende nett. En tilknytning av ny produksjon i slike nett vil medføre utfordringer for netteier når det gjelder spenningskvalitet og leveringssikkerhet og krever ofte oppgraderinger for å kunne opprettholde stabil og sikker ...

    • Optimal placement of PMUs considering logical topology of communication medium power system observability 

      Nikumbh, Bhushan Madan (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-11-07)
      A phasor measurement unit (PMU) has a unique ability of providing synchronized phasor measurements of voltage and currents. This ability distinguishes it from all other metering devices. It has been perceived that PMUs hold the capability of revolutionizing the way of power system monitoring and control. However, high per unit cost and challenges related to its communication system has made ...

    • Communication in microgrids and virtual power plants

    • Solar panel tracking control. Tracking the variations caused due to reflection from snow and other factors 

      Pandey, Saroj (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-11-07)
      This report presents the design and simulations of a dual-axis solar tracker. This solar tracker works solely based on the output power of the PV panel mounted to it. It does not use any photosensors to orient the PV module. Describing the process in short, the position of the Sun is first calculated based on time and location information. Since this solar panel will be mounted here at UiT, ...
