This work deals with the modeling, control and experimental validation of a flywheel test bench which is part of IREC’s lab-scale microgrid. The storage device has been designed as a proof of concept. It is based on a ...

Lightning is considered one of the main causes of faults in overhead distribution networks. Direct strokes usually lead to flashovers due to the insulation levels that are used. Induced overvoltages caused by indirect ...

Reconfiguration, by exchanging the functional links between the elements of the system, represents one of the most important measures which can improve the operational performance of a distribution system. The authors ...

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have seen significant growth in sales recently and it is not clear how power systems will support the charging of a great number of vehicles. This paper proposes a methodology which allows the ...

Flexibility has emerged as an optimal solution to the increasing uncertainty in power systems produced by the continuous development and penetration of distributed generation based on renewable energy. Many studies have ...

This paper reviews the renewable energy systems emulators proposals for microgrid laboratory testing platforms. Four emulation conceptual levels are identified based on the literature analysis performed. Each of these ...

En una sociedad eléctricamente dependiente como la del siglo XXI, la calidad de suministro eléctrico tiene repercusiones en negocios y procesos productivos, además de afectar a las actividades domésticas. Limitar el impacto ...

El creciente incremento de los costes fijos y variables de la factura eléctrica está haciendo que se considere imprescindible supervisar y controlar cómo se consume para asegurar la máxima eficiencia en su uso y conseguir ...

The analysis of the conducted electromagnetic disturbances propagation is a complex issue, involving detection and analysis of electromagnetic disturbances, modelling of power grids’ elements, and study of the influenceon ...
