Optimized Energy Management System for Wind Lens-Enhanced PMSG Utilizing Zeta Converter and Advanced MPPT Control Strategies

This paper presents the design and analysis of an efficient energy management system for a wind lens integrated with a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) and a zeta converter. The wind lens, a ring-shaped structure encircling the rotor, enhances the turbine’s capability to capture wind energy by increasing the wind influx through the turbine. In the contemporary wind energy sector, PMSGs are extensively employed due to their superior performance characteristics. This study integrates a 1 kW PMSG system with a wind lens to optimize power extraction from the wind energy conversion system (WECS) under varying wind speeds. A comparative analysis of different control strategies for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is conducted, including the incremental conductance (INC) method and the perturb and observe (P&O) method. The performance of the MPPT controller integrated with the wind lens-based PMSG system is assessed based on output DC voltage and power delivered to the load. To evaluate the overall effectiveness of these control strategies, both steady-state voltage and dynamic response under diverse wind conditions are examined. The system is modeled and simulated using the MATLAB R2023a/Simulink 9.1 software, and the simulation results are validated to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed energy management system.

An economic-environmental energy management system design for MT-HVDC networks via a semi-definite programming approximation with robust analysis

This research deals with the economic-environmental dispatch problem (EEDP) in multi-terminal high-voltage direct-current (MT-HVDC) systems by proposing a convex approximation based on semi-definite programming (SDP). The exact formulation of the EEDP corresponds to a non-convex, nonlinear programming problem due to the presence of a nonlinear quadratic constraint regarding the products between voltage variables. The thermal plants' economic and objective functions are modeled using typical quadratic functions. The SDP approach allows reaching a convex approximation that ensures the global optimal solution for each objective function independently or the construction of the optimal Pareto front via the weighting-factor optimization methodology. The proposed SDP approach also considers uncertainties in the demand and in the available power of renewable sources, which makes it robust. The main contribution of this research is a multi-period analysis that includes large-scale renewable generation sources and a robust analysis regarding demand and variations in renewable generation. Numerical results in two MT-HVDC systems demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SDP approach when compared to combinatorial optimization algorithms. All numerical simulations were carried out using the CVX convex disciplined tool, with the help of the SEDUMI and SDPT solvers, in the MATLAB programming environment.

An SDP relaxation in the complex domain for the efficient coordination of BESS and DGs in single-phase distribution grids while considering reactive power capabilities

This research proposes an efficient energy management system design for medium-voltage distribution networks from a perspective of convex optimization. The exact nonlinear programming problem that represents the operation of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as batteries and photovoltaic sources, is approximated as an equivalent semi-definite programming (SDP) problem. This SDP approximation is achieved in the complex domain using Hermitian matrices, which are the equivalent of positive semi-definite matrices in the real number domain. Two test feeders, one with 27 nodes and the other with 33 nodes, are modified to match the characteristics of Colombian rural and urban networks. The 27-bus grid is adapted to accommodate the average demand and solar generation conditions of the municipality of Capurganá, while those of the city of Medellín are used for the 33-bus grid. One of the main contributions of this research is that it considers a DER operation with variable power factors, which allows for significant improvements compared to the traditional use of a unitary power factor scheme. Numerical comparisons are conducted using metaheuristic optimizers, including parallel versions of the particle swarm optimizer, the vortex search algorithm, and the continuous version of the genetic algorithm. These comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SDP approximation. All simulations are carried out in the MATLAB software (version 2022b), using the disciplined convex optimizer (CVX) and the SDPT3 and SEDUMI solvers.

A Robust Conic Programming Approximation to Design an EMS in Monopolar DC Networks with a High Penetration of PV Plants

This research addresses the problem regarding the efficient operation of photovoltaic (PV) plants in monopolar direct current (DC) distribution networks from a perspective of convex optimization. PV plant operation is formulated as a nonlinear programming (NLP) problem while considering two single-objective functions: the minimization of the expected daily energy losses and the reduction in the expected CO2 emissions at the terminals of conventional generation systems. The NLP model that represents the energy management system (EMS) design is transformed into a convex optimization problem via the second-order cone equivalent of the product between two positive variables. The main contribution of this research is that it considers the uncertain nature of solar generation and expected demand curves through robust convex optimization. Numerical results in the monopolar DC version of the IEEE 33-bus grid demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed second-order cone programming model in defining an EMS for a monopolar DC distribution network. A comparative analysis with four different combinatorial optimizers is carried out, i.e., multiverse optimization (MVO), the salp swarm algorithm (SSA), the particle swarm optimizer (PSO), and the crow search algorithm (CSA). All this is achieved while including an iterative convex method (ICM). This analysis shows that the proposed robust model can find the global optimum for two single-objective functions. The daily energy losses are reduced by 44.0082% with respect to the benchmark case, while the CO2 emissions (kg) are reduced by 27.3771%. As for the inclusion of uncertainties, during daily operation, the energy losses increase by 22.8157%, 0.2023%, and 23.7893% with respect to the benchmark case when considering demand uncertainty, PV generation uncertainty, and both. Similarly, CO2 emissions increase by 11.1854%, 0.9102%, and 12.1198% with regard to the benchmark case. All simulations were carried out using the Mosek solver in the Yalmip tool of the MATLAB software.

Methodology for energy management strategies design based on predictive control techniques for smart grids

This article focuses on the development of a general energy management system (EMS) design methodology using on model-based predictive control (MPC) for the control and management of microgrids. Different MPC-based EMS for microgrids have been defined in the literature; however, there is a lack of generality in the proposed that would facilitate adapting to new architectures, energy storage system technology, nature of the bus, application, or purpose. To fill this gap, a novel general formulation that is parameterizable, simple, easily interpretable, and reproducible in different microgrid architectures is presented. This is the result of the development of a novel methodology, which is also presented. It considers the state space formulation of the controller from the initial modelling phase, from the dynamics of the energy storage systems represented by their models to the subsequent definition of the optimisation problem. This is developed through the design of the general cost function and the formulation of constrains, by means of general guidelines and reference values. To evaluate the performance of the developed methodology, simulation tests were carried out for four different microgrid architectures, with different applications and objectives, also considering different generation conditions, demand profiles, and initial conditions. The results showed that, with some simple guidelines and regardless of the case study, the developed MPC controller design methodology can address the technical-economic optimisation problem associated with energy management in microgrids in an easy and intuitive way.
