The increasing penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and, more in general, of converter connected power generation is progressively reducing the overall inertia of the electricity system introducing new challenges in the network Frequency Support (FS). Therefore, FS strategies for RES are becoming an important aspect to be developed in...

This paper proposes an innovative control technique for the primary regulation of an islanded microgrid (MG) composed only by power converters and without any rotating electrical machine. The proposed method is based on the Model Predictive Control (MPC) technique and it is applied to an islanded portion of the Smart Polygeneration Microgrid...

Microgrids (MGs) interest is growing very fast due to the environment urgency and their capability to integrate renewable energy in a flexible way. In particular, islanded MGs in which distributed energy resources (DERs) are connected to the infrastructure with power electronic converters have attracted the interest of many researchers of both...

The increased integration of wind generation via high power converters imposses numerous gauntlet to the management and control of modern power systems. One of them is caused by the decoupling effect between the power sources from the AC grid. It negatively impacts the system frequency response of modern power systems. This paper proposes a...

The goal of nuclear fusion is one of the most important challenges in contemporary research and technological development. Its achievability will completely change the energy scenario and reduce the dependence on fossil fuels in the production of electricity. ITER project is focusing the efforts of many countries and researchers in the...
