The higher penetration of intermittent and volatile Distributed Renewable Energy Sources (DRES) in distribution grids is gradually replacing the bulk synchronous generators (SGs) of the transmission system, resulting in poor reaction after a grid event. Conventionally, in order to ensure the stable and safe operation of the electrical grid, the...

The increased penetration of Converter-Interfaced Distributed Renewable Energy Sources (CI-DRES) has posed power quality challenges into the distribution system. In the future CI-DRES may have the responsibility to cope simultaneously with several issues. One function that has already been presented in the literature, but has not yet been...

The high penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) interfaced with power electronics together with new nonlinear loads pose new challenges in the grid operation. In fact, power systems with reduced inertia and high harmonic distortion will be common in a near future. Recently, the grid-forming operation of voltage source converters (VSCs)...

The proliferation of Converter-Interfaced Renewable Energy Sources (CIRES), which are inertia-less, and the gradual decommissioning of synchronous generation have posed several challenges to the electric power system. This has motivated a complete a shift in the CIRES design and its corresponding control philosophy. Integrating Energy Storage...

The increased penetration of Distributed Renewable Energy Sources (DRES) has posed several challenges into the electric power systems, the most important of which is the instability caused by the intermittent and stochastic nature of the primary sources (wind, sun). Since the System Operators have started to specify limits for the restriction...

The gradual displacement of synchronous generators driven by conventional power plants, due to the increasing penetration of distributed renewable energy sources (DRES) in distribution grids, is creating a shortage of crucial ancillary services (AS) which are vital for the frequency and voltage stability of the grid. These AS, and some new...

The high proliferation of converter-dominated Distributed Renewable Energy Sources (DRESs) at the distribution grid level has gradually replaced the conventional synchronous generators (SGs) of the transmission system, resulting in emerging stability and security challenges. The inherent characteristics of the SGs are currently used for...

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources is strongly linked to the development of voltage source converters used in their connection to the grid. As a result, in the near future of an inverter-dominated power system it will be a requirement for renewable generation to provide ancillary services in order to compensate for the...

The ever-growing penetration of Converter-Interfaced Renewable Energy Sources (CI-RES) and the gradual decommission of synchronous generators (SGs) are posing several challenges to guarantee the stability and robustness of the electric power system. A possible solution to overcome the foreseen problems is to enable the provision of ancillary...
