“…Among the very common energy resources within the roadmaps, it is evident that both wind and solar photovoltaics are hopeful technologies for the purposes of energy transition [43]. Among the systematic methodological developments carried out by different authors, it stands out that most of the studies were designed with specialized software such as EnergyPLAN [44], LUT [45], LEAP [46], Message [47], or MATPLAN [48], among others [49].…”

There is no doubt that the transition towards renewable energies is generating many changes on different continents, some with greater impacts than others, but the development that has occurred is recognized and widely accepted. The progress has been significant but it is necessary to analyze the roadmaps that have been proposed so far at the island level so that decision makers have sufficient tools to commit the much-needed economic resources to transform their energy systems into 100% renewable ones. These approaches are not simple and the hard work of the authors who have disseminated their research is recognized. The roadmaps are planned based on the energy potential available in the territories and the future energy demand. Within countries, it is important to increase the economic resources to allocate to investments in environmentally friendly renewable energies. In this review of 100% renewable smart systems on islands, the situation of the American continent, its challenges and its long-term approaches in the different geographical areas facing 2050 are analyzed. This article shows that research into the design of 100% renewable energy systems in scientific articles is fairly new but has gained more and more attention in recent years. In total, 175 articles published since 2002 were identified and analyzed. Many of these articles have a predominant focus on the electricity sector. As a general result, it has been determined that although there has been significant progress towards an orderly energy transition, this has not been consistent with the international agreements signed since the Paris Summit, which is a real challenge in complying with the new commitment of the COP28 of Dubai in tripling the participation of renewables.

“…With the large-scale intermittent renewable energy integrating into the smart grids, electrical engineers and researchers have heighten their level of concentration to power quality problem (Chen et al, 2020;Xiao et al, 2021;Hu et al, 2022a;Hu et al, 2022b). Power quality can be defined as the supply of adequately high-grade electrical utility services to the consumer/customer.…”

This paper explores new design methods for correcting unbalanced power distribution networks in order to improve the power quality and reliability for sensitive industrial loads. While traditional compensators typically need to be connected to all the three phases of the AC network, this paper proposes a novel three-phase voltage balancing compensator that can operate with a connection to only two of the three phases. The new concept is based on the phasor symmetrical component theory, which can be implemented using either mechanically switched reactors (MSRs), TCRs (thyristor-controlled reactors) or VSCs (Voltage source converters). Three methods are presented to calculate the value of the proposed two-phase compensator, i.e., discrete solution, analytical solution and novel simplified solution. The discrete solution is solved via the exhaustive search method, which was successfully used by StruthersTech to correct the power quality of an unbalanced industrial power system. The analytical solution is based on the nodal voltage of analysis method. The simplified solution derives a practical albeit approximated relationship between the negative sequence source voltage and zero sequence load voltage, thus avoiding the need to solve nonlinear equations. Dynamic simulations are implemented using MATLAB/Simulink Simscape Blockset to validate the effectiveness of the proposed two-phase voltage balancing method.

“…In recent years, there has been a steady transition of energy from traditional fossil fuel sources toward renewable energy, typified by the use of wind power. In contrast to fossil energy sources such as coal and oil, wind energy is clean, low-carbon, and sustainable, making it an effective way to resolve the conflict between energy depletion and socioeconomic growth (Chen et al, 2020;Hu et al, 2022a;Hu et al, 2022b). Offshore wind energy is growing in popularity as a source of renewable energy compared to onshore wind energy because of the vast sea area, high and consistent wind speed, high utilization rate, and minimum environmental impact (Beiter et al, 2017;Xiao et al, 2021).…”

Multi-terminal high voltage DC (MTDC) network is an effective technology to integrate large-scale offshore wind energy sources into conventional AC grids and improve the stability and flexibility of the power system. In this paper, firstly, an analytical model of a general applicable MTDC system integrated with several isolated AC grids is established. Then, an improved AC-DC power flow algorithm is used to eliminate the additional DC slack bus or droop bus iteration (SBI/DBI) step of the conventional AC-DC sequential power flow. A multi-objective optimal power flow (MOPF) algorithm is proposed to minimize two optimization targets, i.e., overall active power loss and generation costs of the system. To increase the degree of freedom, adaptive droop control is used in the proposed optimization algorithm in which the voltage references and droop coefficients of the modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are control variables. A multiple objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) method is applied to solve the MOPF problem and achieve the Pareto front. A technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is incorporated in the decision analysis section and helps the decision maker to identify the best compromise solution.
