Electricity is the greatest gift of science to humanity reached for civilization where electricity is used for all purposes. However, in recent times a paradigm shift is evolving in the generation of electrical energy from the concept of using major generating plants to minor generating units allied to the distribution systems in the form of microgrids with alternative energy sources called renewables. Around the world renewable energy use is on the rise and these alternate energy sources can generate pollution-free electrical energy to the society. Although these are new centers and units with diminishing cost, there are still many challenges in operation and control of islanded and grid-connected microgrids configured in both AC and DC. Uniting the benefits of microgrids of AC and DC, Hybrid AC-DC Microgrids (HACDC) were developed.Thus, it is relatively imperative to investigate the optimal size, stability control, and strategies of economic efficiency operation of HACDC microgrid. Hence a great review on optimal sizing methods, stability control, and energy management strategies using various iterative and intelligence techniques published in different articles proposed by many authors were presented in this paper.

“…One of the key points for integrating DERs into microgrids is the design of a control architecture that coordinates each one of the DER units. Traditionally, the control tasks are carried out by means of a three level hierarchical structure [27][28][29][30][31], i.e., primary, secondary and tertiary control. The Field Level (Primary Control) is implemented in local DER.…”

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) overlay communications networks have emerged as a new paradigm for implementing distributed services in microgrids due to their potential benefits: they are robust, scalable, fault-tolerant, and they can route messages even when a large number of nodes are frequently entering or leaving the network. However, current P2P systems have been mainly developed for file sharing or cycle sharing applications where the processes of searching and managing resources are not optimized. Locality algorithms have gained a lot of attention due to their potential to provide an optimized path to groups with similar interests for routing messages in order to achieve better network performance. This paper develops a fully functional decentralized communication architecture with a new P2P locality algorithm and a specific protocol for monitoring and control of microgrids. Experimental results show that the proposed locality algorithm reduces the number of lookup messages and the lookup delay time. Moreover, the proposed communication architecture heavily depends of the lookup used algorithm as well as the placement of the communication layers within the architecture. Experimental results will show that the proposed techniques meet the network requirements of smart microgrids, even with a large number of nodes on stream.

“…The main concern with migrating the complete electrical infrastructure in buildings to DC is that the convention is a 230 V 50 Hz or 110 V 60 Hz AC mains and many devices are simply not designed to operate on another electric power source. In the near future, we will be seeing more and more cases in which both AC and typically a low-voltage DC distribution system work side-by-side [29][30][31]. Complete DC homes and offices are already being prototyped and could also become commonplace in the quest to optimize efficiencies [32,33].…”

DC Grids for Smart LED-Based Lighting: The EDISON Solution

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper highlights the benefits and possible drawbacks of a DC-based lighting infrastructure for powering Light Emitting Diode (LED)-lamps. It also evaluates the efforts needed for integrating the so called smart lighting and other sensor/actuator based control systems, and compares existing and emerging solutions. It reviews and discusses published work in this field with special focus on the intelligent DC-based infrastructure named EDISON that is primarily dedicated to lighting, but is applicable to building automation in general. The EDISON "PowerLAN" consists of a DC-based infrastructure that offers telecommunication abilities and can be applied to lighting retrofitting scenarios for buildings. Its infrastructure allows simple and efficient powering of DC-oriented devices like LED lamps, sensors and microcontrollers, while offering a wired communication channel. This paper motivates the design choices for organizing DC lighting grids and their associated communication possibilities. It also shows how the EDISON based smart lighting solution is evolving today to include new communication technologies and to further integrate other parts of building management solutions through the OneM2M (Machine to Machine) service bus.
