Optimal use of distributed energy resources in microgrids
(2018)
Distributed generation has important advantages that must be exploited. In order to maximize the benefits, distributed energy resources (DERs) must be managed and controlled properly, especially to minimize power fluctuations ...
Viabilidad de la independencia de la red en áreas residenciales de puerto rico
(2010)
La situación energética es uno de los problemas más dialogados y controversiales a nivel mundial. La gran dependencia de los combustibles fósiles y todas las repercusiones que los mismos traen como consecuencia en nuestra ...
Impact of distributed generation on unbalanced power systems
(2009)
The interconnection of Distributed Generation (DG) units to a utility grid changes the configuration of traditional distribution networks. Today, DG has been one of the key driving forces in the evolution of distribution ...
Comparative framework for service reliability in electric distribution systems
(2005)
Reliability indices are becoming the cornerstone for a liberalized energy market, and the main component of performance based rates (PBRs). Yet, comparison of reliability indices from intrinsically different systems provides ...
Power quality issues and feasibility study in a dc residential renewable energy system
(2008)
This research work aims to study power quality issues and the feasibility of a DC residence. The evaluated residence is in the area of Mayaguez, PR. Feasibility studies includes the design of a hybrid power system to supply ...
Evaluation of photovoltaic distributed generation on the voltage profile of distribution feeders
(2011)
Distributed Generation (DG) is the term given to electric power generation systems of limited capacity operating in parallel with distribution circuits. Interest in DG has increased recently due to diverse factors. The ...
Photovoltaic based distributed generation as a demand response strategy in puerto rico
(2009)
The generation potential of grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) is examined along with the environmental benefits associated with introducing this technology in Puerto Rico. It is found that PV technology could potentially displace ...
Renewable‐driven microgrids in isolated communities
(2009)
This thesis presents design and planning methods for the development of microgrids in remote communities using renewable energy resources. The analysis is not only limited to the economic point of view, but also covers the ...
Voltage regulation and reactive power services from rooftop photovoltaic systems for distributed generation rates
(2017-05)
La red eléctrica es una parte fundamental del desarrollo socioeconómico de un país. Hoy en día, el sector eléctrico enfrenta desafíos importantes debido a mayor uso de fuentes de energía renovables. La generación distribuida ...
Towards a zero net energy community microgrid
(2017)
Decentralization of the vertically integrated electrical power system can bring economic, reliability and environmental benefits to society. Microgrids are a step towards a more hybrid, less centralized power industry. A ...
