Control Techniques for DC-DC Converter
Control technique design for DC-DC converter has become an interesting research area as it deals with an approach that can effectively be utilized for DC-DC conversions. The DC-DC converter is a nonlinear and time-variant system that has to be subjected to some controlling technique for efficient operation.
AC and DC Microgrid Control and Protection
An interconnected network designed with the view of distributing the electric power to consumers is generally termed as Power grid/Electric grid. A microgrid is a subsystem in the modern power grid which is designed to deal with electric energy requirements. In microgrid technology, the primary challenge is to define a protection scheme for both AC and DC microgrids. The possibility of research on microgrid protection is widely open dealing with self-healing, smart protection and so on.
Optimization of Microgrid
Operations
Microgrid, a subsystem of the power grid, usually employed close to customers is integrated with different distributed energy resources [DER]. Different models on microgrid are designed in recent times with the view of improving the power utility. Optimization of costs of fuel, operation and maintenance, emission and start-up costs were considered in any microgrid for effective performance, and hence the scope of research is unceasingly high.
Research on Renewable Power Generation
Due to the rising demand of energy requirements in recent years, renewable energy resources like solar, wind, biomass, and hydro energy are highly utilized. As the demand increases in stand-alone mode, the usage of single technology seems to be irrelevant due to lower performance. This has led to the development of hybrid renewable energy system concept for resolving the limitation where research scope has increased widely.
