Multiport converter evaluation for high penetration of renewable generation in distribution grids

Electrical power distribution systems are experiencing a deep penetration of renewable energy integration, which is reversing the power flow during some periods and modifying their conventional operation. In this context, the curtailment of renewable distributed generation is needed to consider the...

description Electrical power distribution systems are experiencing a deep penetration of renewable energy integration, which is reversing the power flow during some periods and modifying their conventional operation.

Multiport converters with energy storage stand as a potential solution for enhancing power flow operation in the distribution system and minimising renewable generation curtailments.
