Using voltage data down to the consumer level is essential for grid optimisation and operational flexibility in the new era of intermittent generation and fast-changing user demand. Power grids were ...

Bring-Your-Own-Generation (BYOG) is emerging as a practical solution for power-hungry facilities that can’t wait on grid upgrades. Success hinges on a unified control architecture that coordinates div ...

The distribution system, a key subset of the overall electric grid, provides power to residential, commercial and industrial customers. Voltage and reactive power management and control have been done ...

Deep integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation in power distribution systems may cause voltage stability issues. The resultant voltage fluctuations can over-stress legacy voltage regulation ...

As the power factor changes, the measured line voltage moves toward the desired voltage level thus forming a closed-loop voltage control system. The utility can also change the required settings ...

Ameren Transmission Co. LLC has energized the first two of four innovative upgrades to ensure its grid remains stable during the utility’s transition to clean energy sources. Known as static ...

A coordinated control framework stabilizes power grids with high renewable penetration by managing distributed storage units in real time.

Editor's note: I thought this might be a thought-provoking white paper for Power Engineers in our audience. It's quite in-depth but will surely lead to some excellent insights into controlability and ...

It would be a masterpiece of understatement to suggest that control loop compensation holds much significance in power converter design. This is true in part because of increasing demand for ...

Suspended ceilings in commercial buildings have grown in purpose and importance over the past few decades. At one time, they provided a grid for installing fluorescent troffers and created an overhead ...
