Reinforcement learning-enhanced three-layer hybrid BESS-hydrogen storage in renewable microgrids with adaptive reliability thresholds and degradation awareness

In low-carbon microgrids, hybrid battery-hydrogen storage is crucial for managing renewable energy variability. However, current optimization techniques overlook battery degradation and rely on static reliability standards that fail to adapt to changing system conditions. This pa...

Variable reactive power compensators versus fixed and switchable capacitor banks in providing ancillary services considering voltage fluctuations

Voltage fluctuations across distribution network buses can significantly influence both load consumption patterns and the reactive power output of compensation devices. To address these effects, strategic placement of reactive power support equipment is essential. While prior res...

A new fractional-order cascade controller structure for frequency regulation of interconnected renewable-dominant power systems

Abstract Ensuring reliable frequency regulation in contemporary multi-area interconnected power systems has become increasingly demanding due to changes in consumption patterns, the massive integration of intermittent renewable energy sources (RESs), the integration of distribute...
