Application of Neural-Like P Systems With State Values for Power Coordination of Photovoltaic/Battery Microgrids
The power coordination control of a photovoltaic/battery microgrid is performed with a novel
bio-computing model within the framework of membrane computing. First, a neural-like P system with
state values (SVNPS) is proposed for describing complex logical relationships between different modes
of Photovoltaic (PV) units and energy storage units. After comparing the objects in the neurons with the
thresholds, state values will be obtained to determine the con guration of the SVNPS. Considering the
characteristics of PV/battery microgrids, an operation control strategy based on bus voltages of the point of
common coupling and charging/discharging statuses of batteries is proposed. At rst, the SVNPS is used to
construct the complicated unit working modes; each unit of the microgrid can adjust the operation modes
automatically. After that, the output power of each unit is reasonably coordinated to ensure the operation
stability of the microgrid. Finally, a PV/battery microgrid, including two PV units, one storage unit, and
some loads are taken into consideration, and experimental results show the feasibility and effectiveness of
the proposed control strategy and the SVNPS-based power coordination control models
Resilience-oriented control and communication framework for cyber-physical microgrids
Climate change drives the energy supply transition from traditional fossil fuel-based power generation to renewable energy resources. This transition has been widely recognised as one of the most significant developing pathways promoting the decarbonisation process toward a zero-carbon and sustainable society. Rapidly developing renewables gradually dominate energy systems and promote the current energy supply system towards decentralisation and digitisation.
The manifestation of decentralisation is at massive dispatchable energy resources, while the digitisation features strong cohesion and coherence between electrical power technologies and information and communication technologies (ICT).
Massive dispatchable physical devices and cyber components are interdependent and coupled tightly as a cyber-physical energy supply system, while this cyber-physical energy supply system currently faces an increase of extreme weather (e.g., earthquake, flooding) and cyber-contingencies (e.g., cyberattacks) in the frequency, intensity, and duration. Hence, one major challenge is to find an appropriate cyber-physical solution to accommodate increasing renewables while enhancing power supply resilience.
The main focus of this thesis is to blend centralised and decentralised frameworks to propose a collaboratively centralised-and-decentralised resilient control framework for energy systems i.e., networked microgrids (MGs) that can operate optimally in the normal condition while can mitigate simultaneous cyber-physical contingencies in the extreme condition. To achieve this, we investigate the concept of "cyber-physical resilience" including four phases, namely prevention/upgrade, resistance, adaption/mitigation, and recovery. Throughout these stages, we tackle different cyber-physical challenges under the concept of microgrid ranging from a centralised-to-decentralised transitional control framework coping with cyber-physical out of service, a cyber-resilient distributed control methodology for networked MGs, a UAV assisted post-contingency cyber-physical service restoration, to a fast-convergent distributed dynamic state estimation algorithm for a class of interconnected systems.Open Acces
