ItemA New Adaptive Lead-Lag Control Scheme for High Current PEM Hydrogen Electrolyzers( 2023)This paper aims at researching the design of a current controller for an interleaved Buck converter used to feed a high current 5 kW Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer representing a module stack level. The main challenge is to design a robust controller that ensures operation over a wide range of electrolyzer operating points while guaranteeing control requirements and current sharing between the converters. The developed control scheme ensures responsiveness to the requirements of the grid's ancillary services and control over the dynamics of the electrolyzer. MATLAB/Simulink simulation results with dSPACE compatible models are presented to validate the lead-lag controller, designed using root locus, achieving a ripple current of 0.1 A, a 0.3% steady-state error, and a settling time of 50 ms for a step response.

ItemPV Inverter Fault Classification using Machine Learning and Clarke Transformation( 2023)In a photovoltaic power plant (PVPP), the DC-AC converter (inverter) is one of the components most prone to faults. Even though they are key equipment in such installations, their fault detection techniques are not as much explored as PV module-related issues, for instance. In that sense, this paper is motivated to find novel tools for detection focused on the inverter, employing machine learning (ML) algorithms trained using a hybrid dataset. The hybrid dataset is composed of real and synthetic data for fault-free and faulty conditions. A dataset is built based on fault-free data from the PVPP and faulty data generated by a digital twin (DT). The combination DT and ML is employed using a Clarke/space vector representation of the inverter electrical variables, thus resulting in a novel feature engineering method to extract the most relevant features that can properly represent the operating condition of the PVPP. The solution that was developed can classify multiple operation conditions of the inverter with high accuracy. © 2023 IEEE.

ItemEvaluation of the uncertainties used to perform flow security assessment: A real case study( 2019)In this paper, a validation framework is proposed to evaluate the quality of uncertainty forecasts, when used to perform branch flow security assessment. The consistency between probabilistic forecasts and observations and the sharpness of the uncertainty forecasts is verified with advanced metrics widely used in weather prediction. The evaluation is completed by assessing the added value of exploiting uncertainty forecasts over the TSO current practices of using deterministic forecasts. For electric power industry, this proposed validation framework provides a way to compare the performance among alternative uncertainty models, when used to perform security assessment in power systems. The quality of the proposed metrics is illustrated and validated on historical data of the French transmission system. © 2019 IEEE.

ItemAnalysis of consumer-centric market models in the Brazilian context( 2020)In recent years, the large deployment of distributed energy resources (DERs) in low voltage networks is changing the traditional approach to power systems. This massive change is pushing towards new solutions to improve energy trading in low voltage networks. Consumer-centric options, such as full peer-to-peer (P2P) and energy community markets (CM) are seen as viable options to increase the active participation of end-users in the electricity markets. This work studies the full P2P and CM market approaches applied to the actual regulatory framework in Brazil, evaluating and comparing both approaches to be potentially applied in Brazil. A case study based on a typical Brazilian neighborhood is designed, allowing to assess the behavior of consumers and prosumers in both markets. The results show the economic viability of both models, considering the social welfare and the penetration of distributed generation in the system. An important conclusion under the current regulatory framework is that the full P2P can have greater benefits over the CM, as long as the distributed generation is enough to confer near self-sufficiency to the peer's demand. © 2020 IEEE.
