Abstract


The deployment of distributed generation into the existing passive distribution networks is reaching a critical point whereby it can no longer be installed in the typical “fit and forget” fashion without influencing network operation and stability. The operating practice of distribution networks will need to change from a passive to an active role. In this context, in the paper a power management control strategy with grid-ancillary services for a novel configuration of a microgrid, defined by the authors as a Smart User Network, characterized by different types of micro-sources and storage systems interconnected by a common DC bus, is proposed. Several numerical results have been performed using a model of Smart User Network implemented in Matlab/Simulink environment and the most significant ones are illustrated and discussed.
