Power Systems - Hybrid AC/DC Distribution grids
[Closed]
Work description
- Survey of the state of the art regarding dynamic and steady-state analysis of AC/DC hybrid distribution networks and microgrids; - Survey of the state of the art regarding protection, islanding operation, and service restoration in AC/DC hybrid distribution networks and microgrids; - Identification of use cases for hybrid AC/DC distribution networks and assessment of the technical challenges in the addressed aspects that are still unresolved according to the current state of the art; - Development of innovative technical and scientific solutions to address the challenges identified for the use cases from the previous point, using computational simulation; - Contribute to the development of toolboxes for computational simulation, specifically designed for DC networks, considering widely used software in academia and system operators, such as Matlab, PSCAD, PSSE, and DIgSILENT PowerFactory; - Contribute to the writing of project deliverables, where the developed work should be reported.
