New connection constraints for the power network (grid codes) require more flexible and reliable systems, with robust solutions to cope with uncertainties and intermittence from renewable energy sources (renewables), such as photovoltaic (PV) arrays. The interconnection of such renewables with storage systems through a direct current (DC) MicroGrid can fulfill these requirements. A “Plug and Play” approach based on the “System of Systems” philosophy using distributed control methodologies is developed in this paper. This approach allows to interconnect a number of elements to a DC MicroGrid as power sources, such as PV arrays, storage systems in different time scales, such as batteries and supercapacitors, and loads, such as electric vehicles and the main ac grid. The proposed scheme can easily be scalable to a much larger number of elements.

Pedro AlouA nonlinear control able to perform voltage and power stability in Direct Current (DC) MicroGrids for an efficient renewable energy integration that is capable of providing frequency support to an Alternate Current (AC) grid is introduced in this work. A generic DC MicroGrid modeling is developed, and the introduced controllers are shown to ensure grid stability, both by a theoretical analysis with a formal proof of stability using Lyapunov techniques, than by simulations performed in MATLAB. A comparison with classical Proportional Integral (PI) control techniques is described to show the performance improvements.

A low-level distributed nonlinear controller for a DC MicroGrid integrated in a Smart Railway Station capable to recover trains' braking energy is introduced in this paper. The DC MicroGrid is composed by a number of elements: two different types of renewable energy sources (regenerative braking energy recovery from the trains and photovoltaic panels), two kinds of storages acting at different time scales (a battery and a supercapacitor), a DC load representing an aggregation of all loads in the MicroGrid, and the connection with the main AC grid. The nonlinear model of the MicroGrid is introduced, and a complete stability analysis is investigated to the purpose to meet power balance and grid voltage stability requirements. An Input-to-State Stability (ISS)-like Lyapunov function is obtained with a System-of-Systems approach, and it is utilized to develop the control laws for the converters in order to fulfill the dedicated objective each of them has. Simulation results, showing the desired grid behavior using the proposed nonlinear control laws, are introduced and compared with classical Proportional Integral (PI) linear controllers, with respect to performances and parametric robustness. The DC MicroGrid is shown to be able to operate braking energy recovery while performing load feeding and renewable energy integration and guaranteeing a proper DC voltage profile.

About Me
Gilney Damm received a bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering and an M.Sc. degree in automatic control from COPPE–Rio de Janeiro Federal University, Brazil, in 1995 and 1997, respectively, as well as a Ph.D in 2001 in the control of power systems and the integration of renewable energy sources. He also received a Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches degree from Paris-Saclay University, Paris, France, in 2010. He was an Associate Professor with Paris-Saclay University from 2002 to 2020, and since 2020 he has been a Senior Research Scientist (Directeur de Recherche) at University Gustave Eiffel. His main research activities are connected to the Institutes for Energy Transition SuperGrid (on large-scale high-voltage electrical grids), Efficacity (on MicroGrids and power grids in SmartCities), and Vedecom (electric vehicles). His current research interests include nonlinear and adaptive control and observers applied to power systems: SmartGrids, SuperGrid, and MicroGrids. His main applications are in the field of large-scale renewable energy integration, multi-terminal HVDC systems, mixed AC/DC MicroGrids, control of power generators (transient stabilization, frequency, and voltage stability), synchronization of power networks, and energy integration in smart cities. Prof. Damm has been a member of the IFAC Technical Committee TC 6.3 Power and Energy Systems since 2015. He has been an Associate Editor of the European Journal of Control since 2010 and Energies since 2020.
