Application-Based Measures for Developing Cyber-Resilient Control and Protection Schemes in Power Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-04)Electric power systems are a part of the most-crucial infrastructure on which societies depend. In order to operate efficiently and reliably, the physical layer in large electric power networks is coupled with a cyber ... -
Congestion Management in Active Distribution Networks and its Cyber Security
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-03)The evolution of the traditional power grid (TPG) to the digital smart grid is expected to improve the operation of the power system. The smart grids' capability to support various distributed generation technologies, ... -
Control of Voltage Source Converter Based Multi Terminal DC and Hybrid AC/DC Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-11-20)The journey of power systems started with the development of the dc technology pioneered by Thomas Edison in the late 19th century. Meanwhile, Nicola Tesla led the investigation of ac technology, which soon surmounted the ... -
Cyber-Physical Security of Power Distribution Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-07)Smart grids have been witnessing continuous and rapid radical developments in the recent years. With the aim towards a more sustainable energy system, the share of distributed generation resources is ever-increasing and ... -
Cyber-Physical Security of Wide-Area Frequency-based Applications in Power Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-02)Modern power systems are continuously developing into large and interconnected ones. However, at the same time, restructuring within the power industry and reduced investment in transmission system expansions mean that ... -
Enhancing the Modeling and Efficiency of Photovoltaic Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-02)Solar energy is a strong contender among the sustainable alternatives that offer practical potential for replacing increasingly depleted fossil fuels and supplying the world’s growing energy demands. However, despite its ... -
Grid-able Plug-in Electric Vehicles in Smart Grids: Incorporation into Demand Response
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)Electric transportation has attracted a great deal of interest within the transport sector because of its notable potential to become a low-carbon substitute for conventional combustion engine vehicles. However, widespread ... -
Large-Scale Demand Management in Smart Grid
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-24)Future energy grids are expected to rely extensively on controlling consumers' demands to achieve an efficient system operation. The demand-side of the power network is usually constituted of a large number of low power ... -
Modelling, Control, and Planning of Microgrids for Power Quality Assurance
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-15)This thesis considers power quality improvement for microgrids penetrated with nonlinear loads at two levels: 1) at the device level, which is carried out through the distributed generators’ (DGs’) controllers on a ... -
Multi-terminal VSC-HVDC Based Offshore Wind-Farms Integration System Operation and Control
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-15)Worldwide, many countries direct billions of dollars into the development of renewable energy sources; especially wind generation, in an effort to relieve global warming effects and other environmental concerns. As a result ... -
The New AC/DC Hybrid Microgrid Paradigm: Analysis and Operational Control
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-03)AC/DC hybrid microgrids (HMGs) represent a promising architecture that allows the hosting of innovative dc energy resources, such as renewables, and modern dc loads, such as electric vehicles, thereby reducing the number ... -
Protection of Direct-Current Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-30)The overwhelming advancement in power electronics converters throughout the past few decades is leading to an increasing interest in the integration of Direct-Current (DC) systems to the existing AC ones on the generation, ... -
Toward the Integration of DC Microgrids into a Hybrid AC/DC Paradigm
(University of Waterloo, 2016-11-29)The recent penetration of distributed generation (DG) into existing electricity grids and the consequent development of active distribution networks (ADNs) have prompted an exploration of power distribution in a dc microgrid ...
