In this paper, a photovoltaic(PV) generation system based on front-stage differential power processors(DPP) and BACK-stage centralized wide voltage-gain converter is proposed. The resonant switched capacitor(ReSC) converter, which features high power density and high efficiency, is employed as the d...

A new cost-based droop control method based upon generation cost and demand side cost management of the microgrid is proposed in this paper. At present, many droop control methods have been developed based on either the power rating or the generation cost of the distributed generation (DG) unit, wit...

New trigeneration system consists of an internal combustion engine, a power and cooling cogeneration system and an absorption heat transformer system. The exhaust gas is recovered by the power and cooling cogeneration subsystem producing the cooling and power. The jacket water is recovered by the ab...

With society's increasing dependence on critical infrastructure such as power grids and communications systems, the robustness of these systems has attracted significant attention. Failure of some nodes can trigger a cascading failure, which completely fragments the network, necessitating recovery e...

A semi-two-stage common-ground-type transformerless dual-buck-based grid-connected inverter is proposed in this paper. The common-ground-type topology can eliminate common mode (CM) leakage current by connecting the negative terminal of the photovoltaic(PV) directly to the neutral point of the grid,...
