Grid-forming (GF) inverter technology is a novel and evolving concept for systems with high
penetration of renewables. The integration of these grid-independent units with the existing …

Alaska has over 200 communities operating remote islanded microgrids that are not
connected to each other or to the North American electric grid. These communities range in …

In an off-grid hybrid wind-diesel-battery system, the diesel generator is often not utilised
efficiently, therefore compromising its lifetime. In particular, the general rule of thumb of …

This paper presents a system identification based minimum variance control architecture for
three-phase voltage source inverters that work seamlessly in both grid connected and grid …

This paper presents the modeling and characterization of the tower shadow effects using a
wind turbine emulator in a laboratory environment. In particular, the downwind wind turbines …

As microgrids evolve and proliferate, with sharp increase in renewable-fed distributed
generation, islanded operation of microgrids that are fed entirely by inverter-interfaced …

In a standalone hybrid wind-diesel-battery system, the battery lifetime is often optimistically
over-predicted by hybrid system designers and battery manufacturers. As a result, battery …

Current developments in wave energy conversion have focused on locations where the
wave energy resource is the highest; using large devices to generate hundreds of kilowatts …

As the penetration of renewable energy resources increases, and standards evolve to
accommodate it, it has become a distinct possibility that at least for some periods of times …

This paper details the methodology and development of an isolated wind-battery system in
the lab. The full-scaled prototype was built using commercial components along with the …
