The integration of renewable energy sources into microgrids introduces significant challenges in protection, stability, and reliability. Reliable protection of renewable integrated microgrids remains a major challenge due to the presence of harmonics, switching transients, and noise contamination that compromise conventional fault detection schemes. The work in this paper suggests the...Read More

Metering Infrastructure of Low Voltage Distributed Network. The management of electricity distribution faces numerous challenges, including energy losses arising from technical and non-technical issues such as electricity theft. Energy losses due to theft have a significant global impact, including in South Africa (SA). SA rural areas are suffering from poor...Read More

The proliferation of distributed energy resources in distribution systems has given rise to a new concept known as Microgrids (MGs). The effective control of MGs is a crucial aspect that needs to be prioritized before undertaking any implementation procedure. This article provides a comprehensive overview of hierarchical control methods that...Read More

The global climate protection policy aimed at achieving a zero greenhouse gas emissions target has led to the fast incorporation of large-scale photovoltaics into the power network. The conventional AC grid was not modeled to be incorporated with large-scale non-synchronous inverter-based energy resources (IBR). Incorporating inertia-free IBR into the grid...Read More

Power converters are required to modify the intermittent power from renewable sources into smooth and stable output. However, the power electronic based components which are utilized in the converters along with their pulse width modulation property can create power quality issues. Among all of them, one of the critical aspects...Read More
