Summary: This article proposes a comprehensive multi-functional controller for a hybrid energy storage system. The output power of the battery converter is controlled using V-dP/dt for slow dynamic response, while the SC converter is regulated using the traditional V-P droop for fast response. The SC converter control maintains the dc bus voltage within a safe range, eliminating the need for a voltage recovery loop. Furthermore, a consensus-based voltage compensator is introduced to achieve state of charge balance and power sharing among batteries.

Summary: This paper presents a decentralized multi-DCMG system to address the challenges of H-ESS limitations, consumption/generation complexities, and renewables volatility, while providing affordable load demands. The proposed system utilizes a high-control level for energy/power balances and a fuzzy logic energy management system to supervise SoC recovery. The low-control level consists of robust controllers and advanced filtering techniques for load frequency decoupling. The results show that the H-ESS outperforms single-ESS systems in dynamic load changes and renewables' uncertainty, but high costs and slow SoC restoration are major drawbacks. The global system assessment demonstrates promising results in terms of stable Bus voltage, accurate SoC recovery, and high supply efficiency with minor power losses.

Summary: The rapid growth of distributed generators in distribution systems has brought new technical issues and challenges to fault protection. A proposed protection system based on the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the grid voltages combines THD with estimated amplitude voltages and zero-sequence components to detect, identify, and isolate faults in the grid using a finite state machine algorithm. Communication lines are used to coordinate protective devices and transmit tripping signals. Simulation results show that the proposed method has faster fault detection time and higher accuracy compared to a conventional differential relay protection system.

Summary: Virtual synchronous generator (VSG) is considered crucial for future low inertia power systems due to its ability to provide flexible inertia support. However, widespread application of VSGs leads to complications such as dynamic frequency interaction, active power oscillation, and inappropriate transient active power-sharing. This paper proposes a distributed control method using Center of Inertia (COI) frequency to address these issues. The method utilizes communication between adjacent neighbors to improve reliability and reduce communication costs, and stability is proven through simulations and experiments.

Summary: This paper proposes an error-and-hold algorithm for the Second Order Generalized Integrator-Frequency Locked Loop (SOGI-FLL) to quickly detect faults and hold the estimated frequency during perturbations. The algorithm utilizes the absolute value of the SOGI's error, its average, and the average of the FLL's estimated frequency to reduce induced errors and improve the transient response of the FLL. It is a straightforward and low computational burden algorithm that can be executed on a low-cost processor, as validated through simulations and experimental results.
