© 2020 IEEE. Cascaded H-bridge converters are widely used in the implementation of medium voltage static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs). This is because of the advantages of relatively high-power density and the improved utilisation of low-volta...

In Proceedings of 2020 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility - EMC EUROPE. https://doi.org/10.1109/emceurope48519.2020.9245670

This paper deals with the effects of radiated EMI on serial communication links using software modelling with particular emphasis on the physical layer. The effect of EMI in data links is an important problem to solve in many harsh environments such...

Single-phase consensus-based control for regulating voltage and sharing unbalanced currents in 3-wire isolated AC microgrids. IEEE Access, 8, 164882-164898. https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2020.3022488

A distributed control strategy is proposed to share unbalanced currents in three-phase threewire isolated AC Microgrids (MGs). It is based on a novel approach where, rather than analysing the MG as a three-phase system, it is analysed as three single...

Sizing Community Energy Storage Systems — Used for Bill Management compared to Use in Capacity and Firm Frequency Response Markets (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Elkazaz, M., Sumner, M., & Thomas, D. (2020). Sizing Community Energy Storage Systems — Used for Bill Management compared to Use in Capacity and Firm Frequency Response Markets. In 2020 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT) (1-6). https://doi.org/10.1109/ISGT45199.2020.9087724

This paper introduces an economic analysis for the optimal sizing of a battery energy storage system (BESS) for use in an Energy Community. The analysis is based on data from a UK community and aims to determine the best size for the BESS to manage t...
