Techno-economic and environmental analysis of community energy management for peak shaving (2021)
Journal Article
Cossutta, M., Pholboon, S., McKechnie, J., & Sumner, M. (2022). Techno-economic and environmental analysis of community energy management for peak shaving. Energy Conversion and Management, 251, Article 114900. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2021.114900

Energy storage (ES) is seen as the key to unlocking the true potential of renewable generation as it potentially supports their integration into the grid by providing capability for services such balancing and frequency regulation. It also has the po... Read More about Techno-economic and environmental analysis of community energy management for peak shaving.

Comparison of Frequency Transform Methods for Condition Monitoring of a DC-Link Capacitor (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Raqib, A., Jahanger, H., Sumner, M., Cox, T., Klumpner, C., Agha, I., …Lonsdale, P. (2021). Comparison of Frequency Transform Methods for Condition Monitoring of a DC-Link Capacitor. In 10th International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD 2020) (621 – 626). https://doi.org/10.1049/icp.2021.1169

Electrolytic capacitors continue to be used for the DC-link in motor drive systems due to their high specific capacitance. The degradation of electrolytic capacitors can lead to increased equivalent series resistances (ESR) and reduction in capacitan...

Distributed Predictive Control Strategy for Frequency Restoration of Microgrids Considering Optimal Dispatch (2021)
Journal Article
F., A. N., Gomez, J. S., Llanos, J., Rute, E., Saez, D., & Sumner, M. (2021). Distributed Predictive Control Strategy for Frequency Restoration of Microgrids Considering Optimal Dispatch. IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 12(4), 2748-2759. https://doi.org/10.1109/tsg.2021.3053092

Microgrids are the cornerstone for a new model of electrical generation based on renewable resources. Commonly microgrids are controlled with a centralised hierarchical structure, which is inherited from power systems. However, a time-scale separatio...
