Time domain measurement of near field emissions from complex PCBs (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Thomas, D., Greedy, S., Smartt, C., Nasser, H., Baharuddin, M., Gradoni, G., …Tanner, G. (2016). Time domain measurement of near field emissions from complex PCBs. . https://doi.org/10.1109/EuMC.2016.7824441

This paper discusses how the measurements of the near-field emissions in the time domain can be used to characterize the broadband emissions from complex sources such as multifunctional Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). The near- fields, transverse to t... Read More about Time domain measurement of near field emissions from complex PCBs.

An islanding detection method for multi-DG systems based on high-frequency impedance estimation (2016)
Journal Article
Jia, K., Wei, H., Bi, T., Thomas, D. W., & Sumner, M. (2017). An islanding detection method for multi-DG systems based on high-frequency impedance estimation. IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy, 8(1), 74-83. https://doi.org/10.1109/TSTE.2016.2582846

Active islanding detection methods are generally employed for grid-connected inverter-based Distributed Generation (DG). However, there might be mutual influences and power quality issues caused by the disturbance signal when multiple inverters are i...

Assessment of power quality in a microgrid with power electronic converters (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Ivry, P. M., Thomas, D. W., & Sumner, M. (2016). Assessment of power quality in a microgrid with power electronic converters.

This paper highlights the importance of assessing Power Quality (PQ) of microgrids using the recommended indices as stated in IEEE 519 and IEEE 1547 standards. It assesses the microgrid PQ by verifying if converter harmonics at the Point of Common Co... Read More about Assessment of power quality in a microgrid with power electronic converters.

High frequency impedance based fault location in distribution system with DGs (2016)
Journal Article
Jia, K., Bi, T., Ren, Z., Thomas, D. W., & Sumner, M. (2018). High frequency impedance based fault location in distribution system with DGs. IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 9(2), 807-816. https://doi.org/10.1109/TSG.2016.2566673

Distributed Generations (DGs) with power electronic devices and their control loops will cause distortion to the fault currents and result in errors for power frequency measurement based fault locations. This might jeopardize the distribution system... Read More about High frequency impedance based fault location in distribution system with DGs.
