Power Converter DC Link Ripple and Network Unbalance as Active Constraints in Distribution System Optimal Power Flow
Matthew Deakin, Rahmat Heidari, Xu Deng
The mitigation of unbalanced grid voltages or currents by voltage source converters results in power ripple on the dc link, and is a key converter design parameter due to hardware…
Reconfigurable Power Converters with Increased Utilization for Unbalanced Power Distribution System Applications
Matthew Deakin, Xu Deng
A low-cost reconfiguration stage connected at the output of balanced three-phase, multi-terminal ac/dc/ac converters can increase the feasible set of power injections substantially…
Smart Energy Network Digital Twins: Findings from a UK-Based Demonstrator Project
Matthew Deakin, Marta Vanin, Zhong Fan +1
Digital Twins promise to deliver a step-change in distribution system operations and planning, but there are few real-world examples that explore the challenges of combining imperf…
Demonstrating Almost Linear Time Complexity of Bus Admittance Matrix-Based Distribution Network Power Flow: An Empirical Approach
Matthew Deakin, Davis Montenegro
The bus admittance matrix is central to many power system simulation algorithms, but the link between problem size and computation time (i.e., the time complexity) using modern spa…
