Unbalanced grid faults will lead to several drawbacks in the output power quality of photovoltaic generation (PV) converters, such as power fluctuation, current amplitude swell, and a large quantity of harmonics. The aim of this paper is to propose a flexible AC current generation method by selecting coefficients to overcome these problems in an optimal way. Three coefficients are brought in to tune the output current reference within the required limits of the power quality (the current harmonic distortion, the AC current peak, the power fluctuation, and the DC voltage fluctuation). Through the optimization algorithm, the coefficients can be determined aiming to generate the minimum integrated amplitudes of the active and reactive power references with the constraints of the inverter current and DC voltage fluctuation. Dead-beat controller is utilized to track the optimal current reference in a short period. The method has been verified in PSCAD/EMTDC software.

The expansion of distributed generation and erratic loads create many challenges for electricity distribution networks (DN), like grid congestion and load unbalance. Technological advances in recent years have made the use of electric vehicles (EVs) more economical and justified for network connection. The use of smart EVs in the network scale, in addition to the peak shedding, if it is used in a single phase, it can also lead to the improvement of load unbalance.

Article Synopsis
  • - The effectiveness of epidemic surveillance and response varies globally, with many current statistical models struggling to accurately analyze microinfection dynamics due to country-specific differences.
  • - Nonlinear mixed effects models (NLMMs) present a robust alternative by effectively handling diverse and irregular data, thus facilitating better infectious disease modeling compared to traditional compartmental models.
  • - A systematic review of NLMM applications in infectious disease modeling over the past two decades highlights their increasing use, especially for recent epidemics like COVID-19, while challenging the appropriateness of standard normality assumptions in this field.
