The intermittent nature of renewable resources and the unpredictable weather conditions contribute largely to the unreliability of microgrid real-time operation. This paper investigates the behavior of microgrid for different intermittent scenarios of photovoltaic generation in real-time. Reactive power coordination control and load shedding mechanisms are used for reliable operation and are implemented using OPAL-RT simulator integrated with Matlab. In an islanded MG, load shedding can be an effective mechanism to maintain generation-load balance. The microgrid of the German Jordanian University (GJU) is used for illustration. The results show that reactive power coordination control not only stabilizes the MG operation in real-time but also reduces power losses on transmission lines. The results also show that the power losses at some substations are reduced by a range of 6% - 9.8%.展开更多

In RCCI mode, as the fuel types and their combinations affects the reactivity stratificationinside cylinder, thus combustion control, in present study, iso-propanol was evaluated as lowreactivity fuel (LRF) when petroleum diesel, commercial biodiesel and their blends were highreactivity fuels. It is of great importance that iso-propanol and biodiesel be used together inRCCI mode, as they significantly affect the in-cylinder stratification due to their high octane/cetane number. Therefore, the reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) combustioncharacteristics was investigated in a diesel research engine using iso-propanol, petroleumdiesel, biodiesel and their blends as fuels. Tests were conducted on varying loadings (from20% to 60% of max torque) and premixed ratios of LRF (Rp Z 0, 0.15, 0.30, 0.45, and0.60) at a constant engine speed of 2400 rpm. Results, which were compared with conventionaldiesel combustion (CDC), showed that, as the premixed ratio (Rp) of low-reactivity fuel (isopropanol) increased, ignition delay (ID) period prolonged while combustion duration (CD) and rate of pressure rise (RoPR) reduced assisted to reduce NO emissions and smoke opacity in theexhaust. NO and smoke opacity reduced simultaneously for biodiesel-propanol combinationsup to 40% under 20% load and 0.60 premixed ratio of LRF compared to CDC. Propanol premixed ratio of 0.30 at 60% load was found to be optimum concerning lowest emissions. In conventional mode, HC emissions reduced by up to 52% when biodiesel and its blends with dieselfuel are used, whereas they increased significantly in RCCI mode. According to overall results,it is concluded that RCCI performed better than CDC at entire load.展开更多
