Integrated Economic and Emission Dispatch of Hybrid Thermal-Photovoltaic Generation

I. Abdullahi*, U. Musa, B. Musa, A. Aliyu, Abdullahi Bala Kunya, S.A. Alkali, S. Awaisu

Due to the increasing demand for qualitative electric energy at a competitive price and reduced environmental deterioration, electric power generation systems should be optimally dispatched. In this paper, the Integrated Economic and Emission Dispatch (IEED) of hybrid thermal-photovoltaic power plants using Bat (Chiroptera) Inspired Algorithm (BIA)...

Development of Load Frequency Control of Two Area Interconnected Network Incorporated with Distributed Energy Sources

Adamu, Ahmed Kana*, Abdullahi Bala Kunya, A.S. Abubakar

The frequency of power systems is highly sensitive to load changes, and the increasing integration of distributed energy sources (DESs) further complicates frequency stabilization. To address these challenges, Load Frequency Control (LFC) is implemented to maintain frequency within acceptable limits. This work proposes a grasshopper optimization al...

Development of an Optimal Energy Management System for Grid-Connected Micro Grid

Zubair Dada*, Patrick Ubeh Okorie, Abdullahi Bala Kunya

This paper developed an optimal energy management system (EMS) for a grid-connected microgrid (MG) integrating distributed generation (DG) to minimize operational costs of the MG, which consisted solar PV, micro turbine, wind turbine, combined heat and power, electricity energy storage, and fuel cells. The parameters were optimized using particle s...

Development of Energy Management System for Microgrid System Considering Demand Response Program for Clean and Economic Operation

Obiabo Okeme*, B. Jimoh, Abdullahi Bala Kunya, Abah David Enemali

Micro-grids are small-scale localized energy systems operating independently or in conjunction with the main power grid. A micro-grid system (MGS) is made up of various energy sources like solar panels, wind turbines, fuel cells, along with storage units, control mechanisms, and a network of radial load feeders, all designed to enhance the economic...

Optimal Scheduling Scheme of an Autonomous Microgrid Considering the Operational and Maintenance Costs of the Micro-Sources

Abubakar Ahmed*, A.S. Abubakar, Abdullahi Bala Kunya

The solution of the combined Economic-Emission Load Dispatch (EELD) problem of conventional or micro-grid (MG) system entails determination of the optimal power output of dispatchable generating units, to meet the system load, at the lowest possible cost and reduced greenhouse gases emission, subject to some constraints. In most studies, the instal...

Development of Optimized Maximum PowerPoint Tracking Scheme for A Partially Shaded Photovoltaic System

M. Aderinola*, A.S. Abubakar, Abdullahi Bala Kunya

Solar energy harnessed through photovoltaic (PV) technology plays a pivotal role in generating electrical energy. Maximizing the power output of solar modules requires optimal solar radiation. However challenges arise due to obstacles such as stationary objects, building, tree leaves and winds, which can result in the presence of multiple points of...

MODULAR MULTILEVEL CONVERTER WITH HARMONICS COMPENSATION FOR STATE-FEEDBACK CONTROLLER

A. U,Lawan*, Abubakar Abdulkarim, I.S Madugu, Abdullahi Bala Kunya, G.S. Shehu

The voltage variations among the sub-module (SM) capacitors result in harmonicssuperimposed unto the circulating current. The conventional control of the SM voltages usesa closed-loop proportional Integral (PI) controller based on carrier shifted pulse widthmodulation (CSPWM). The PI-controller provides a dc reference circulating current for thecon...
