Abstract

The deployment of ac microgrids including distributed energy resources (DERs) can reduce the investment cost of building new fossil-fuel based power plants, facilitate the carbon-oxide reduction, provide reactive power compensation and frequency regulation, and enhance the system stability. However, some undesired effects such as imbalance, voltage fluctuation, and harmonics accompanied with the operations of DERs and nonlinear loads may affect the power quality (PQ) within the microgrid system. It is thus crucial to maintain the power quality within the microgrid to a satisfactory level. This paper presents the development of a graphical user interface-based analysis platform to monitor the power quality of the INER AC microgrid.
