Day-Ahead Energy Management for Pelagic Island Microgrid

Pelagic islanded microgrid groups (PIMGGs) can be developed into resource islands and load islands with the electric vessel achieving the interisland energy transmission. For such multi-microgrid structure, the interisland energy transmission time affected by environmental factors is likely to be non-integer hour (such as 23min), resulting in mismatching with the standard day

SiC-based Isolated Three-port DC-DC Converter

Integrating microgrids or distributed energy sources into a utility grid requires a meticulous control design.
