DC Microgrids for the Integration of Vehicle to Grid Technology
By Rafael Batista, MG Researcher and Juan José Pichardo MG Research Assistant Challenges of Electrical Mobility Integration At this moment, we are in the middle of a transportation revolution. Electrical vehicles (EVs) are increasingly replacing petrol cars (as shown in Illustration 1) as a means of transportation, creating an important challenge for electrical utilities. The … Continue reading DC Microgrids for the Integration of Vehicle to Grid Technology
Energy and Community Resiliency Studies in the Dominican Republic. Case Study: Santiago de los Caballeros City
By Ramón Emilio De Jesús-Grullón (PI). MG Research PI, PUCMM What do we talk about when we talk about Energy and Community Resiliency? In recent years, preparing for the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events has become synonymous with the term resilience. Resilience, in this context, is defined as “the ability of people, … Continue reading Energy and Community Resiliency Studies in the Dominican Republic. Case Study: Santiago de los Caballeros City
IoT and Demand Response for Enhancing Grid Stability
By Juan José Pichardo. MG Research Assistant, PUCMM Changing the way we use energy One of the main challenges of the energy sector is not only to generate all the energy that is required by the consumers but also to supply the demanded power at any given time. Ideally, the amount of energy that we … Continue reading IoT and Demand Response for Enhancing Grid Stability
Networked Microgrids: Building Block of the SmartGrid
Networked Microgrids (NMG) The traditional electrical utility faces great challenges in terms of the coordination processes of the different actors that participate in its operation. Electrical distribution networks have maintained a centralized scheme, in which the control and coordination of the operating parameters are maintained to ensure the correct interconnection of all the generators. This … Continue reading Networked Microgrids: Building Block of the SmartGrid
