• Avoiding AC/DC grid interaction in MMC based MTDC Systems 

      Endegnanew, Atsede Gualu; Bergna-Diaz, Gilbert; Uhlen, Kjetil (Chapter, 2017)
      In this paper, the interaction between ac and dc grids is studied for two types of MMC control structures; conventional and non-conventional control structures. Linear analysis methods that are based mode shapes and ...
    • Distributed generation in future distribution systems: Dynamic aspects 

      Endegnanew, Atsede Gualu (Master thesis, 2010)
      The objective of this thesis work was to study the stability of a distribution network with several distributed generators (DGs) considering different types of regulators in the DGs and loading conditions. The distribution ...
    • Enhanced primary frequency control from EVs: a fleet management strategy to mitigate effects of response discreteness 

      Zecchino, Antonio; D'Arco, Salvatore; Endegnanew, Atsede Gualu; Korpås, Magnus; Marinelli, Mattia (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Electric vehicle (EV) chargers can be controlled to support the grid frequency by implementing a standard-compliant fast primary frequency control (PFC). This study addresses potential effects on power systems due to control ...

    • Power oscillation damping with virtual capacitance support from modular multilevel converters 

      Taffese, Abel Assegid; Endegnanew, Atsede Gualu; D'Arco, Salvatore; Tedeschi, Elisabetta (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Power oscillation damping (POD) is one of the ancillary services expected from high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converters. When providing POD to the ac side, converters draw power from the dc side, which can cause ...
    • Stability Analysis of High Voltage Hybrid AC/DC Power Systems 

      Endegnanew, Atsede Gualu (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU;2017:256, Doctoral thesis, 2017)
      Interest in large-scale integration of power from renewable energy sources (RES) has grown in the last decade as a result of energy policies adopted by governments in an effort to reduce CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions. ...
    • Using Decentralized Control Techniques for Interaction Analysis in Hybrid AC/DC Grids 

      Endegnanew, Atsede Gualu; Kalemba, Lester; Uhlen, Kjetil (Chapter, 2018)
      One of the ancillary services that can be provided by Multi-terminal Direct Current (MTDC) grid to connected ac grids is power oscillation damping (POD). However, using PODs at multiple terminals of an MTDC grid results ...
