Microgrids need control strategies to achieve maximum performance. An appropriate control strategy should have high performance in unbalanced conditions in addition to normal conditions. Today, the use of microgrids, with a variety of power sources, including solar, wind, diesel, energy storage sources to increase the capability of distribution grid has made significant progress. However, controlling and managing their energy in the event of a fault is a challenge that researchers are faced. In this article, two microgrids connected to the grid are studied using a back-to-back (BTB)-voltage source converters (VSC) converter. The results of this research showed that by the usage of above-mentioned convertor first, with power management between microgrids the frequency remains constant in island mode second, they are isolated from each other in terms of faults. The results showed that the use of the proposed method controlled the frequency of two microgrids simultaneously.
Background and Objective:Incidental events due to human error in the maintenance activities of molecular sieve replacement in the dehydration unit of gas refineries indicate the inadequate effectiveness of the techniques available to identify human errors. This study aimed to identify and analyze human errors in this maintenance activity using the predictive human error analysis (PHEA) technique and provide appropriate control strategies to prevent or reduce the consequences of identified errors. Materials and Methods: In this study, all activities and tasks performed to achieve the main goals were identified using hierarchical task analysis (HTA) technique. Subsequently, possible types of human errors in each phase of the above processes were predicted and identified using the PHEA method and a series of guidance keywords.After determining the consequences of each error, appropriate control methods were also provided. Results: Out of 11 operations and 111 sub task occupations analyzed in the PHEA worksheets, a total of 337 errors were identified, of which 246, 13, 28, 33, and 17cases were regarded as action, checking, retrieval, information transfering and planning errors, respectively. The most significant identified errors were forgetting the task, doing the task incorrectly, incompletely, at the wrong time, making the right decision on the wrong option, and doing the task more or less than necessary. Conclusion: According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that functional errors were the most prevalent type of errors. Theses results emphasize the necessity of using control strategies in terms of adequate and effective training for personnel, the preparation and modification of instructions, the monitoring of implementation of work and hardware changes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
