“…As in any kind of network, meshed configurations enhance the system reliability significantly [25]. Furthermore, such topologies bring the additional advantages of high-power transfer ability as well as zonal protection schemes [11] [26]. In general, there is no standardized methodology to mesh a microgrid network.…”

“…A possible design for its power subsystem is the meshed microgrid, i.e. multi-looped architectures that enhance system reliability through their multi-point of failure endurance and zonal protection schemes and are characterized by high-power transfer capability [11]. These topologies have been successfully applied in military bases, offshore bases, telecommunication stations and all-electric ships [5].…”

The present study analyses the design of the power system of a manned lunar base, in Shackleton crater, using well-established terrestrial technologies deriving from DC microgrids with increased fault-tolerance needs. Expected luminance data from 2020 is used in order to select the ideal base location in terms of mean annual solar irradiance, according to which, the sizing of the power generation and storage units is performed. The proposed grid topology is meshed in order to satisfy the high reliability requirements of a manned space mission and, at the same time, to reduce the mass/ volume budgets of the mission. The load profile is constructed using a set of notional loads. Furthermore, a novel solar array configuration is proposed under the scope of maximizing the energy production under the specific irradiance of the base siting. After preliminary sizing is performed, a series of microgrid-related technologies is suggested, covering all levels of grid design, control and protection.

“…However, [24] only studied one configuration without illustrating the relation between the voltage stability and reactive power flow. In order to achieve a tie re-closer functions, a microgrid with auto-loop was utilized in [25] to reconfigure the distribution network. The microgrid with auto-loop is able to inject or absorb the power from the grid, because of which it provides high flexibility compared to ordinary auto-loops.…”

“…The microgrid with auto-loop is able to inject or absorb the power from the grid, because of which it provides high flexibility compared to ordinary auto-loops. However, [25] did not illustrate how is the connection within the microgrid, or investigated the impacts of having variant mixture of DGs, neither showed the relation between the power management and voltage regulation at the point of common coupling (PCC). A list of voltage controlling techniques for grid-connected PV generators were studied in [11].…”

Integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) sources to power grid is increasing rapidly in recent years. Since the PV source is an intermittent source, this causes many challenges to distribution network. To overcome these challenges, a voltage regulation strategy using a developed power management technique for microgrid system is proposed. The technique is based on voltage ride through capability. The active and reactive power flow along with the voltage profile has been deeply investigated to improve the stability of the distribution network. As a testing environment, three microgrid configurations developed in MATLAB/Simulink have been investigated. The study shows a faster response time and lower circulating current in configuration 2. Moreover, it revealed the effectiveness of the power management technique when a cluster of dispatchable and non-dispatchable distributed generators is in operation.
