The increase in the global energy demand is one of the key factors that necessitates the developments in the field of renewable energy resources. Research in the field of microgrids has seen significant progress in recent years. It is driven by increased deployment, integration of renewable energy and energy storage, smart grid integration, innovative ownership models, grid-interactive buildings, standardization efforts, and a focus on resilience and emergency preparedness. These developments contribute to a more sustainable, reliable, and decentralized energy landscape. The high penetration of power-electronic interfaces in Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) integration makes microgrids highly susceptible to disturbances, causing severe transients, especially in the islanded mode. While the details of the system topology are easily obtainable, it is rather difficult to develop a high-fidelity model that represents the transient dynamics of the different DERs. A novel modularized Sparse Identification of Non-linear Dynamics (M-SINDy) algorithm is developed for effective data-driven modeling of the nonlinear transient dynamics of microgrid systems. The M-SINDy method realizes distributed discovery of nonlinear dynamics by partitioning a higher-order microgrid system into multiple subsystems and introducing pseudo-states to represent the impact of neighboring subsystems. This specific property of the proposed algorithm is found to be very useful while working with re-configurable and scalable microgrids. Dynamic discovery of system transients from measurements can be beneficial for designing control strategies that improves the overall microgrid stability and reliability. Prediction of future states is a difficult, but an essential tool in power systems for determining different control strategies that can aid in maintaining the transient stability of the overall system following a contingency. To understand the system and predict these transient dynamics of a microgrid in different operation modes, an extension of the M-SINDy method - Physics-informed hierarchical sparse identification has been proposed. The developed algorithm has a multi-layered structure to reduce the overall computational cost required to obtain accurate model dynamics. The different functions that affect the system dynamics are developed in the primary layer using the measured data. The terms developed in the primary layer are fit in the secondary layer to determine the exact dynamics of the system subject to different disturbances which can be leveraged to predict the system's future dynamics. The primary motivation to develop the data-driven prediction model is to incorporate the prediction data into a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework that can generate an optimal control input to enhance the transient stability of microgrids. This MPC controller is augmented with the conventional droop control for frequency stabilization. Given the inherent fluctuations in typical microgrid operations, stemming from factors such as varying load demands, weather conditions, and other variables, reachability analysis is performed in this work. We aim to facilitate the design of a data-driven prediction model that can be leveraged to implement an effective control strategy to ensure the efficient working of microgrids for a wide range of operating conditions. Another potential challenge in the study of microgrids is caused by system imbalances. Variable loads, single phase DERs, network variations, etc. are some of the major contributing factors which are responsible for making the system unbalanced. Unbalanced transients in a microgrid can result in conditions that can impact the connected loads and damage the system equipments. Minimizing the overall imbalance in the system is important for maintaining the system's stability, reliability, and optimal performance. We developed a data-driven model using a domain-enriched Deep Neural Network (DNN) architecture that can accurately predict the voltage dynamics in an unbalanced microgrid system, based on dynamic power flow computation. A supervisory control strategy is developed to reduce the imbalance by modulating the power generation of dispatchable units within the microgrid. The overarching purpose of this thesis is to explore the advancements in data science and provide an insight on the role of machine learning in transforming power systems for operation optimization and system enhancements. The integration of data science in microgrids allows for a more informed decision-making on resource allocation and builds a more resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure. It accelerates the transition to a more flexible, decentralized, and intelligent grid.

Renewable energy sources interface with the ac grids via inverters and are termed inverter-based resources (IBRs). They are replacing traditional fossil fuel-based synchronous generators at a dazzling speed. In turn, unprecedented dynamic events have occurred, threatening power grid reliability. Modeling and Stability Analysis of Inverter-Based Resources provides a fundamental understanding of IBR dynamics. Developing reliability solutions requires a thorough understanding of challenges, and in this case, IBR-associated dynamics. Modeling and stability analysis play an indispensable role in revealing a mechanism of dynamics. This book covers the essential techniques of dynamic model building for IBRs, including type-3 wind farms, type-4 wind farms, and solar photovoltaics. Besides modeling, this book offers readers the techniques of stability analysis. The text includes three parts. Part 1 concentrates on tools, including electromagnetic transient simulation, analysis, and measurement-based modeling. Part 2 focuses on IBR modeling and analysis details. Part 3 highlights generalized dynamic circuit representation—a unified modeling framework for dynamic and harmonic analysis. This topic of IBR dynamic modeling and stability analysis is interesting, challenging, and intriguing. The authors have led the effort of publishing the 2020 IEEE Power and Energy Society’s TR-80 taskforce report “Wind Energy Systems Subsynchronous Oscillations: Modeling and Events,” and the two taskforce papers on investigation of real-world IBR dynamic events. In this book, the authors share with readers many insights into modeling and analysis for real-world IBR dynamic events investigation.

The stability of power systems and microgrids is compromised by the increasing penetration with power electronic devices, such as wind turbines, photovoltaics and batteries. A simulation and optimization environment for such low-inertia systems is created. It is investigated how accurate the models need to be to capture the prevailing modes. An evolutionary algorithm tailored to optimization problems with computationally intensive fitness evaluation is proposed in order to optimized the controller parameters of grid-forming and grid-supporting distributed generators. It becomes apparent that microgrids dominated by grid-forming inverters are very stable systems when well-designed and optimized controllers are used. Model simplifications, such as the neglect of inner control loops of inverters, must be examined carefully, as they can lead to an inaccurate stability assessment.
