In order to increase the flexibility of power systems to rel iably and cost-effectively manage the variability and uncertainty of deman d and supply across all relevant timescales\, Distributed Generation (DG) units and Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) can be utilized. The interconnecti on of such systems to power grids can be via the DC-link of Custom Power d evices (CUPs). The result of this interconnection\, called “Flexible Dis tributed Energy Resources”\, can affect the flexibility of power systems by controlling energy exchange\, active power and voltage\, and simultane ously improving power quality indices.\n\nIn this presentation\, challenge s related to uncertainties in power generation and energy availability\, a s well as changes in power systems operation and planning methods\, will b e discussed. Discussions on power systems flexibility will be given\, and then\, it will be shown that it is possible to connect DG units and ESSs t o power grids using the DC-link of Distribution Static Compensator (D-STAT COM)\, Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) and Unified Power Quality Conditione r (UPQC)\, and control active power injected by DG units and ESSs and simu ltaneously improve power quality indexes.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Power and En ergy Systems Research Laboratory\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Gevork B.
