• Control Relevant Model of Synchronous Generator Attached to Turbine and Grid 

      Bhusal, Khemraj (Master thesis, 2021)
      A synchronous generator is one of the important units in the hydropower plant that plays a key role in the production of electricity. Much effort has been done for designing more accurate models of synchronous machines ...
    • Formulation of Stochastic MPC to Balance Intermittent Solar Power with Hydro Power in Microgrid 

      Pandey, Madhusudhan; Winkler, Dietmar; Sharma, Roshan; Lie, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In a microgrid with both intermittent and dispatchable generation, the intermittency caused by sources such as solar power and wind power can be balanced using dispatchable sources like hydro power. Both generation and ...
    • Mechanistic Model of an Air Cushion Surge Tank for Hydro Power Plants 

      Pandey, Madhusudhan; Winkler, Dietmar; Vereide, Kaspar; Sharma, Roshan; Lie, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Due to the increasing use of renewable energy sources, and to counter the effects of fossil fuels, renewable dispatchable hydro power can be used for balancing load and generation from intermittent sources (solar and wind). ...
    • Model Fittng and State Estimation for Thermal Model of Synchronous Generator 

      Pandey, Madhusudhan (Master thesis, 2019)
      The power factor of a synchronous generator, in a European hydropower generation, is constrained to [0.85, 0.95], and for Norway, it is generally below 0.86. A higher power factor means more exploited power (active power), ...
    • Modelling Tool for Hydropower Systems, with Analysis and Design 

      Pandey, Madhusudhan (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;173, Doctoral thesis, 2023-10-19)
      The increased use of renewable energy sources is due to an increasing global energy need, and to counter the effects of fossil fuels on the environment. Common renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy ...
    • State Estimation of a Thermal Model of Air-cooled Synchronous Generator 

      Pandey, Madhusudhan; Øyvang, Thomas; Lie, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      In this paper, we extend a previous study on a totally enclosed thermal model of a synchronous generator, with temperature state estimation using experimental data. The extension includes a new formulation of the system ...
    • Using MPC to Balance Intermittent Wind and Solar Power with Hydro Power in Microgrids 

      Pandey, Madhusudhan; Winkler, Dietmar; Sharma, Roshan; Lie, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In a microgrid connected with both intermittent and dispatchable sources, intermittency caused by sources such as solar and wind power plants can be balanced by dispatching hydro power into the grid. Both intermittent ...
