In this project, we are developing alternative control strategies for grid-connected PV inverters with load compensation and LVRT capabilities. We are also analyzing the operation of distribution networks with high renewable energy penetration and the inclusion of multifunctional PV systems for voltage sags.

Collaborators: Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Colombia) + Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas (Colombia) + Universidad Antonio Nariño (Colombia).

Supported by MinCiencias project "Programa de Investigación en Tecnologías Emergentes para Microredes Eléctricas Inteligentes con Alta Penetración de Energias Renovables" + MinCiencias project: "Diseño de estrategias alternativas de operación y control para sistemas fotovoltaicos multifuncionales en redes de
distribución con alta penetración de energías renovables".

Control strategies for grid-connected PV systems

IIoT based platform for Industry 4.0 [Project website]

In this project, we are designing and implementing an IIoT platform for training students in industry 4.0 technologies. The platform will integrate a central server with controlled process modules using portable, compact, and low-cost modules operated remotely by the students. At the end of the project, a training program will be offered in conjunction with strategic Colombian industries.

Collaborators: Diseño y Automatización Industrial S.A.S. (Colombia).

This project is supported by MinCiencias "Diseño, desarrollo e implementación de una plataforma IIoT para formación de profesionales en tecnologías de la cuarta revolución industrial".
