Dynamic Behavior and Stabilization of DC Microgrids With Instantaneous Constant-Power Loads
TL;DR: In this article, stability issues in dc microgrids with instantaneous constant-power loads (CPLs) are explored and mitigation strategies such as load shedding, adding resistive loads, filters, or energy storage directly connected to the main bus, and control methods are investigated.

Spatial and Temporal Model of Electric Vehicle Charging Demand
Sungwoo Bae,Alexis Kwasinski +1 more
TL;DR: A mathematical model of charging demand based on the fluid dynamic traffic model and the M/M/s queueing theory may allow grid's distribution planners to anticipate a charging demand profile at a charging station.

Quantitative Evaluation of DC Microgrids Availability: Effects of System Architecture and Converter Topology Design Choices
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a quantitative method to evaluate dc microgrids availability by identifying and calculating minimum cut sets occurrence probability for different microgrid architectures and converter topologies, which provides planners with an essential tool to evaluate downtime costs and decide technology deployments based on quantitative risk assessments by allowing to compare the effect that converter topology and microgrid architecture choices have on availability.
