1) constant power through the power line at balanced several goals in its optimized operation [5], such as
condition; 2) two voltages available by using a three- high efficiency, high availability, good quality of service
wire system; 3) optimized voltage utilization com- and high level of security [6]. Those objectives can be
pared to a three-phase system; and 4) a direct connec-
tion of both symmetrical two-phase and single-phase
machines. Unlike the unbalanced three-phase system,
which can be represented by three sets of symmetrical
components, the unbalanced two-phase system is
broken up into only two symmetrical components.
Simulation results are employed to demonstrate the
feasibility of the theoretical study.
I. I NTRODUCTION C
The current research dealing with microgrid has been
developed considering the electric power systems avail-
able today, such as dc, ac single-phase and mainly
ac three-phase systems. However, the first poly-phase
electric power system used two phases with a 90 degree C
phase difference, and it was employed during the early
1890s [1]. Westinghouse Electric Corporation employed
a two-phase generator for the first ac powerhouse with C C
25Hz at Niagara Falls when operations started in 1895
[2]. At that time, the use of a two-phase system was C
motivated by the conviction that it would provide satis-
factory voltage regulation [3]. In 1898, the Pacific Light
and Power Company installed two-phase generators near Power line:
Los Angeles, CA [1]. Since the development of the - Three-phase
