EMT simulations are computationally expensive, and often specialized hardware, such as Real-Time Digital Simulators (RTDS), are used to run simulations in real-time. As individual simulators are limited in their computational capabilities, they can be interconnected in order to fully leverage their potential and enable more complex simulations. However, since these simulators are expensive and often located near power hardware for hardware-in-the-loop simulation, they are regularly distributed across multiple locations of different research institutions or organizations. The main contribution of this paper is the assessment of different approaches to connect multiple RTDS systems to form a locally distributed simulation infrastructure. For this, we combine a realistic and comprehensive model of a campus grid with a microgrid model to investigate the benefits and limitations of the different connection approaches.","PeriodicalId":102311,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Electrical Power and Energy Conference (EPEC)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126228760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These policies combined with decreased and improved performance of photovoltaic and wind generation resources have fostered a significant increase in installations worldwide. Furthermore, the number of these renewable energy resources is expected to continue increasing over the next few decades. Thus, the number of inverter-based resources is expected to rise in electric power systems. This non-negligible share of electric power from the power converters with respect to conventional synchronous generators could have a dramatic effect on power system stability due to a reduction in the total system inertia. To overcome this problem, inverter-based resources are combined with energy storage to emulate the synchronous generator characteristics and act as virtual synchronous generators. This approach of control of power converters emulates the effects of the inertia of traditional synchronous generator. This paper provides an explanation for general features offered by a virtual synchronous generator control strategy, mathematical model, and its controller design and the system simulation has been verified using electromagnetic transient simulation.","PeriodicalId":102311,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Electrical Power and Energy Conference (EPEC)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116077569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many developed and developing countries have announced incentive policies to support the electric vehicle industry. As a result of these advantages and incentives, it is anticipated that the number of electric vehicles overtakes the number of fossil-fueled vehicles in near future. This high penetration of electric vehicles might cause some problems to the power grid, as the current power grid infrastructures are not designed for mobile loads. In this regard, the interaction between the electricity sector and the electrified transportation sector as a potential future load or a flexible resource for power system should be considered in a developed scheme. This paper proposes a co-simulation scheme between electric vehicles and the power grid to provide policymakers and authorities with a powerful and scalable simulation tool for managing and mitigating the potential impacts of electric vehicles on the power grid.","PeriodicalId":102311,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Electrical Power and Energy Conference (EPEC)","volume":"149 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117298738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electricity price forecasting provides vital information on system conditions to the independent system operator (ISO). It indicates important signals pertaining to the need of investing in the new generation, upgrading transmission, or reducing electricity consumption. Power suppliers and consumers use the forecasted price to optimize the profit in the day-ahead market and bilateral contracts. Facility owners rely on the forecasted price to make investment decisions. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) networks are applied to improve short-term (time series) LMP forecasting accuracy. Dataset from the ISO-NE power market is utilized in modeling and analysis in which the proposed techniques are applied using Matlab and Python software.
