The impact of such events on any country’s economy can be massive and hence certain measures must be put in place to either prevent or reduce such impacts to its barest minimum. The resilience nature of some distributed energy resources (DERs) has further enhanced its viability in most power grid applications today. The integration of DERs into the power grid, especially at the distribution level, has greatly changed the dynamics of the modern electricity system. The role of DER in the provision of black start services is the focus of this paper. Since the emerging power grid must be safeguarded against all forms of instability, which is most likely to result in a system collapse leading to a power blackout, a critical review of some outstanding blackout events of the last decade was carried out. Armed with this knowledge, a restoration strategy capable of improving the resiliency of the grid in the unlikely events of a blackout is presented in this work. The uniqueness of the developed black start restoration sequence is the real time coordination of the restoration process by the advanced distribution management system. Besides this, a black start restoration (BSR) problem formulation method which can be applied in distribution management system is presented. The formulated BSR problem was done as a dynamic optimisation problem.","PeriodicalId":106388,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 7th International Energy Conference (ENERGYCON)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123367122","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}

Directly using these large and unprocessed data sets can be inefficient especially in imbalanced class problems, where the positive class is sparsely represented in the training examples, such as classification of micro-scale transients. This is due to the longer time required for model training, and due to the increased possibility of obfuscating the useful information behind noisy readings. The matrix profile represents a computationally efficient and general purpose time series data mining technique which is suitable for embedded deployment in future generation smart meters, and in embedded energy gateways. Our analysis concerns the application of this technique on two types of residential electric power measurement data sets: a detached single family house and an apartment, with variable reporting rate and subsequence size parametrisation. Quantitative results support the findings that such approaches serve as practical instrument for measurement time series preprocessing in energy analytics.","PeriodicalId":106388,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 7th International Energy Conference (ENERGYCON)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115219853","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}

This paper shows how to implement this behavior into the linear programming optimization framework using settling time constants of a common energy storage system and power plants. Simulation results show that if linear programming is used to model the units participating in the frequency containment services, neglecting the settling time constraints can lead to decisions Which may not be grid-compliant in practice.","PeriodicalId":106388,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 7th International Energy Conference (ENERGYCON)","volume":"42 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115877793","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}

The poWer management of the storage system used in the research is based on a fuzzy inference system to define the input or output poWer of the battery storage system. The optimization procedure to determine the optimal parameters of the power management system is also provided. Except for the optimal allocation of the battery storage and distributed generation systems, the optimization of the parameters is performed along with the allocation optimization. The whole optimization problem is solved for the annual data of load and generation profiles of renewable sources using hourly values, i.e., the optimization is solved simultaneously for 8760 load and generation data. The optimization problem is solved by co-simulation using the metaheuristic optimization technique. Since the method is based on the use of fuzzy systems and metaheuristic optimization, it represents the implementation of computer intelligence for optimal allocation and energy management problems. The presented method is applied to the test distribution system IEEE with 37 nodes. The achieved reduction in annual energy losses is about 40 % of the losses in the power system without the distributed generation units and the battery storage system.","PeriodicalId":106388,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 7th International Energy Conference (ENERGYCON)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124967572","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}

To this end, this paper presents an experimental facility for the study of latent heat TES (LH-TES) units. Emphasis is placed on the individual elements of the facility, which includes plumbing components and electric heaters to support the charging process of the TES units. Water is used as the heat transfer fluid (HTF). To demonstrate the capabilities of the test-rig, an LH-TES prototype for heating applications is used. Four different configurations and three operating modes are assessed: charging, discharging and discharging-mixing. The wide range of the experiments possible with the developed facility enables testing of early designs of LH-TES units ahead of deployment in real thermal networks.","PeriodicalId":106388,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 7th International Energy Conference (ENERGYCON)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123716218","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}
