In this paper, we present a quick review of the global asset management model at HQT. Furthermore, we introduce a Contingency Analysis (CA) approach which will be integrated in the reliability simulator module of the HQT global asset management model. To this end, we augment the traditional bus-branch data model to provide a detailed node-breaker representation that contains detailed nodes, breakers and other switching devices. Then, we analyze the impact of the equipment unavailability on the network behaviour using a detailed CA approach. This contingency analysis approach not only informs the asset management engineers in case of violations, but also suggests several remedial actions to eliminate the violation.","PeriodicalId":106476,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128200965","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}

Such problems, however, are much more difficult than hourly UC problems. This is not just because of the increased number of period to consider, but also because of much reduced unit ramping capabilities leading to more complicated convex hulls. As a result, state-of-the-art and practice methods such as branch-and-cut suffer from poor performance. In this paper, our recent Surrogate Absolute-Value Lagrangian Relaxation (SAVLR) method, which overcame major difficulties of standard Lagrangian Relaxation, is enhanced by synergistically incorporating the concept of Ordinal Optimization (OO). By using OO, solving subproblems becomes much faster. Testing of Midcontinent ISO (MISO)’s problem with 15 minutes as the time interval over 36 hours involving about 1,100 units and 15000 virtuals demonstrates that the new method obtains near-optimal solutions efficiently and significantly outperforms branch-and-cut.","PeriodicalId":106476,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115857860","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 proposed deep learning ensemble approach combines several individual and hybrid deep learning models, such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Hybrid Deep Neural Network (HDNN), with the formation of four different ensembles, in particular HDNN+CNN,HDNN+LSTM, CNN+LSTM, and HDNN+CNN+LSTM. The proposed approach considers the historical data of wind speed as major input through ensemble averaging in order to produce the final wind power prediction. The major advantage of the proposed ensemble learning is that they make the best use of predictions from multiple deep learning models and their capability to effectively “cancel out” the individual errors, which in turn help enhance the final prediction accuracy. The simulation on actual data, acquired from the real wind farm in Texas, demonstrates the effectiveness of the presented approach to produce a higher degree of very short-term wind power forecast accuracy for multiple seasons of the year in comparison to other soft computing as well as to individual deep learning models.","PeriodicalId":106476,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132083002","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}

Then, the state variables, i.e., voltage magnitudes and phase angles are obtained using machine learning based approaches, namely, Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), and Support Vector Regression (SVR). Several simulations are performed on the IEEE 14 and 30-Bus test systems to validate surrogate based learning based models.

In the proposed model, end-users with DERs can flexibly share surplus energies with others instructed by the aggregator. A linear model is applied to analyze the active and reactive power flow in the distribution network and ensure the sharing outcomes meet the operational requirements.

These events have severely impacted power systems ranging from long outage times to major equipment (e.g., substations, transmission lines, power plants, and distribution system) destruction. Distribution system failures and outages are major contributors to power supply interruptions. Network reconfiguration and movable energy resources (MERs) can play a vital role in supplying loads during and after contingencies. This paper proposes a two-stage strategy to determine the minimum sizes of MERs with network reconfiguration for distribution service restoration and supplying local and isolated loads. Sequential Monte Carlo simulations are used to model the outages of distribution system components. After a contingency, the first stage determines the network reconfiguration based on the spanning tree search algorithm. In the second stage, if some system loads cannot be fed by network reconfiguration, MERs are deployed and the optimal routes to reach isolated areas are determined based on the Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm (DSPA). The traveling time obtained from the DSPA is incorporated with the proposed sequential Monte Carlo simulation-based approach to determine the sizes of MERs. The proposed method is applied on several distribution systems including the IEEE-13 and IEEE-123 node test feeders. The results show that network reconfiguration can reduce the required sizes of MERs to supply the isolated areas.","PeriodicalId":106476,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130172785","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}

During LVRT, RECS’s terminal voltage becomes sensitive and changeable with its output current, which brings a great challenge for the RECS to resynchronize with the grid by means of phase-locked loops (PLLs). This paper indicates that loss of synchronism (LOS) of PLLs is responsible for the transient instability of grid-connected RECSs during LVRT, and the LOS is essentially due to the transient interaction between the PLL and the weak terminal voltage. For achieving a quantitative analysis, an equivalent swing equation model is developed to describe the transient interaction. Based on the model, the transient instability mechanism of RECSs during LVRT is clarified. Furthermore, a transient stability enhancement method is proposed to avoid the possibility of transient instability. Simulations performed on the New England 39-bus test system verify the effectiveness of the method.","PeriodicalId":106476,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134370261","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 implementation of these advanced techniques generally requires dedicated computational resources and software.
