Cost estimates are made for different energy storage options based on present value of life cycle cost. The cost calculations use published information from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Sandia National Laboratories, and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Two different scenarios of project life, viz., 20 and 30 years, are covered. The economic advantage of using the Flexible Distribution of EneRgy and Storage resources (FDERS) framework in microgrid operation is analyzed.","PeriodicalId":107232,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE/IAS 51st Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"373 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122050897","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}

All three surge arresters failed causing major damage to the switchgear without any evidence of switching surge activity. Analysis concludes that the B-phase surge arrester internal damage led to its thermal runaway. The exact cause of this arrester internal damage remains unknown. The passage of a ground fault current through the arrester damaged the mounting plate and the subsequent heat transfer caused the phase-phase-ground short circuit through the other arresters. All arresters and the switchgear enclosure were damaged. Investigation into the cause of these events is the subject of this paper. Evaluation of the existing power system configuration and arresters' installation inside the switchgear cubicle are included in the failure analysis. To minimize such failures, installation recommendations for the surge arresters inside the medium-voltage switchgear are also included in the paper.","PeriodicalId":107232,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE/IAS 51st Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128263430","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}

Port facilities have to organize their electric power systems as a unique loads area constituting a microgrid. A common renewable energy power system, organized for all the customers of a port, can be sized and operated more efficiently aiming to guarantee the self-consumption of the whole production and to allow pursuing the goal of a nearly net-zero energy power system. The paper contributes to propose an advanced solution to organize the port cranes even as nearly net-zero energy load systems, adopting a regenerative storage, by means of bidirectional converters and ultracapacitors. They can regenerate power during container dropping cycle and draw power when containers are lifted. Ultracapacitors assist for a momentary energy storage seamlessly as flywheels.","PeriodicalId":107232,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE/IAS 51st Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128374628","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}

With the on-site generators not having the capacity to carry the entire plant load, this plant relies on importing power from the utility. Valero upgraded their medium-voltage protection system and was looking for a fast, deterministic, reliable, and cost-effective solution to protect their medium-voltage busbars as well as a local-area measurement-based generator islanding detection system to protect their generator equipment. An economical solution was proposed and implemented using automation controllers, which receive information from the new relays using a fiber-optic link and a protection-speed protocol. Multiple techniques on redundant hardware are used to detect the islanding condition and help improve the dependability of the islanding detection scheme, regardless of generation-load mismatch. A unique voting scheme was developed to improve security. The zone interlocked bus protection scheme programmed in the controllers uses directional information to provide high-speed selectivity during bus faults. An intelligent source selection algorithm automatically modifies the bus protection logic depending on the topology of the power system. The protection-speed processing capabilities of the automation controllers enable the high-speed operation of the schemes. This paper describes the solution implemented at Valero and introduces the algorithms developed to provide a robust integrated protection system that operates with dependability, selectivity, and security.","PeriodicalId":107232,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE/IAS 51st Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132435569","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}
