In this research, an improved two-step nearest level control (E-NLC) is presented for MMC with a three-level submodule (3L-SM) as the rectifier of the electric ship power generation units in order to ease the economical and reliable operation of MMCs in MVDC systems. To achieve DC fault-clearing capability, the use of MMC with 3L-SM minimizes the number of switching devices when compared to the regular MMC topology. The suggested E-NLC scheme aims to reduce total harmonic distortion (THD) and achieve the nearest zero common mode voltage (CMV). The output voltage vector of the three phases is tuned using eight candidate vectors capable of suppressing CMV rather than the nearest-level vector, and the rounding function is modified to improve harmonic performance by increasing the approximation between stepped and modulated waves. The generator-connected MMC with THD reduction and CMV elimination maximizes the mover's protection in the generating unit of the electric ship's MVDC system. Simulation and experiment results validate the efficacy of the suggested approach with respect to steady-state and dynamic-state performance.","PeriodicalId":10729,"journal":{"name":"CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems","volume":"11 4","pages":"1670-1680"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10520188","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144831932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to explore the potential of frequency regulation support, dynamic assessment, and capacity promotion of thermal power plants in the transition period. Considering the dynamic characteristics of the main steam working fluid under different working conditions, a nonlinear observer is constructed by extracting the main steam pressure and valve opening degree parameters. The real-time frequency modulation capacity of thermal power units can provide a dynamic state for the power grid. A dynamic adaptive modification for primary frequency control (PFC) of power systems, including wind power and thermal power, is proposed and improved. The power dynamic allocation factor is adaptively optimized by predicting the speed droop ratio, and the frequency modulation capability of the system is improved by more than 11% under extreme conditions. Finally, through the Monte Carlo simulation of unit states of the system under various working conditions, the promotion of the frequency regulation capacity with high wind power penetration (WPP) is verified.","PeriodicalId":10729,"journal":{"name":"CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems","volume":"10 4","pages":"1371-1383"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10520152","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141966166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To better measure the resilience requirements, the proposed TH&P model includes two resilience assessment indexes, namely, the load shedding (LS) under the damage scenario and the average connectivity degree (ACD) at different stages. The first-stage model, which aims to meet the load growth demand while minimizing the LS, is formulated as a mixed-integer linear program (MILP) to minimize the total planning and hardening cost of transmission lines, the operating cost of generators, and the penalty cost of wind power and load shedding in both normal and damage scenarios. The second-stage model aims to further improve the ACD when the ACD of the scheme obtained from the first-stage model cannot reach the target. Specifically, the contribution of each transmission line to the ACD is calculated, and the next hardened line is determined to increase the ACD. This process is repeated until the ACD meets the requirements. Case studies of the modified IEEE RTS-24 and two-area IEEE reliability test system-1996 indicate the proposed TH&P model can meet the requirements for both normal and damage scenarios.","PeriodicalId":10729,"journal":{"name":"CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems","volume":"10 4","pages":"1746-1760"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10452306","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141966283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Before a wildfire happens, the public-safety power shutoff (PSPS) strategy is applied to actively cut some vulnerable lines which may easily cause wildfires, and reinforce some lines that are connected to critical loads. To mitigate load shedding caused by active line disconnection in the PSPS strategy, network reconfiguration is applied before the wildfire occurrence. During the restoration period, repair crews (RCs) repair faulted lines, and network reconfiguration is also taken into consideration in the recovery strategy to pick up critical loads. Since there exists possible errors in the wildfire prediction, several different scenarios of wildfire occurrence have been taken into consideration, leading to the proposition of a stochastic multi-period resilient model for the VSC-based AC-DC HDS. To accelerate the computational performance, a progressive hedging algorithm has been applied to solve the stochastic model which can be written as a mixed-integer linear program. The proposed model is verified on a 106-bus AC-DC HDS under wildfire conditions, and the result shows the proposed model not only can improve the system resilience but also accelerate computational speed.","PeriodicalId":10729,"journal":{"name":"CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems","volume":"10 2","pages":"821-833"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10452302","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140351540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a simplified EMT modeling approach for the MAB-PETs by employing the generalized state-space averaging method. First, the switching function method and Dommel algorithm are used to build the equivalent model of each power module. Further, the PET equivalent model is presented in a multi-port PM polymerization mode. The system is simplified by applying Fourier Decomposition to its state functions by ignoring high-order harmonics. Finally, a four-port equivalent voltage source circuit is obtained. The proposed simplified equivalent model is compared with the detailed model in PSCAD/EMTDC.

However, existing ED studies rarely proactively optimize the control parameters of inverter-based resources related to fast regulation (e.g., virtual inertia and droop coefficients) in co-operation with other dispatchable resources to improve the system frequency security and dispatch reliability. This paper proposes a joint chance-constrained economic dispatch model that jointly optimizes the frequency-related inverter control, the system up/down reserves, and base-point power for the minimal total operational cost. In the proposed model, multiple dispatchable resources, including thermal units, dispatchable IBRs, and energy storage, are considered, and the (virtual) inertias, the regulation reserve allocations, and base-point power are coordinated. To ensure the system reliability, the joint chance-constraint formulation is also adopted. Additionally, since the traditional sample average approximation (SAA) method imposes a huge computational burden, a novel mix-SAA (MSAA) method is proposed to transform the original intractable model into a linear model that can be efficiently solved via commercial solvers. The case studies validate the satisfactory efficacy of the proposed ED model and demonstrate that the MSAA can save nearly 90% calculation time compared with the traditional SAA.","PeriodicalId":10729,"journal":{"name":"CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems","volume":"11 3","pages":"1030-1044"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10436595","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144243684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
