In addition, the power flow must consider uncertainties in a probabilistic framework. Probabilistic power flow has a high computational cost due to the need to assess a large number of states and the use of iterative methods for nonlinear systems. Consequently, it is interesting to develop linear power flow algorithms for islanded microgrids. The main aim of this paper is to propose a linear power flow algorithm based on the Gauss Zbus method for islanded microgrids. This algorithm was used to evaluate voltages and angular frequency in a probabilistic power flow method based on Monte Carlo Simulation. The test results with the proposed method demonstrated that it achieves high accuracy and significant computational cost savings (about of 99%) over the Newton-Raphson Method.","PeriodicalId":126918,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS)","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117274724","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}

Lower variance estimates from fewer years of data can be obtained. In this paper, we explore what can be achieved with this new Bayesian hierarchical approach using real utility data.

In the early 2000s, Sweden introduced its first economic incentive scheme regarding continuity of supply (CoS) for power distribution system operators (DSO). For this purpose, the NRA began to collect power outage data from each DSO on an aggregated level. A few years later, in 2005, a severe hurricane struck Sweden that highlighted the vulnerability of the Swedish power system, resulting in a new regulatory framework related to power outages. To be able to effectively monitor the CoS in Sweden, the NRA began in 2010 to collect data on power outages on a customer level. Since 2012 a new revenue cap regulation with economic CoS incentives was implemented with major revisions from 2016 and 2020 respectively.The amount of detailed data available enables the NRA to closely monitor the CoS in the Swedish power grid. As a result of the stricter rules on power outages, there have been major investments in more reliable power distribution systems over the past decade. A positive tendency can be seen even if the CoS fluctuates from year to year due to e.g. weather events. The CoS is slightly better for years with mild weather and the impact on the CoS is less negative for years with severe storms, even if it is still far from good enough. The aim of this paper is to publish statistics with some concluding remarks from the NRA. We believe that sharing our experiences from Sweden may be of value for others, e.g. when developing new laws and regulations. The paper also contributes by informing about available data related to Swedish power outages for others to use when comparing countries or developing probabilistic models.","PeriodicalId":126918,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116211267","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}

Besides, Hamilton-Jacob-Bellman (HJB) equation is introduced, to make users figure out their control trajectory individually by solving a personalized partial differential equation. Different from classical HJB applications, the system dimension is reduced by a broadcast signal, which relieves the computation burden. The case study is done with a 103 nodes realistic LVDN, with a benchmark done by centralized optimization algorithm under ideal conditions, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":126918,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS)","volume":"218 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134356244","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}

Variability of wind can be mitigated using various methods including deployment of energy storage systems (ESS), aggregation of geographically diverse wind, and the use of flexible loads. This paper proposes a novel method for reducing the variability of wind power by both deploying ESS and aggregating geographically diverse wind production. Although the aggregation of geographically diverse wind can reduce its intermittency to some extent, the benefits of this approach are limited due to a number of factors which are discussed in this paper. ESS, on the other hand, have been widely used for variability mitigation of wind and achieving reliability targets. However, ESS projects are expensive. In this context, this paper studies the impact of reliability enhancement of a system and the reduction in storage size by aggregating wind power from geographically diverse wind farms. The proposed approach is validated by performing sequential Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) using the IEEE Reliability Test System data. Results show that aggregation of geographically diverse wind can significantly reduce the size of ESS required for improving the reliability of the system.","PeriodicalId":126918,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132076501","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}

We first build a physical model based on the linearized three-phase power flow manifold, which links the network parameters with the smart meter measurements. The parameter estimation problem is then formulated as a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) problem. We prove that the correct network parameters yield the highest likelihood value.

The electricity market operator must account for these changes to effectively plan the system’s demand, supply, and adequacy for various scenarios. This paper proposes a simplified methodology to create a probabilistic model of demand and supply which can be used to model resource adequacy as a function of temperature. This adequacy model is then translated to describe adequacy by duration of need. This description can then inform the duration of service needed from limited energy storage resources to reduce the probability of load being unserved. We first use a Bayesian additive model to infer the relationship between demand and available capacity as function of temperature. We then calculate the probability for when demand will be greater than supply for each unit increment of temperature. This probability can be described as a binomial random variable of demand being greater than supply for that hour. Finally, we estimate the duration of need by approximating the sum of binomial random variables for the day. With this methodology, one can rapidly simulate various supply mixes by fuel type to understand its effects on the final duration of need.","PeriodicalId":126918,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125461839","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}
