Stochastic load profiles for individual households were produced using the bottom-up ‘Stochastic Residential Occupancy Behavior’ (StROBe) model. The self-consumption of households with PV installations and the district-level peak demand are examined as properties relevant for the estimation of PV hosting capacity and accompanying grid-related problems. The comparison shows that while the synthetic profiles produce reasonable estimates of simultaneity and summer peak demand, they insufficiently represent the seasonal variations. In addition, self-consumption is overestimated by the model. The observed discrepancies can be traced back to inaccurate modeling of the peak timing and seasonal variation in individual peak load and simultaneity. Furthermore, vacant homes in the measured data are found to contribute significantly to discrepancies in holiday periods. Adjusting the stochastic modeling to account for these vacant homes results in improved performance of the model. This research demonstrates that harvesting the full potential of bottom-up stochastic load modeling would require more up-to-date information on residential electricity use patterns.","PeriodicalId":126918,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS)","volume":"1 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":"129336467","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 rapid growth in the use of EVs increases the challenges to satisfy their charging demand using existing power system resources. Therefore, a method to quantify the EMHC of power systems to EVs is required to plan for system improvements and ensure maximum utilization of resources. In this work, a method to calculate the EMHC of power systems to EVs is developed based on variable charging/discharging rates. The EMHC is calculated for charging stations at both homes and workplaces. The charging/discharging rates are varied based on daily energy demand and parking durations of EVs and network constraints. The parking duration is calculated based on probability distribution functions (PDFs) of arrival and departure times. The energy required to travel each mile and PDF of daily travel distances are used to calculate the daily energy demand of EVs. The optimization problem to maximize the hosting capacity is formulated using a linearized AC power flow model. The Monte Carlo simulation is used to calculate the EMHC. The proposed method is demonstrated on the modified IEEE 33-bus system. The results show that the daily EMHC of the modified IEEE 33-bus system varies between 20-41 cars for selected nodes.","PeriodicalId":126918,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS)","volume":"13 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":"125647274","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}

A novel optimization framework is proposed to model the MPSs dispatch while considering a set of scenarios to capture the uncertainties in distributed energy resources in the system. The optimization model is then convexified equivalently and linearized into a mixed-integer linear programming formulation to reduce the computational complexity and achieve a global optimality.

Scheduling the building based on a proposed measured-peak (MP) grid tariff, which is a cost based on the highest peak power over a period, requires the user to consider the impact the current decision-making has in the future. Therefore, the authors propose a mathematical model using stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) that tries to represent the long-term impact of current decision-making. The SDP algorithm calculates non-linear expected future cost curves (EFCC) for the building based on the peak power backwards for each day over a month. The uncertainty in load demand and weather are considered using a discrete Markov chain setup. The model is applied to a case study for a Norwegian building with smart control of flexible loads, and compared against methods where the MP grid tariff is not accurately represented, and where the user has perfect information of the whole month. The results showed that the SDP algorithm performs 0.3 % better than a scenario with no accurate way of presenting future impacts, and performs 3.6 % worse compared to a scenario where the user had perfect information.","PeriodicalId":126918,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS)","volume":"374 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":"122605397","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}

Currently power system planners perform analysis to ensure adequate levels of reliability following contingencies such as loss of a substation. However, existing planning standards do not explicitly mandate studies of the redistribution of EV charging demand that would take place in the case of extreme events. Planning to serve the charging demand from EVs during extreme events is paramount to ensure the resiliency of the grid. This paper presents a novel framework for power system planners to reflect the impact of EV evacuations on grid resiliency during wildfire events. The method consists of resiliency analysis coupled with probabilistic models of load redistribution taking into account potential evacuation routes. A case study using the 2019 update to the IEEE 24 bus Reliability Test System (RTS) is performed to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed strategy. The framework results in a more specific resiliency trapezoid that reflects a more realistic resiliency behaviour of the system.","PeriodicalId":126918,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS)","volume":"43 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":"117078359","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 approach is based on the fact that most planning studies utilize some form of optimization, and solutions to these optimization problems provide insights into the sensitivity of many system variables to operating conditions and constraints. However, most of the existing sensitivity-based planning criteria do not capture ranges of effectiveness of these solutions (i.e., ranges of the effectiveness of Lagrange multipliers). The proposed method detects the ranges of effectiveness of Lagrange multipliers and uses them to determine optimal solution alternatives. Profiles for existing generation and loads, and transmission constraints are taken into consideration. The proposed method is used to determine the impacts of DERs at different locations, in presence of a stochastic element (load variability). This method consists of sequentially calculating Lagrange multipliers of the dual solution of the optimization problem for various load buses for all load scenarios. Optimal sizes and sites of resources are jointly determined in a sequential manner based on the validity of active constraints. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through several case studies on various test systems including the IEEE reliability test system (IEEE RTS), the IEEE 14 and 30 bus systems. In comparison with conventional sensitivity-based approaches (i.e., without considering ranges of validity of Lagrange multipliers), the proposed approach provides more accurate results for active constraints.","PeriodicalId":126918,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Probabilistic Methods Applied to Power Systems (PMAPS)","volume":"44 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":"115241319","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}
