Large consumers of electric power include electric boiler plants (the capacity of some of them reaches 120 MW); water supply systems of towns (large electric motors for water pumping); main gas pipelines (electric drive at compressor stations); and lighting loads. Such consumers cause high peak loads. In some deficient power systems, they can exceed the available capacity of power plants. In this paper, the possibility of regulation of magnitude and regimes of energy consumption at these consumers is considered and the effect of such regulation is determined.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

New technologies for protection and control schemes are therefore necessary to be introduced in order to maintain the system reliability and security to an acceptable level. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques naturally become the best choice to improve the performance of the present system used. Most faults which have infeed sources from both ends of the line, especially earth faults with fault resistance, are very difficult to identify. This paper presents a novel approach that can overcome the above difficulties. The artificial neural network (ANN) is used to identify the fault location, as well as the fault resistance in a wide range of system conditions. The training of the ANN is relatively simple and fast. The predicated results from the ANN are proved to be accurate for a wide range of system conditions.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

Its design relies on a hybrid direct-time-domain method called SIME. Basically, SIME assesses stability by transforming the multi-machine power system parameters into those of a one-machine infinite bus system, then by calling upon the equal-area criterion. Stability margins thus obtained are used to classify contingencies, select the \"interesting\" ones and, finally, rank and assess these latter. An 88-machine EPRI test system illustrates the technique and shows its ability to correctly handle the simulated contingencies, while complying with real-time computational requirements.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

Until recently such plants were used, almost exclusively, for emergency stand-by purposes; but this is no longer the case. In order to extract the maximum benefit from this situation improvements must be made in the control and protection features incorporated in these gensets. The automatic voltage regulator (AVR) has a key role in these future developments. This paper describes the development of a digital AVR which can replace the existing analogue AVRs traditionally used. Further, it describes the application of a fuzzy tuning scheme as an approach to resolving conflicting control requirements. Results of step demand, load acceptance and rejection tests are provided for the comparison of the performance of the digital AVR with that of the traditional analogue devices.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

An ANN-based pattern recognition method is used to perform static security assessment for power systems due to its potential in terms of speed and accuracy for online application. With the input pattern for ANN be composed of power system pre-contingency state described in busbar power injections (P, Q), the output pattern of ANN is composed of the performance index (PI) values of power system post-contingency state to a list of next contingencies. So the output vectors of ANN will indicate not only either 'secure' or 'insecure' state of the current system but also the severity of security limit violations under contingencies. To cope with the curse of dimensionality and improve efficiency of ANN, R-ReliefF algorithm is introduced to extract those variables that are with more discriminatory information from (P, Q) set to realise the nonlinear mapping from input space to output space. The proposed algorithm is tested on a 77-busbar practical power system with promising results.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

The method is distinctive by virtue of the fact that it takes account of the effect of transmission constraints. Since it does not rely on arbitrary slack node assumptions, but is based on a criterion of economic optimality, it produces cost-reflective market signals. The method is demonstrated to produce fundamentally different results from the conventional method. An example network is used to illustrate the method and a comparison is made between analytical and numerical results. This paper also presents an accurate way of calculating loss-adjusted nodal marginal prices, which does not rely on implicit slack node assumptions. It is shown that these prices can be approximated by initially ignoring the effect of losses and subsequently adjusting the resulting prices by the proposed constraint-adjusted transmission loss factors.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

Further, in this paper, a market simulation approach is described. Several agents are developed to simulate offer strategies. Each agent automatically analyzes market information, and based on its own characteristic, submits an offer to the power exchange. The simulator can be utilized as a decision-making tool for market participants.
