Then, a state transition model incorporating nodal power variation is derived from the approximate power injection model. The constant state transition matrix working on power variations only consists of nodal impedance, which reduces the extensive parameter tuning effort when facing different estimation tasks. Furthermore, an approximate branch power flow observation equation is proposed to improve the filtering efficiency. The observation matrix with branch admittance information presents the linear filtering relationship between power flow measurements and forecasted states, omitting the complex iterative updates of the Jacobian matrix for nonlinear measurements. Finally, the overall estimated voltage state at each time sample is entirely obtained by combining the filtered voltage perturbation vector with the priori-determined nominal value.

The behaviors of DERs differ from those of synchronous generators, particularly in abnormal conditions. For this reason, the power grid enforces grid codes to ensure that DERs perform properly in different conditions. For instance, short circuit faults and unbalanced grid voltage are severe transient events that inverters need to be able to pass through without disconnecting from the grid. Furthermore, the inverters are required to support the grid voltage by regulating the active and reactive power injections. This article proposes a voltage support control scheme to support grid voltage during asymmetrical voltage drop by utilizing an optimization problem. In this optimization problem, the active and reactive powers injected into the grid will be obtained optimally by considering constraints such as instantaneous active and reactive power oscillation magnitudes and peak current limitation. To aid in this purpose, the corresponding mathematical formulations such as instantaneous active and reactive power oscillation magnitudes will be obtained by using the currents and voltages in stationary reference frame.

This research introduces a fully decentralized multi-community peer-to-peer electricity trading mechanism, which integrates iterative auction and pricing methods within local electricity markets. The mechanism classifies peers in all communities on an hourly basis depending on their electricity surplus or deficit, facilitating electricity exchange between sellers and buyers. Moreover, communities engage in energy exchange not only within and between themselves but also with the grid. The proposed mechanism adopts a fully decentralized approach known as the alternating direction method of multipliers. The key advantage of this approach is that it eliminates the need for a supervisory node or the disclosure of private information of the involved parties. Furthermore, this study incorporates the flexibility provided by residential heating systems and energy storage systems into the energy scheduling of some prosumers.

To reduce the likelihood of such ignitions in high risk situations, utilities use preemptive de-energization of power lines, commonly referred to as Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). Besides raising challenging trade-offs between power outages and wildfire safety, PSPS removes redundancy from the network at a time when component faults are likely to happen. This may leave the network particularly vulnerable to unexpected line faults that may occur while the PSPS is in place. Previous works have not explicitly considered the impacts of these outages. To address this gap, the <i>Security Constrained Optimal Power Shutoff</i> problem is proposed which uses post-contingency security constraints to model the impact of unexpected line faults when planning a PSPS. This model enables, for the first time, the exploration of a wide range of trade-offs between both wildfire risk and pre- and post-contingency load shedding when designing PSPS plans, providing useful insights for utilities and policy makers considering different approaches to PSPS. The efficacy of the model is demonstrated using the EPRI 39-bus system as a case study.

Also, new state-action spaces are designed for sellers and buyers so that they can apply the Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) algorithm to converge to the best policy. A brief of this algorithm, which is for continuous state-action space, is described. First, this algorithm is implemented for a single agent (a seller and a buyer). Then we consider all players including sellers and buyers who can apply this algorithm as Multi-Agent. In this situation, there is a comprehensive game between participants that is investigated, and it is analyzed whether the players converge to the Nash equilibrium (NE) in this game. Finally, numerical results for the IEEE 33-bus distribution power system illustrate the effectiveness of the new framework for TEM, increasing sellers' and buyers' profits by applying SAC with the new state-action spaces. SAC is implemented as a Multi-Agent, demonstrating that players converge to a singular or one of the multiple NEs in this game.
