However, as shown in this paper, a local industrial load with induction motors jeopardizes this fact and superimposes low-frequency oscillations on the outputs of the weak grid-connected VSG. Detailed small-signal models of a weak grid-connected VSG are developed and compared in the absence and presence of a local industrial load. This study shows that dynamic loads, e.g., induction motors, weaken the VSG damping and limit the stability ranges of the droop gains and virtual inertia constant, limiting the VSG’s features and grid-supporting capabilities. Therefore, an active compensator is proposed to regain the VSG’s damping and stability under weak grid conditions. With the proposed damping and stabilization compensator, the VSG dynamics and stability are highly improved under wide ranges of droop gains and virtual inertia. Multiple offline simulations and real-time tests are carried out to justify the existence of dynamic interactions between a VSG and an industrial load, considering diverse load compositions, and verify the proposed compensator’s effectiveness in enhancing the overall system performance and stability under practical conditions, such as load switching, faults, and grid angle disturbances.","PeriodicalId":13331,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid","volume":"16 2","pages":"1434-1447"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142832444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

GFDF employs GNNs on graphical representation of MGs, augmented with a multi-head attention mechanism, to accurately assimilate dynamics associated with fault events by learning node embeddings. This approach effectively assigns weights to the neighboring nodes based on their contributions, ensuring resilience to abnormal data and adaptability to changing operating conditions. GFDF uses current measurement of single end of each line and line parameters as graph node and link attributes, respectively. Additionally, this paper proposes a robust intelligence-based centralized protection scheme (ICPS), intended to address the failure of legacy protection infrastructure in MGs caused by various logical and physical reasons. It utilizes decisions made by GFDF with accelerated computation throughput using dedicated hardware (GPU-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650) to meet stringent protection time requirements. A comparative assessment of GFDF with the existing techniques, and the implementation of ICPS on medium voltage CIGRE MGs through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experimentation, leveraging real-time digital simulator (RTDS) setup, and commercial SEL relays to emulate realistic operational environments, validates the practicality of the work.","PeriodicalId":13331,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid","volume":"16 2","pages":"1975-1992"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143451679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PDNs suffer from a lack of real-time topological information due to insufficient data on switch statuses and an increasing number of switching actions caused by reconfigurations and the control of distributed energy resources (DERs). On this basis, in this paper, a novel near real-time TD method for PDNs is proposed. This method is built on a specialized graph neural network (GNN) design using data from micro-phasor measurement units (<inline-formula> <tex-math>$mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>PMUs), leveraging the strengths of both graph-based learning and conventional deep learning (DL) approaches. More specifically, the developed TD method implements a novel dual-graph structure GNN (DGS-GNN) model to transform the TD problem into an inductive link prediction task for a multi-graph dataset. During the training phase, a node attribute similarity graph is created, and the resulting node embeddings are aligned with the actual topology graph (ATG) using a structure-aware loss function. In the inference phase, however, unlike standard GNN models that require structural information as input, the ATG is recovered based solely on node attributes. The developed method enables TD using a limited number of phasor measurements with low inference time and superior generalization capability for unseen scenarios. Its strong performance in large-scale PDNs with varying configurations, as well as its robustness to uncertainties from DERs and noisy environments, is demonstrated on the IEEE 33- and 123-Bus benchmarks and a standard 240-Bus test system. The proposed method outperforms its DL-based counterparts in scenarios where full or partial system topology should be detected.","PeriodicalId":13331,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid","volume":"16 2","pages":"1833-1850"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142782557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, a bi-level stochastic model that incorporates combinatorial uncertain scenarios in spatial-temporal-event dimensions is formulated. To address the intractable large-scale mixed integer lower-level models, we also provide a clustering method in iterations to project scenarios onto all possible binary decisions. The number of binary decision variables and scenario-related state variables in lower-level models is thus significantly reduced without losing accuracy at the same time. Further, we extend enhanced Benders decomposition to a hot start nested form to be compatible with both inner-loop mixed integer linear subproblems and outer-loop linear security assessment subproblems. Mathematically, the proposed method can rapidly converge to practical and optimal choices for candidate capacities within finite iterations.

Such real-time data may inadvertently disclose the identities and activities of power users. Data aggregation has been identified as a viable solution to this challenge, enabling data centers to obtain only the aggregate power consumption data without accessing individual user information. However, most existing aggregation methodologies are limited to multi-dimensional data aggregation and fail to ensure user privacy, data integrity, and authentication. In this study, we propose a ring signature based multi-dimensional and multi-subset aggregation (LPPMM-DA) scheme. This proposed method allows the data center to compute both the total power consumption and the number of users within each subset across various dimensions. Based on the hardness assumption of the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP), the ring signature utilized in our scheme is demonstrably unforgeable against adaptive chosen message attacks within the random oracle model. A comprehensive analysis indicates that the proposed scheme meets the security requirements for data aggregation in the smart grid context. Furthermore, performance evaluations reveal that the implementation of this scheme results in lower computational and communication overhead compared to existing related approaches.","PeriodicalId":13331,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid","volume":"16 2","pages":"1801-1816"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142776797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
