The proposed research aims at developing a tool to forecast, with an adequate lead time, the main characteristics of the voltage sags caused by lightning phenomena in active distribution networks. The development of the tool requires methods for supporting decisions under uncertainty, the short-term forecasting of lightning affecting distribution systems and the modeling of: i) the lightning overvoltages and flashovers on overhead lines; ii) the line insulation withstanding characteristics to lightning overvoltages; iii) the impact of distributed generation contribution in short-circuit operating conditions; and iv) the voltage sags characteristics.

The considered frequency measurements range from 0 to 40th harmonic order with both positive and zero sequence supplies. In this overall harmonic interval and with both supplies, the comparison between measurements and MCA results highlights a very good agreement (maximum differences of 10 %). These differences are negligible if measurement uncertainties are considered.","PeriodicalId":138886,"journal":{"name":"2021 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131332752","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}

In particular, in case of system-wide oversupply or local transmission constraints, the grid operator could reduce or restrict energy production from renewable generation plants for some periods, lasting minutes to hours depending on the meteorological condition and corresponding loading of the power system. In this context, this paper presents a model based on an artificial neural network approach for wind power nowcasting based on real-time measurements data exchanged between the wind energy producers and the Italian transmission system operator. The developed model can be a valuable aid for the system operator and can be integrated into future tools designed to support grid operators for the real-time management of the wind generators during the curtailments, for having greater control of the wind parks when returning to service. A real case example is used to show the usefulness and effectiveness of the developed methodology.","PeriodicalId":138886,"journal":{"name":"2021 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"227 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114186105","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 most typical and critical generation/demand conditions have been recreated on the Sicilian grid for 2030 and checked.

The comparison is applied in forecasting of the most significant RES present in the Sicily zone (Italy), i.e., solar sources. To this aim, using the data of Gestore Servizi Energetici (GSE), both the AR and ANN architectures are built by exploiting the information available in time period 2010 − 2015 in terms of temperatures and solar irradiation, thus obtaining a power forecasting for 2016 for each country of the Sicily zone. The performances of the two different methods are compared on the basis of both Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) values.

Line admittance measurements are used to identify the operating temperature of underground cables. Several factors affect the conductor temperature, such as overload currents, variations in environmental conditions, the health status of the insulating materials. All these situations increase the cable temperature and, consequently, the resistance of the conductor. When the electrical parameters of the cable change, the frequency response also changes and, in this work, a monitoring system based on a machine learning technique is used to classify its magnitude and phase. The monitoring method here proposed uses a feed-forward multilayer neural network with multivalued neurons in order to classify the working temperature of the cable allowing the prevention of catastrophic failures.","PeriodicalId":138886,"journal":{"name":"2021 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130009922","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}
