The first part of this paper explains the basic concept of frequency control. Then new method to determine operating reserve requirement is supposed with consideration of interrelationship among different reserves under a simultaneous co-optimization scheme of various ancillary services.

This paper mainly focuses on solar energy as it is the most abundantly available renewable energy source. This paper basically presents a smart controller based design for cost effective operation of solar-grid tied LVDC system. The control strategy used in this system helps to achieve the maximum efficiency as utilization of dump power is also considered. This system is defined to fill the necessity of regions where solar power is used only as backup purposes to charge the battery and is actively dumped during the presence of active grid. The system has been tested for a solar panel with a battery backup storage and its effectiveness has been observed. The battery backup is made to operate during the Grid cutoff.

A comparison between both technologies is carried out using a model that combines market economic parameters and energy performances obtained from the thermodynamic analysis. Indicator such as specific cost of power generation has been determined for different capital cost scenarios. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to determine the effect of governing parameters on the economics. The results show that KCS-11 performances are superior to those obtained with ORCs under the same operating conditions. The overall efficiency based on the energy content of the thermal effluent is in the range of 2.4% to 8.5% depending on the heat source temperature. In addition, results reveal that a specific net power output of 16kW per ton of aluminum annual production is technically achievable and a specific cost of power generation around 6¢/kWh appears to be feasible.

This paper addresses the effectiveness of NR in smart distribution systems while considering intermittency in load and generation among distribution buses. In addition, the load diversity that exists among distribution buses due to load class mix of diverse customers is considered. Proposed method is applied on the benchmark IEEE 33-bus test distribution system to investigate the relevance of conventional NR over day-ahead reconfiguration. The application results reveal that proposed reconfiguration strategy may be more convenient and useful to distribution system operators.

The proposed controller has the advantages of terminal sliding mode control (TSMC), grey predictor (GP), and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The TSMC can force the system tracking error to converge to zero in finite time, but the chattering and steady-state errors still happen. The GP is thus employed to lessen the chattering or reduce the steady-state errors when system uncertainty bounds are overestimated or underestimated. Also, the control gains of the TSMC with GP can optimally be tuned by the use of the PSO for achieving more precise tracking. Experimental results on a single-phase inverter laboratory prototype controlled by a digital-based controller are given to conform that the proposed controller can lead to low total harmonic distortion (THD) and fast dynamic response under rectifier-type loading conditions and fast dynamic response under step change loading conditions.","PeriodicalId":13951,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Energy","volume":"34 1","pages":"186-190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81982029","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}
