Parameters are some physical characteristics of two motors such as weight, cost of raw materials, including electrical and magnetic flux density, torque, power losses, efficiency output power and yield. Physical features of two motors can be calculated with different materials regard to the size and bulk density And to calculate the remaining cases has been used of transient finite element method. At the outset will be proved that the weight of the Prius engine is less than reluctance synchronous motor. However, due to the exist a permanent magnet in raw material structure of the Prius motor, the prices of this motor is higher than reluctance synchronous motor. Finally, according to the outputs magnetic of two motors will be proved that the synchronous reluctance motors has appropriate conditions to use in electric and hybrid vehicles is highest.","PeriodicalId":141250,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Electrical Power and Energy Conference (EPEC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125329794","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}

These products will be cleared sequentially on separate market platforms, and at different lead times. This paper describes the situation faced by a TSO when determining its need for balancing energy from different reserve products. It also proposes an opportunity-cost based valuation strategy to optimize the volumes obtained in the different markets, thereby minimizing balancing costs.","PeriodicalId":141250,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Electrical Power and Energy Conference (EPEC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129390687","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}

If EVs charging and discharging is managed properly, V2G systems can support many services such as peak load leveling, demand response, renewable energy integration and various ancillary services. Ancillary services support such as frequency regulation is a very costly process, which is conventionally done through spinning, non-spinning reserves, back up generators, etc. EV batteries are considered as clean and reliable sources to support frequency regulation. However, the charging/discharging process should be optimized to maximize the benefit for both the EV owners and the utility. In this paper, we develop and solve an optimization problem that minimizes the cost of charging and discharging EVs while supporting frequency regulation. Our optimization problem takes real-time pricing, battery wear and other parameters into account to generate the optimum solutions for individual time slots. We formulate and solve the problem using mixed integer linear programming to minimize the cost of providing this service.","PeriodicalId":141250,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Electrical Power and Energy Conference (EPEC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124528838","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}

Compared with traditional wind power models such as Weibull distribution model, the BP neural network model is closer to the actual probability distribution of wind speed according to numerical results. By using Monte Carlo method, the AC/DC hybrid system states are obtained. Then considering the interaction between AC and DC system, a novel minimum load shedding model of hybrid system with HVDC is proposed.

In order to evaluate their impacts on power system, the concept of resilience is introduced. On the basis of existing resilience assessment methods, this paper develops a series of quantified resilience assessment indices, consisting of both system-level indices and component-level indices, as well as relevant assessment approach. With the system-level indices, the overall resilience of power system can be estimated. Based on the component-level indices, weak points of the system can be identified. Accordingly, the corresponding improving schemes can be raised to enhance the resilience of the original system. Finally, the proposed approach is tested on the IEEE RTS-79 test system under different disruptive events, and then the optimal improving scheme of this test system is determined based on the obtained resilience indices.","PeriodicalId":141250,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Electrical Power and Energy Conference (EPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125456070","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}

Based on the P-median and the Min-max models, we developed a data-driven method to evaluate the system efficiency and service quality. We also conduct a case study using GPS trajectory data in Beijing, where various location strategies are evaluated from perspectives of system efficiency and service quality.
