However, different directions can provide different VSMs and then the VSM may not be reliable. In dynamic security assessment is highly desirable to identify limit regions where the power system can operate safely and these regions can be defined based on the values of VSM. This paper presents an analysis to evaluate the impacts of load growth direction variation in the dynamic security assessment. A modeling of the system incorporating this direction variation based on areas is presented. A direct method is used to compute the stability margin of the power system for a given load direction. The analysis was performed in a reduced south-southeast Brazilian system composed of 107 buses.","PeriodicalId":148750,"journal":{"name":"2018 Workshop on Communication Networks and Power Systems (WCNPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127417807","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}

However, in multipath environments, several versions of a signal transmitted from the same source are highly correlated and consequently eigenvalue-based direction of arrival (DoA) estimation approaches are no more valid. This paper proposes to extend a previous framework with multipath mitigation for detecting and locating signal emitters in two aspects: (i) by considering the case of detection and localization of multiple emitters, and (ii) by including a decorrelation technique of the multipath components emitted from the same source. Simulation results show that the proposed framework is much more efficient than the previous one, presenting lower average localization errors and average angle of arrival errors when correlated signals are present.","PeriodicalId":148750,"journal":{"name":"2018 Workshop on Communication Networks and Power Systems (WCNPS)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134293465","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 this adaptive HELM it is not used a flat start, nor an aleatory Initial Guess, but a previous starting solution provided by an iterative method based on Newton Krylov subspace. It is proposed, to improve this Adaptive HELM-based strategy, applying the use of the BiCGStab (Bi-Conjugate Gradient Stabilized) method, preconditioning, incomplete LU factorization, and reordering strategy. The goal is to optimize this previous starting solution to assist Adaptive HELM methods for getting the final solution in the fastest way.

For this reason, grid operators invariably require wind farms to resist to voltage sags for a specified period of time. This paper presents a theoretical and simulation analysis of the dynamic performance of the doubly-fed induction generator signals behavior in case of symmetrical or asymmetrical voltage sag in the point of common coupling and performs an analytical assessment about the back-electromotive force during normal and fault operation. It is demonstrated that voltage fluctuations and, in general, any electromagnetic disturbances can cause peaks of considerable magnitude in the generator currents and voltages, which feature heavily oscillatory behavior with grid-related frequencies. Realtime digital simulation results are presented in order to verify the generator variables, highlighting the intrinsic aspects in case of faults.","PeriodicalId":148750,"journal":{"name":"2018 Workshop on Communication Networks and Power Systems (WCNPS)","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123212592","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 this paper, a discrete Fourier transform-based impedance estimation active method, available in the literature, was evaluated in an experimental platform of a three-phase photovoltaic system. The experimental tests were obtained through two actual case studies, including alteration of resistance and inductance of the grid impedance as well as by inserting linear and non-linear loads at the point of common coupling.","PeriodicalId":148750,"journal":{"name":"2018 Workshop on Communication Networks and Power Systems (WCNPS)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121018721","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}
