The load value that represents the varying load with time is needed to be estimated for reconfiguration because the system is reconfigured in non-real time. Specially, as the power system develops as the smart grid, the amount of distributed generations is increased. Since the variability of distributed generations’ output is higher compared to normal generations, it is important that which representative value is used for variable output when an algorithm performs. In addition, the reversed current caused by distributed generation should be considered. In this paper, we propose a method to choose representative value considering distribution generation and variable load and also a constraint considering the reversed current. By this method, we study the distribution system reconfiguration for reliable and efficient operating.","PeriodicalId":150994,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Council on Electrical Engineering","volume":"360 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133200924","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}

A stepwise inertial control (SIC) scheme instantly increases WTG output to arrest the frequency drop for a preset period upon detecting a disturbance. After arresting the frequency drop, the output is rapidly reduced to recover the rotor speed. The reduction could cause a power deficit to the power system, which in turn results in a second frequency dip (SFD). This paper proposes an SIC scheme that can improve the frequency nadir (FN) and maximum rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) while minimizing an SFD. To achieve this, a reference function is separately defined prior to and after the FN. To improve the FN and maximum ROCOF, the output is instantly increased by adding a constant, which is proportional to the rotor speed, and maintaining it until the FN is reached. To minimize an SFD, the output is slowly reduced with the rotor speed.
