The algorithm speeds up the design of power systems as its computations can be executed independently on a highly parallelized environment. Additional speedup is achieved by using a surrogate model to estimate the objective function in regions of suspected local optima. The estimated functions can be used in the subsequent stages of post-optimization studies, such as sensitivity analyses. Comparative studies, in terms of computation time, are conducted against sequential execution of the proposed algorithm. The optimal design of a VSC-HVDC transmission is described to demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":155315,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM)","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123293850","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}

After the deterministic equations being solved by conventional methods, the means and variances of PLF random variables can be easily obtained and the probabilistic density functions of relevant variables can be estimated by Monte Carlo simulation. The load flow equations in rectangular form are adopted to avoid high order truncation errors of the expansions of PLF equations. Compared with other analytical PLF methods, this method preserves the nonlinearity of the load flow equations and hence can achieve better accuracy, which are verified by the case studies of a 9 bus system.","PeriodicalId":155315,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122302675","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 issue addressed within this paper is to estimate β in this context. Accurate estimation is important for power system modelling or Automatic Secondary Reserve (ASR) design. We propose a method to estimate Frequency Response Characteristics based on measured and simulated frequencies. In this paper, we propose an iterative optimization method to obtain high resolution data from low resolution measurement. Based on the high resolution data, β is estimated with a σ approach. Then, we use linear regression to estimate the normal Frequency Containment Reserves (FCR). The proposed methods are tested in a Nordic Synchronous Power System case. Results show that our methods can give accurate estimations of frequency response characteristics and FCR.","PeriodicalId":155315,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126918381","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 objective of the proposed long-term power system planning is to minimize the total costs of investment and operation for the base case with forecast values while considering variable cost from uncertainties.

This paper propose to design zonal pricing in distribution network according to the concept of pricing equivalence (PE). The rules of the zonal pricing are derived. We prove that equivalent load shift from demand response can be achieved by zonal pricing if pricing equivalence is deployed. Convex AC optimal power flow (OPF) is used to calculate zonal prices. The benefits of convex AC OPF are more accurate energy pricing and global optimization target. The responsive load with passive load controllers are modeled and solved in GAMS platform. Different zonal pricing approaches (PE, reference node and average of nodal prices) are compared. IEEE 14-bus network and two IEEE 13-node networks are connected to be an illustrative test case offering numerical results. The results show that zonal pricing designed according to PE can achieve the same load shift effects and quite close consumer payments as nodal pricing. PE outperform other zonal pricing approaches prominently in congested network situations.","PeriodicalId":155315,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115314149","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}

Each converter arm of a SB MMC is consisted of half the self-blocking sub-module (SBSM) and half the half bridge (HB) sub-module. This hybrid design achieves the DC fault isolation capability without significantly increase of the cost and power loss. The detailed electro-magnetic simulation of SB MMC with hundreds of voltage levels is time consuming. Since a SBSM can be negatively inserted, the dynamics of SB MMC are different from HB MMC under DC fault condition. The conventional equivalent models of HB MMC are not sufficient for SB MMC. To solve the above challenges, an equivalent electromagnetic model for SB MMC is proposed and verified in this paper.","PeriodicalId":155315,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115870804","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}
