Battery energy storage system (BESS) is considered as one of solutions to this problem. In operation of the BESSs, their characteristics should be taken into consideration. For example, to extend the life time of the BESS, its state of charge (SOC) should not reach the upper or lower limit. In addition, efficiency of the BESS inverter is degraded when its output is low. In this paper, when multiple sets of BESSs and different kinds of BESSs are installed into a power grid, a new control method of the BESSs for load frequency control taking into account their characteristics is proposed. Numerical simulations for the multi-machine power system model are carried out to show effectiveness of the proposed control method. It is made clear that their total inverter loss can be reduced and all of their SOC can be always kept within the limits while contributing to the frequency control by the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":155801,"journal":{"name":"2014 Power Systems Computation Conference","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126990034","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}

Damping constant can be calculated for every 20 minutes cycles. However, it failed to explain how to calculate the damping ratio without associating the system to a SMIB Model. Furthermore, there was no way to verify the validity of the analysis since no network parameters could be included in the calculation. This paper promotes a novel approach in analyzing Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) data to identify out of step phenomena and the calculation of damping ratio by applying a Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) algorithm. A linear regression method is performed to extract the damping ratio from the wave skeleton. The validity of the method is verified by comparing the calculated and real data from mathematically generated signals with known parameters.","PeriodicalId":155801,"journal":{"name":"2014 Power Systems Computation Conference","volume":"340 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122477375","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 proposed control technique provides the continuous injection of active power in fundamental frequency from DG sources to the grid. In addition, reactive power and harmonic current components of loads are provided with a fast dynamic response; thereby, achieving sinusoidal grid currents in phase with load voltages, while the required power from load side is more than the maximum capacity of interfaced converter, is possible.

The time of a day that the load is available to provide frequency response without interfering with its inherent function was measured through field investigations by Open Energi. Based on the measured periods of availability, the number of frequency responsive loads to be aggregated for frequency response over a day was estimated. Decentralised dynamic controllers were then developed which enable loads to vary their power consumption in proportion to the variation of grid frequency. The availability of the dynamically controlled refrigerator and bitumen tank load for frequency response was modelled. Variation of the availability during a severe frequency incident was simulated. The results showed that the aggregated loads were able to provide dynamic response to grid frequency continuously and repetitively over a day.","PeriodicalId":155801,"journal":{"name":"2014 Power Systems Computation Conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121484044","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}

Network expansion comprises several alternatives for feeders and transformers. Analogously, the installation of distributed generation takes into account several alternatives for conventional and wind generators. Unlike what is customarily done, a set of candidate nodes for generator installation is considered. Thus, the optimal expansion plan identifies the best alternative, location, and installation time for the candidate assets. The model is driven by the minimization of the net present value of the total cost including the costs related to investment, maintenance, production, losses, and unserved energy. The costs of energy losses are modeled by a piecewise linear approximation. As another distinctive feature, radiality conditions are specifically tailored to accommodate the presence of distributed generation in order to avoid the isolation of distributed generators and the issues associated with transfer nodes. The resulting optimization problem is a mixed-integer linear program for which finite convergence to optimality is guaranteed and efficient off-the-shelf software is available. Numerical results illustrate the effective performance of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":155801,"journal":{"name":"2014 Power Systems Computation Conference","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129070430","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}
