They provide reliable protection for the transmission lines. However, increasing proliferation of distributed energy sources may violate established relay coordination. This is caused by changes in fault current levels at the fault points, and thus coordination time interval of the relays are violated. This basically means that primary and backup relays do not operate in coordination with each other. Thus, it is vital to optimizing the relay settings in accordance with changing fault current levels. This paper proposes agent-based adaptive coordination mechanism of relay settings acquired by heuristic optimization algorithms in case of 19 bus IEEE test feeder with the presence of distributed generations.","PeriodicalId":158839,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Smart Energy Systems and Technologies (SEST)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128642085","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}

Thus, while using the DC operation voltage dip caused by either a fault in the upstream or downstream networks can be mitigated. In the case of voltage dips, the Voltage Source Converters (VSCs) must be able to ride-through the events to avoid a system short-interruption from a transient event. The aim of this paper is to broaden current knowledge for the case of a dip at the MV/LV substation at the point common coupling (PCC), where the VCSs should work to maintain the DC-side voltage and potentially also feed in reactive power to the upstream fault in order to minimize the dip penetration. Having this in mind, the DC-link is used to maintain the network throughout these events, thus an upstream dip should not have whichever effect on the medium voltage distribution network or even trip the system through its philosophy protection. Moreover, this paper sheds new light on the switching operation and its advantages through performance tests conducted in a smart grid laboratory using the flexible AC/DC-link in MV level.","PeriodicalId":158839,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Smart Energy Systems and Technologies (SEST)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115741901","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}

Therefore, an efficient disturbance detection method is required in order to provide relevant information regarding its ocurrence. However, there are many difficulties detecting disturbances throughout traditional data extraction methods. These methods have not been able to perform the detection process with the efficiency, speed and accuracy required for this type of work, due to the non-stationary and non-linear behavior of these disturbances. In this study, the Hilbert-Huang Transform and the Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network model are implemented in order to detect and classify disturbances in power quality. Eight common types of disturbances were analyzed based on the parameters stated in the IEEE 1159 standard. By means of instantaneous frequencies and intrinsic mode functions of each disturbance, the neural network is trained for the classification of these disturbances. The implemented method reached a precision percentage of 94.6, demonstrating the versatility and great potential that this method provides when detecting disturbances in power quality.","PeriodicalId":158839,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Smart Energy Systems and Technologies (SEST)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125757614","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 evolution of the simulations able to study them brought to the possibility of defining new models that can consider power consumption profiles for different types of user (MAT, AT, MT, BTE, BTN-2, BTN-1) but, in order to better match consumption and production energy curves, highly precise predictions of loads' profiles are still needed. This goal can be achieved also thanks to the study of the price elasticity factor. A way to obtain it will be examined in this paper: price and power absorption variations will be considered because elasticity is defined as the ratio of their relative variations before and after DR. This work focuses on the profiles of price variations $mathbf{Delta} mathbf{P}$ with respect to the absorbed power variation $mathbf{Delta} mathbf{Q}$: users indeed are expected to vary their consumptions according to different values of remunerations. Ranges of elasticities have been evaluated to study the behavior of $mathbf{Delta} mathbf{P}$ profiles for the more representing users. Finally, economic consequences of load regressions have been analyzed.","PeriodicalId":158839,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Smart Energy Systems and Technologies (SEST)","volume":"os-11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128083315","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 BMG main grid interaction aspects are assured by the two upper control level throughout a hierarchical model predictive control, whereas the power sharing among all electric vehicles is ensured via a deterministic state machine.

In this context other resources such as renewable power plants and electrical loads should be involved to provide ancillary services on the basis of new markets rules. Specifically, electrical loads should modify their consumption patterns thanks to the possibility to earn money from the participation to ancillary services markets in competition with traditional power plants. This work proposes a market for the resolution of congestions where electrical loads are also involved. The study partly simulates what will actually happen in the Italian ancillary services market (MSD), where electrical loads will be active players. From a technical point of view, congestions are resolved by selecting the load's bids using technical-economic indices calculated from the Transmission Loading Relief (TLR) sensitivity analysis.
