Load uncertainty is modeled by distribution function. Uncertainty in the reactive power availability of existing and new reactive power sources is modeled through probabilistic constraints with a ρ-quartile measure. The taps settings of the under-load tap-changing transformers are modeled as discrete settings. The problem solution in this paper includes a reasonable number of possible future scenarios that calculate a set of solutions which allow to find the best flexible planning and adapting to future scenarios of power system operation such that the planning has found local optimum solution quality. The tradeoff between risk mitigation and cost minimization is analyzed. The efficacy of the proposed model is tested and justified by the simulation results using the CIGRE-32 electric power system.","PeriodicalId":161074,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition","volume":"266 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133833371","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 spring stores mechanical energy. When opening and closing instruction are entered in the GCB, the solenoid pushes the trigger, and mechanisms move so as to release the compression force of the spring at a high speed. A compact and light-weight mechanism is required for high-speed operation of the GCB. This means that the high-speed operation must be analytically investigated. We made a mechanical dynamics model of the whole GCB, including an FEM modal analysis. The dynamic simulator incorporates a solenoid electromagnetic field analysis and a gas pressure analysis of puffer chamber in the mechanical dynamics model. The operating characteristics of the GCB were analyzed with the simulator and measured in an operating experiment. The analytical results were in good agreement with the experimental results, and this proved that the simulator can be used to estimate the operating characteristics and appraise the stability of operation. The dynamics simulator can shorten the time it takes to design compact and light-weight GCB.","PeriodicalId":161074,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133509796","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, the loads, substation voltage, and PV output are modeled at a finer resolution using data from advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and a network of data acquisition systems (DAS), and by employing a zone division method. The results from power flow analysis at specified conditions such as highest penetration case as well as results from time series analysis over an extended period of time show good correlation with field measurements.

As the integration of renewable power generation increases, the total available generation capacity of the system will be more derated due to the effect of equipment failures and the intermittent nature of these resources. Therefore, it is critical to determine optimum renewable generation capacities and provide enough reserve margin to meet the target reliability of the microgrid. In this paper, we first model a microgrid, including conventional and renewable distributed generation and the loads. Second, we determine the renewable generation capacity required to meet growth in demand at a certain level of grid reliability through a generation adequacy study. Adequacy of the microgrid is evaluated using parameters such as loss of load probability (LOLP) and expected energy not served (EENS). Third, the impact of different conditions, such as wind speed diversity (captured by correlating the wind power output), a combination of wind and solar power, and load diversity, on generation adequacy is studied through sensitivity analyses. Finally, the optimum renewable generation capacities are determined such that the total cost of generation and unserved power is minimized. The optimization process is based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method which uses Monte Carlo (MC) simulation for generation adequacy studies in each iteration.","PeriodicalId":161074,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117003619","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}

Under the forcing policy, the wind generation will be guaranteed to be purchased in the wholesale market if wind generators bid at their marginal price. However, a forcing policy may lead to infeasibility if wind spillage is not allowed. The numerical results in this paper show that integrating more wind generation may lead to market inefficiency or more greenhouse gas emissions, e.g. CO2. To test this hypothesis a deterministic unit commitment was solved by AMPL by modeling power markets and calculating operating costs. With the consideration of the start-up costs and ramping emissions, the cost of emissions is compensated by the generators.","PeriodicalId":161074,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122120070","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}
