The reason lies in the stall of SPIMs caused by low voltage. During stalling, a SPIM can withdraw as high as three times of its rated power. This phenomenon can cause many problems including the loss of critical load due to the action of protection devices. This paper explores the role of reactive power support during MG islanding and proposes a novel approach to managing the reactive power generation of electronic-interfaced distributed generators (EIDGs). The concept of sensitivity factors is used in the proposed algorithm for regulating voltages at weak load buses. The optimal sharing of reactive power among EIDGs is formulated as a linear programming problem, which can be solved in a very fast manner for real-time control purpose. The proposed method is validated on a MG test-bed evolved from the IEEE standard 13-bus test feeder.","PeriodicalId":161074,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition","volume":"20 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":"115102391","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 recent years National Grid has responded to a large number of events in its Massachusetts service territory including Tropical Storm Irene and Hurricane Sandy. National Grid, along with MIT, has built a statistical model which predicts localized interruption patterns based on weather forecasts, asset information, historical damage patterns, and geography. National Grid expects that this will become an important tool in its emergency response preparations. This paper will discuss the predictive model which will aid National Grid in its preventative emergency planning efforts. A machine learning predictive algorithm was built by considering physical properties of the network, historical weather data, and environmental information to predict outages, and ultimately damage, based on weather forecasts. The machine learning algorithm will continuously improve in granularity and accuracy through its continued use and the incorporation of additional information. As a data-driven model it provides an invaluable tool for decision making before a storm, which is currently motivated primarily by intuition from industry experience.","PeriodicalId":161074,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition","volume":"3 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":"115398789","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}

Newton Raphson 3-phase current injection formulation was employed to model the impact of V2G on voltage profile. The model shows that V2G alters the voltage profile of the system. A superfluity of different operational scenarios and cases (with different V2G penetration levels) are considered. IEEE 13 Node test feeder networks was modeled in Radial Distribution Analysis Package (RDAP). System studies showing the impact of considerable V2G penetration on steady-state behavior of the IEEE feeders are presented. The load flow results provided information on the impacts of V2G on the voltage profile of the unbalanced network. Results show that for a given penetration level, 3-phase and system-wide V2G integration result in improved voltage profile than 1-phase integration. The results will be useful in distribution system planning and operation, especially as V2G penetration increases.","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":"124846807","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 acceleration trend relay currently in use in the US western interconnection is an example of RAS that trips generators to maintain transient stability. Recently, a new distributed hierarchical control (DHC) architecture was proposed for multi-area power systems. In this architecture, local decentralized governor controllers were developed to improve the frequency stability. In this paper, the integration of RAS to the newly proposed DHC is investigated. Specifically, the interactions of RAS with local decentralized robust governor control are analyzed. The influence of the decentralized robust governor control on the design of RAS is studied. Benefits of combining these two schemes are increasing power transfer capability and mitigation of RAS generator tripping actions; the latter benefit is shown through simulations.","PeriodicalId":161074,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition","volume":"13 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":"122552601","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}

Thereby not only the heat and storage constraints in the households are considered also limitations of the low and medium voltage grid can be taken into account. With a numerical simulation of the LVPP the storage potential over the year is calculated. It is shown that the storable energy has only a marginal dependency on the temperature. The mean storage energy is about 2MWh per 1MW installed μCHP.

All of the semiconductive shield compositions were found to be crosslinkable, contain similar levels of carbon black to be conductive, meet volume resistivity and physical properties required by IEC specifications and considered suitable for MV cable applications. The cables made with compound containing more protrusions and total chemical impurities had a much shorter characteristic life, less retained breakdown strength even as low as 7.8 kV/mm, and would be expected to have much less reliability than the cable with high quality semiconductive shields. The combination of these critical performance factors clearly indicates that semiconductive shields of poor quality can drastically reduce the effectiveness of an insulation material to achieve an expected long lifetime cable.","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":"125534905","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}

Base on the strategy, the net-load fluctuation of next period is estimated according to the newest wind power and load prediction information, the reference power of wind farm can be determined combined with the adjustment capacity of AGC.
