The conventional MPPT algorithms fail to track global MPPT under partial shading conditions. The NM algorithm mainly consists of four operations (reflection, expansion, contraction, and shrinkage) which aid in the rapid convergence of all the particles to a global optimum. This results in a negligible steady-state error. The two-stage PV system is modeled and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed system, it is compared with the perturb and observe and particle swarm optimization method. The NM algorithm converges in an average time duration of 0.25 s with an efficiency of 99.85%. The proposed two-stage system performance has been improved with the reduction in steady-state oscillation when compared with the conventional method.","PeriodicalId":162808,"journal":{"name":"2022 22nd National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129755590","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}

This paper aims at developing an online coherency detection algorithm. The development of coherency can significantly reduce the computations required for performing stability studies and produces accurate results. Coherent group formation is influenced by the type and location of the disruption. Model reduction approaches are widely employed with large-scale complicated power systems to improve the performance of simulations. The Dynamic Time Warping algorithm was tested, and results have been shown. An assessment of DTW has been seen.

Therefore, this paper proposes an optimal power flow (OPF) model for economical, effective reactive power reserve (EQR) procurement in the MTDC-AC systems. The model consists of two stages. The first stage generates economic active-power base-case dispatch points. The second stage is a multi-objective function that maximizes the EQR while minimizing the deviation of active power from its economic base case obtained in stage 1. Compared to the existing models, the constraints for this OPF model are simplified with a modified Y-Bus matrix. This modification includes the converter AC buses in the conventional Y-Bus matrix. Two variations of the proposed method are presented, one for constant reactive power reserve (CQR) and another for EQR. These two models are compared with three existing methods. The model is implemented on the IEEE 14-Bus system for validation.","PeriodicalId":162808,"journal":{"name":"2022 22nd National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114883865","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}

India is also aiming to make renewables, the major source of power to meet its ever-increasing power demand. At present, while the total solar installed capacity of the country is around 58 GW with a daily average generation of around 200 MU, the North Eastern Region (NER) of the country has only 204 MW of solar power installed capacity as in the year 2022. Assam is one of the leading states in NER for installing solar photovoltaic (PV) independent solar parks connected to high voltage systems with an installed capacity of 199 MW. There is a huge potential in NER for adding more solar power capacity in the future. In this paper, Block-wise (15-minutes) Day ahead Solar Power generation is forecasted for Rowta PV plant in Assam using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Random Forest (RF) methods for a week considering the available weather data of NER. The objective of this paper is to provide a reliable method of forecasting for System Operators and Generating utilities that can ease the process of day ahead solar power forecasting. In terms of overall forecasting error, LSTM emerges as the better forecasting technique compared to Random Forest method. The approach is validated through SCADA data from Rowta PV plant. The performance of LTSM method is further compared with NARX with exogenous input method, another popular ANN method in the field of forecasting. Forecast results by these two methods for a day have also been presented in this paper.","PeriodicalId":162808,"journal":{"name":"2022 22nd National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"435 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133467408","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 validation procedure is compared with every considered regression method, leading to 9 such combinations. Each combination is analysed with statistical parameters like RMSE (Root Mean Square Error), R Squared, MSE(Mean Square Error), MAE (Mean Absolute Error) and training time. The best approach is further optimised by modifying hyper parameters using Bayesian, Grid Search, and Random Search and most suitable method is proposed. The simulations are performed in Python and MATLAB platforms. The best combination for computation of STLF is K-fold validation with Tree Regression The statistical parameters obtained from the combination are RMSE, R Squared, MSE, MAE and training time of 0.077, 0.88, 0.0059, 0.046, 1.2 respectively.

The charging schedule of EVs can be coordinated by an EV Aggregator (EVA) through appropriate price signals. This paper presents an optimal scheduling framework for EV clusters using Time-of-use (TOU) price. Firstly, the EVA aggregates the total demand corresponding to the vehicle's arrival and departure times for optimal power scheduling using clustering algorithms. The accuracy of cluster-based aggregation plays a vital role, hence this study adopts the advanced clustering technique: spectral clustering algorithm, to accurately cluster the EVs. However, the optimal EV scheduling is motivated by dynamic prices like Real-Time Price (RTP) and Time of Use (TOU) but the acceptance rate of RTP is quite less due to its highly volatile nature. Hence, the proposed work focuses on the optimal scheduling of EV clusters based on TOU prices. For this, the historical data of RTPs are considered for TOU price design using hierarchical clustering. For the case study, 500 EVs are aggregated using spectral clustering and compared with the traditional k-means. The aggregation results are analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) decomposition; highlighting the increased accuracy of aggregation in terms of time. Further, the optimal scheduling of EV clusters is achieved based on the proposed pricing and aggregation strategies.","PeriodicalId":162808,"journal":{"name":"2022 22nd National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"33 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123570270","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}

Physical models require numerical equations that account for specific physical attributes and characteristics of building envelope materials. While the physical models are advantageous in describing heat transfer mechanisms, they are time-consuming, require expertise, are difficult to make proper assumptions and may not adapt to environmental or socio-economic variabilities. Hybrid models have similar drawbacks as physical models and require expertise and improper assumptions. But, data-driven approaches build models based on statistical data and overcome the shortcomings of model-based and hybrid approaches. Due to these advantages, data-driven approaches have gained popularity in recent years. In this context, this paper attempts to summarise and develop an overarching view of data-driven approach for building DR.

In this technique, the ratio of negative to positive (RNP) sequence post-fault current phasor is defined for fault detection. The trajectory of the ratio outside the specified security region decides the occurrence of the fault, i.e., forward or reverse unsymmetrical faults. Simulation results are carried out considering the different values of fault resistance and fault location with various unsymmetrical faults. These simulation trials have been conducted using PSCAD and MATLAB 2019a software. The comparative analysis with previous similar proposed techniques is presented.
