With the evolution in inverter technology, DGs offer an optimistic solution to maintain the voltage profile by controlling its active and reactive power. Centralized voltage control (CVC) using the voltage controlling capability of available DGs in the distribution network is not a good solution due to the size of the DN. Additionally, perturbation at any DGs does not impact the voltage level at all buses equally. For maintaining the voltage profile at a few buses, power curtailment from all the DGs is not an economically fair solution for the utility grid. Therefore, decentralized voltage control is considered as a more practical and economical approach to maintaining the voltage profile at all buses. In this paper, novel entropy-based spectral clustering has been proposed to partition the DN. For implementing the proposed method, the impact of DGs on voltage deviation has been measured in terms of entropy. Further using entropy, spectral clustering has been performed. The proposed clustering decouples the distribution network in such a way that available DGs in clusters are capable of maintaining voltage profiles in the clusters. Further effectiveness of the proposed method has been done on IEEE 33 test system.","PeriodicalId":162808,"journal":{"name":"2022 22nd National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"99 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":"132346358","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 strategy models inverter-interfaced DGs as a leader-follower multi-agent system and uses communication weights to selectively realize the aforementioned conflicting objectives at the same time. Specifically designed for a microgrid equipped with multiple critical and high RP demand buses, the proposed controllers are proved to be finite-time stable using rigorous Lyapunov analysis, along with deriving an upper bound on the settling time.

It is used to forecast the operating states of a power system under one or more outages of generators, transmission lines, transformers, etc. To perform SSA, repetitive load flow analyses are required for obtaining the bus voltages, bus injections, and line flows considering each possible outage. A repetitive load flow analysis demands huge computational efforts like efficient system modelling for faster load flow solutions, parallel programming and High performance computing (HPC). In this paper, an N-1-1 CA has been analysed using fast decoupled load flow (FDLF) with a strategy of screening and ranking the catastrophic contingencies. This paper explores a computationally efficient method to analyze the severity and the ranking of N-1-1 contingencies for large power system SSA. The performance of the FDLF based SSA method is demonstrated on two standard IEEE 14 and 118 bus systems.","PeriodicalId":162808,"journal":{"name":"2022 22nd National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"67 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114011950","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 proposes a distributed scheduling algorithm with computationally heterogeneous EV agents under learning-aided alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The computational or communication delay between neighbouring EV agents is handled using asynchronous update of Lagrangian parameter. Moreover, an auto-regressive prediction model is developed for estimating the information lost due to communication disruption between EV agents. This ensures all agents are exempt from strict synchronization requirements between each other, thereby improving the time-complexity of the distributed algorithm. Simulations run for a typical EV charging station under a contractual power procurement limit, show that proposed algorithm reduces the iterations required for execution, while ensures improved optimality at convergence compared to uncorrected asynchronized ADMM.","PeriodicalId":162808,"journal":{"name":"2022 22nd National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"8 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":"114983463","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}

Several management studies focusing on active demand response through Electric Vehicle Aggregator (EVA) and active price signal design are presented but the provision of reactive response and pricing is neglected. This paper presents a hierarchical energy management strategy for Distribution System Operator (DSO) and Electric Vehicle Aggregator (EVA) in an Active Distribution Network (ADN). Bilevel programming approach is adopted, where the EVA provides reactive demand response to the distribution grid. The EVA is motivated by reactive Distribution Location Marginal Price (DLMP) provided by the DSO. The lower-level aims to minimize the operational cost of ADN considering system security, and the upper-level aims to reduce the total payment of EVA. The Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions are used to convert the bilevel model into a single-level optimization problem, and active/reactive DLMPs are computed using the lagrangian function’s derivation. A case study of IEEE 33-bus radial distribution system is considered to illustrate the proposed hierarchical optimization problem. The results are analyzed in terms of nodal voltages, impact of reactive pricing on the system economics and, on active DLMPs. The analysis of the case study indicates the proposed approach can improve the economic and physical system performance due to the introduction of reactive power pricing at the distribution level.","PeriodicalId":162808,"journal":{"name":"2022 22nd National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"22 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":"124916942","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}

Similar to the AC system, proper protection of HVDC requires both primary and backup protection. A single-end communication-free backup protection scheme for the MMC HVDC system has been proposed in the paper. Smoothing reactors placed on either side of the line serve as the boundary for the transmission line. The protection scheme utilizes the reactor power at a high frequency to identify the fault. Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is used to extract high-frequency current during fault which is further used to determine reactor power. The proposed algorithm initiates action on the detection of uncleared faults by primary protection. The method is proficient in differentiating between external and internal faults. Furthermore, the scheme neither requires data synchronization nor requires high sampling frequency. Thus, increasing the reliability of the protection system.
