In an inverter dominated power system, both grid-forming (GFM) and grid-following (GFL) inverters have a role to play in regulating system frequency/voltage and maintaining proportional power sharing through grid support functions. A self-sufficient power system can restore critical loads by forming microgrids (MGs) around black-start distributed generators (DGs). This work proposes a service restoration framework that adopts GFM inverters as black-start units and achieves load restoration in the context of dynamic MGs with automatic sectionalization and network reconfiguration. The proposed approach is structured as a two-layer framework consisting of an optimization and power systems simulation layer. Mathematical optimization models can only solve for the steady-state power equations. However, the associated dynamic transient response can cause instability in a weak power grid. Therefore, the optimization layer explicitly incorporates dynamic stability constraints developed from the power systems simulation layer. An optimal network reconfiguration sequence and power reference commands for DGs are generated during the restoration process. Moreover, a consensus based multi-agent distributed control is designed for coordination among GFM and GFL inverters. The approach is validated over a modified IEEE-123 node test feeder using real-time controller-in-the-loop simulation with OPAL-RT simulator.","PeriodicalId":165790,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Future Energy Solutions (FES)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134643903","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}

Electric vehicle parking lots (EVPLs) are an exceptional solution for managing the charging process of EVs. Moreover, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) feature has the potential of increasing the reliability of the power system, the profit of EVPLs (by providing ancillary services (AS)), and reducing the cost of EVs owners. In this paper, an incentive-based two-objective approach is suggested for optimizing the profit of EVPLs and EV owners (each vehicle individually) by participating in day-ahead (DA) electricity and AS markets at the same time.

Flexibility can be leveraged by aggregators to offer balancing and congestion management services to the power system. Then, existing infrastructure could be fully unlocked for normal operating conditions, avoiding or delaying reinforcement of the grid and at the same time allowing system operators to offer uninterrupted power delivery to end consumers at all times. In this context, two energy applications targeting distribution and transmission operators (DSOs and TSOs) are presented with the purpose to offer services and insights to their operational and planning strategies. The first application performs a medium-term assessment, utilizing probabilistic Monte Carlo power flow calculations to locate potential faults and their impact on reliability, and then planning solutions are proposed assuming flexible capacity is used. The second application offers short-term congestion management with flexibility procurement, utilizing generation and demand forecasts and power flow calculations, also proposing a prioritization scheme between DSOs and TSOs.

We collect images from a solar plant using a rotary-wing drone equipped with an onboard thermal camera. The captured images are processed using a photogrammetric pipeline that stitches the images together producing a georeferenced thermal orthomosaic. The solar panels are digitized, extracted from the orthomosaic, labeled into 4 classes, augmented using transformations acting on their geometry and radiometry then utilized to constitute a dataset to train from scratch and validate a developed deep learning classifier. The latter consists of a convolutional neural network architecture comprising two core blocks: (1) a convolutional block that produces multi-level feature maps from the images, followed by (2) a multi-layer perceptron block that classifies the constructed feature maps according to the considered categories. The final developed model scores an F1-score of 98.2% on our validation sub-dataset, which confirms both its high performance and generalizability on additional data.

To achieve this, it is proposed a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for production and maintenance scheduling of flexible job shop manufacturing environments. The proposed GA takes into account volatile market energy prices, Renewable Energy Resources (RERs), surplus energy selling, maintenance activities, and constraints imposed on the production plan. A case study from the literature is used as a baseline scenario to validate the proposed scheduler. It uses real-production data and considers three unique machines with 275 tasks to be scheduled among them. Using the baseline scenario, it was possible to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed scheduler in reducing total costs, by taking advantage of the volatility of energy prices, as well as utilizing RERs to cover energy expenses or for selling excess energy. Furthermore, it highlights the ability to reduce the overload of single machines. Accordingly, it was possible to achieve cost reductions of up to 11.0% and improvements of 24.4% in machine longevity when compared to the baseline scenario.","PeriodicalId":165790,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Future Energy Solutions (FES)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129160589","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}

Given the importance of maintenance and inspection for wind farms, creating a system for detecting safe time for these operations with low lightning probability is very useful. In this regard, by analyzing local meteorological data (pressure, temperature, wind speed, wind direction and humidity) and the lightning location system data an intelligent warning system for lightning hazard in a wind farm is developed based on machine learning methods.

All forms of Electric Vehicles can assist in improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. Electric Vehicles are considered the most environmentally friendly option for transportation in the future as compared to IC engines. The working, performance, and range of Electric vehicles depend on the efficiency of traction of battery packs. Lithium-ion batteries are considered the most preferred kind of electric vehicle battery because of their high efficiency, long cycle life, and specific energy (Wh/kg). To have a better range, there is a need of maintaining the efficiency and health of Battery packs which may impact due to several parameters. Temperature is the main parameter that needs to maintain at the highest priority to maintain the range of the vehicle. To enhance performance, safety, and efficiency under various operating states, the temperature of the traction battery pack must be kept within its optimal operating temperature range. For EVs, battery management plays a vital role in getting the optimal performance and life cycle of battery packs. In this paper a modified layout of thermal management of Lithium-ion battery packs for the pure electric vehicle has been discussed with the help of MATLAB simulation which helps to maintain the optimal temperature range in three states of battery i.e., Charging state, driving state, and discharging state.","PeriodicalId":165790,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Future Energy Solutions (FES)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133558759","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}

Traditionally, these systems are controlled by conventional, mainly static set points, but research has shown that substantial energy savings can be achieved by applying adaptive ones. This work aims to showcase the lower energy consumption achievable when employing adaptive over static approaches, using empirical data from a non-residential living lab.
