{"title":"Smart links for distribution networks: The right way to further integrate renewables","authors":"A. Gómez-Expósito, J. Maza-Ortega, E. Romero-Ramos, A. Marano","doi":"10.1109/POWERENG.2011.6036571","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/POWERENG.2011.6036571","url":null,"abstract":"Distribution systems, and more specifically medium voltage (MV) networks, have not reached the automation level and technological sophistication of transmission systems. In fact, the introduction of the smart grid concept simply recognizes the urgent need and opportunity to improve the performance of distribution networks, in view of the new challenges they are facing nowadays. MV systems, being structurally meshed, are however radially operated. Until recently, the absence of any generation at this level has invariably led energy to flow from the substation to distribution transformers. This significantly simplifies both the operation of these systems and the design of the protection equipment. Owing to the need of assuring back-up supply, radial feeders are customarily oversized so that they can serve, at least partially, the load of neighboring feeders in case of fault. In this context, the growing presence of dispersed generation (DG) is, on the one hand, reducing the spare feeder capacity, leading in many cases to congestions, and, on the other, complicating the operation and protection schemes. The use of power electronic devices is seen as a promising way of enhancing both asset utilization and massive DG penetration, much in the same way HVDC systems were introduced decades ago at the transmission level. More specifically, in this work smart links between MV feeders and tap changers for distribution transformers, both based on electronic devices, are considered and assessed on actual distribution systems. These devices are sized and placed during a preliminary planning stage in order to maximize the dispersed generation that can be accommodated and/or the system loadability. Then, during the operational stage, the associated control variables are scheduled according to a new optimization problem intended to balance the load among bridged feeders or to minimize power losses. A simplified economic assessment is also included in order to prove that these smart devices can be a profitable investment, not only for utilities but also for the owners of DG.","PeriodicalId":166144,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132244603","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}

One of the main advantage of adjustable speed generators is that they improve the system efficiency compared to fixed speed generators because turbine speed is adjusted as a function of wind speed to maximize output power. However this systems requires a suitable speed controller in order to track the optimal wind turbine reference speed. In this work, an adaptive robust control for variable speed wind power generator is described. The proposed robust control law is based on a sliding mode control theory, that presents a good performance under system uncertainties. The proposed sliding-mode control law incorporates an adaptive switching gain, which avoids having to calculate an upper limit of the system uncertainties that is necessary in the traditional sliding-mode control laws. The stability analysis of the proposed controller under disturbances and parameter uncertainties is provided using the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally simulated results show, on the one hand that the proposed controller provides high-performance dynamic characteristics, and on the other hand that this scheme is robust with respect to plant parameter variations and external disturbances.","PeriodicalId":166144,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125441651","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 PWM power supplies are used in industrial applications such as motor drive application. The work in progress is at the boundary of two distinct fields: communication and high currents. Firstly, we underline the limits of functioning of the PLC modems on a PWM power supply. Subsequently, a filtering solution employing passive filters is discussed. Finally, the development of a new modem dedicated to PWM power supply is presented and inserted in a motor drive application. Experimental results show the ability of the modem to transmit high-speed information in such power supplies. The Bit Error Rate (BER) is measured for different power of the transmitted signal.","PeriodicalId":166144,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129438536","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 high frequent influence to the whole power train is evaluated with a view to the electrical and mechanical components. This influence is determined in reference to a comparison between a symmetric pulse wide modulation and a stator orientated hysteretic control (bang-bang-control). As electrical drives for electric vehicles need to have a wide speed range and likewise be robust the chosen control processes are checked out by using a permanent magnetic synchronous machine (PMSM) [1, 2, 3, 4]. This also offers the opportunity of a gearless drive which by the way offers a big advantage in comparison to combustion engines. For best comparison settings the energy source is realized by an ideal voltage source. To connect these components there is an inverter which builds up three-phases and likewise a rectifier in the opposed direction with a set of IGBTs and integrated antiparallel diodes. The command signal is set by the same conditions as in an traditional car by the torque demand of the acceleration pedal.","PeriodicalId":166144,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"604 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116372914","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 investigation is extended to the case of multiphase alternator arrangements suitable for supplying a different number of output rectifiers. The study is conducted through tests on an alternator prototype which has been operated with two kinds of rotors, one with and the other without damper circuits.
