To this end, two Matlab-embedded applications are developed using the graphical user interface (GUI) environment of Matlab. The former provides synchrophasor estimates that are processed and stored by means of a phasor estimation algorithm and a database, respectively; meanwhile the latter consists of a power system modal monitor application that is able to capture the modal information corresponding to low frequency oscillations (LFOs) in power systems. Also, the DIgSILENT PowerFactory environment is employed for running EMT simulations, whose results provide instantaneous signals to the phasor estimation stage in Matlab. Finally, results exhibit a WAMS simulator dealing with a LFO captured by PMUs, showing the performance of three traditional technique for identifyina electromechanical modes in power systems.","PeriodicalId":175719,"journal":{"name":"2019 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123972340","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 problem is formulated as a Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP) and solved using commercial optimization solver CPLEX. Feasibility of the scheme is demonstrated using different network models, constraints, message injection rates, and initial conditions. It is shown that the proposed approach can be used to generate an optimal link schedule for collecting user-generated bids in a transactive energy market in the least possible time.

The control objectives are to suppress voltage fluctuations and to maintain voltage at nominal levels in different parts of power system within ANSI C84.1 limits (or ±5 % tolerance). Voltage fluctuations are mainly caused by disturbances such as random power load changes and loss of major equipment. These disturbances degrade voltage/power quality and could lead to catastrophic voltage collapse and black out. SVC itself can regulate voltage flicker but its robustness against the disturbances is inadequate. Therefore, an active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) is applied to the SVC system for enhancing its performance. The ADRC is independent of the accurate mathematical model of the SVC system and able to compensate for external disturbances in real time. An ADRC is implemented on the power system with SVC in Simscape Power Systems. Simulation results demonstrate that the ADRC reach the control objectives successfully, and have superior performance to PI controller in disturbance rejection. In addition, the stability of the control system is justified. The comparison between both PI and ADRC is discussed.","PeriodicalId":175719,"journal":{"name":"2019 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124600322","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}

Due to the limited availability of renewable energy sources e.g. solar, considering the energy storage system e.g. battery, is a must in this process. Electric Vehicles (EVs) as a major consumer of batteries, have a considerable influence on the power grids. Therefore, smart charging profiles of the electric vehicles as a battery storage system, play a significant role in the residential sector of energy management. Considering the notable share of the residential sector in the electricity demand market along with renewables growth, potential impacts of residential solar and batteries especially EVs on the stability and operation of the power grid should be taken into account. In this paper, we develop an optimization equation to investigate the effect of the electricity tariff on a residential customer's load profile in the presence of an electric vehicle. To simulate the EV trip, an imaginary load profile based on EV consumption rate has been defined. Results show that the customer's load profile is highly affected by the electricity tariff and the algorithm of EV connection to the grid.","PeriodicalId":175719,"journal":{"name":"2019 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131004689","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 presents a two-stage algorithm for optimal energy scheduling of BESS interfaced with RES. Initially, a multivariate linear regression-based estimation of voltages, currents, and network active power loss is performed using a synthetic dataset generated from the network model. Thereafter, a linear programming (LP) formulation is used to determine the output power of the BESS aimed at maximum peak-shaving and valley-filling, based on predicted day-ahead net demand and solar photovoltaic (PV) output. BESS technical and experimental constraints are considered in the model for an improved lifetime of the batteries. Compared to nonlinear approaches, the linearized model would reduce computational complexity and time, while maintaining reasonable accuracy. The linear programming model is solved using MATLAB, and the proposed algorithm is implemented on a real-world distribution feeder modeled in OpenDSS. The results show a significant reduction in peak demand, net demand variation range, and voltage variability caused by intermittent PV output.","PeriodicalId":175719,"journal":{"name":"2019 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127892094","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 is due to market activities, complex controls, and power supply intermittency that is caused by the integration of renewable energy sources. This paper proposes an online CS scheme for power systems voltage stability analysis (VSA) using deep neural networks (DNNs). The DNN model receives a snapshot of the power system status from state estimator. This snapshot contains information about the current topology of the system, the voltages at different buses and the loading of lines and generators. The model is trained to classify the state of the system as secure (stable) or insecure (unstable) under different system loading and contingency conditions. Three power system security constraints were considered: (1) the MVA loading of lines and generators is less than 110% of its rated value; (2) the voltage magnitude at the buses is within limits; and (3) the power flow solution is converged. Violating any of these conditions, the power system is considered insecure. Contingencies that lead to insecure operation are sorted in a list based on the number of violated conditions for further analysis. The proposed scheme is tested on the ISO New-England IEEE 39 bus system. The test results show that the proposed scheme is suitable for online applications.","PeriodicalId":175719,"journal":{"name":"2019 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126440629","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 method incorporates four practical costs, considering the convexification of the constraints, economic parameter variation, and the interconnected electric and transportation networks. To better quantify the charging demand, the nested logit model is deployed. Meanwhile, we relate the public information of house prices with EV growth when assigning the weights. Furthermore, we also design the software that enables EV charging station placement.

The critical component of an EV is the battery. For accurate estimation of the state of charge (SOC) and maintaining the battery in operating region a battery management system (BMS) is implemented in EV. In literature various methods hava been proposed for SOC estimation, however, it has disadvantages such as accumulative error problem, high computation cost, complex algorithm. Another limitation is that the impact of factors such as the temperature, internal chemical composition and charging/discharging rate of battery on SOC is not considered. In view of this, the paper proposes a method to analyze the impact of these factors on SOC for its accurate estimation. For highlighting the impact of the temperature on the SOC, the temperature coefficient is proposed in this paper. A state space model of battery is developed by introducing a temperature coefficient in the existing battery model. For increasing the accuracy of estimating the SOC, an extended Kalman filter is used.
