The proposed method of equivalent duration looks at peak-serving from an energy perspective and interprets the capacity of a resource as its ability to serve a certain MW amount of the peak. This allows taking into account specific technical characteristics of ESR, which in turn alleviates constraints on their ability to participate in the capacity market.","PeriodicalId":182098,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122645928","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}

Moreover, a novel robot development for transmission line aerial inspection is investigated. The objective is to create a prototype of a mobile robot for inspecting transmission lines. The robot can move along an OHGW and automatically pass through obstacles. Also, the inspection robot can record data of a transmission line with both online and offline modes.

However, interoperability analysis is very time-consuming and error-prone since tasks must process tens of gigabytes (GBs) of network packet data. Therefore, the challenge we face is how to efficiently analyze interoperability. To address this challenge, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed an interoperability analysis tool for International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850-9-2 standard-based merging units (MUs). This paper introduces a software tool that can parse IEC 61850-9-2 packet data from a packet description markup language (PDML) file and automatically analyze the interoperability of IEC 61850-9-2 sampled value (SV) messages based on the IEC 61850-9-2:2011 protocol. The interoperability analysis includes data analysis of the media access control (MAC) layer, link layer, and application layer of IEC 61850-9-2 SV messages. This tool has successfully been used to analyze nineteen sets of IEC 61850-9-2 SV messages collected from both commercial physical and simulated MUs provided by seven vendors at the 2017 Utilities Communications Architecture International User Group (UCAIug) IEC 61850 Interoperability (lOP) Testing and Plugfest event.","PeriodicalId":182098,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115263579","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}

However, smart meter data collected and stored by utilities are normally 15-, 30- or 60-minute in granularity, making most NILM methods ineffective. This paper presents a novel sequential energy disaggregation (SED) algorithm for extracting heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) energy consumptions from residential and small commercial building loads using 30 min smart meter data. Large, infrequently-used loads are first detected and removed from the total building energy consumption. Then, base energy consumption curves, defined as the energy consumption without heating and cooling loads, are identified using the mild-day method. After that, the heating and cooling loads are extracted using an average value subtracting method. Simulation results with real data show that the proposed SED method is computationally efficient, simple to implement and robust in performance across different types of buildings.","PeriodicalId":182098,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT)","volume":"192 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124263746","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}

In addition, a significant part of the energy globally consumed could be attributed to the building sector. Thus, to develop the expandable micro-grid clusters (EMGCs), the authors investigate optimal facility planning in the building energy management system (BEMS), which is one of the important component of EMGCs. To optimize the total facility cost of BEMS, the hybrid optimization of multiple energy resources, i.e., HOMER, a simulation tool developed by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), is applied. A BEMS is simulated using photovoltaic generation, battery storage, a converter, and a load. The authors vary the eight types of battery capacity and investigate the correlation among the whole system for optimizing the facility configuration by minimizing the facility's lifecycle cost. The simulations reveal the optimal facility configuration that minimizes long-term costs.","PeriodicalId":182098,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125596871","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 results show important differences in the impacts of PRLs between integrated T&D and T-only models. Experiments with the synthetic integrated T&D dataset demonstrated that integrated T&D simulation revealed notably larger differences between the PRL and no-PRL cases for load, and prices compared to T-only simulation. Similarly, differences are observed between the price response of individual buildings and distribution feeders and the corresponding transmission bus in the integrated T&D simulations, which are difficult to capture in traditional T-only simulations.","PeriodicalId":182098,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130059039","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}

Unlike utility voltage control devices, such as on-load tap changers and switched capacitors, smart inverters can provide fast and continuous voltage regulation. This paper describes a new Volt-Var optimization scheme that coordinates the utility control of switched capacitors and on-load tap changers with Volt-Var droop control of smart PV inverters. A voltage-load sensitivity matrix is used to form a linear relationship between control variables and bus voltages. A successive linear programming technique is applied to transform the original mixed-integer nonconvex programing problem into a sequence of mixed-integer linear programming problems. The proposed Volt-Var optimization model is validated on a 47-bus distribution circuit and the results show that the method is effective in improving voltage regulation as well as reducing the operations of on-load tap changers.","PeriodicalId":182098,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133217998","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}
