Synchronverter control technique for the inverter-based generation units is a well-known method within the virtual inertia generating approaches, which is introduced briefly. Its nonlinear behaviour leads to probable instability during transients, e.g. microgrid islanding. Adaptive control methods such as Backstepping design can cope with such nonlinear systems and avoid instability. The model of a generation unit controlled by the Synchronverter technique is found and an ancillary adaptive controller is designed to stabilize the unit performance using the Backstepping method. The simulations are done in MATLAB/SIMULINK and the results show the improved performance of the Synchronverter supported by the proposed adaptive controller.","PeriodicalId":182699,"journal":{"name":"2019 Smart Grid Conference (SGC)","volume":"318 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122362540","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}

Power flow management is one of the most important challenges which DC grids face in developing. DC power flow controllers (DCPFC) provide an appropriate solution to encounter with this challenge. This paper proposes a multiport cascade boost-buck converter (MCBBC) as an interline dc power flow controller with reduced number of switches and then evaluates the control performance of balancing and regulating the DC branch currents. A master-slave control strategy has been applied to the proposed MCBBC to appropriate performance. The control strategy has features that enable the proposed converter circuit to be developed as an N-port IDCPFC. In addition, the voltage regulation control approach is utilized to ensure the bus voltage regulation and it provides DC power flow control within the MTDC grid. To evaluate the performance of the MCBBC and the proposed control strategies, a 3-terminal DC grid have been considered.

To this end, optimal switch placement along with the optimal distribution line hardening strategies is proposed to mitigate the repercussions of the natural calamities. So, decreasing the failure probability of the distribution lines alongside the optimal placement of remote-controlled switches (RCSs) to increase the maneuvering capability of the system, the system operator would be able to strengthen the system and cope with disastrous events. To do so, in this paper, a proactive strategy is used to simulate the operation of the system in confronting the HILP events.

To achieve secure and reliable operation, the complexity of human automation interaction (HAI) necessitates more sophisticated and intelligent methodologies. In this paper, an adaptive autonomy fuzzy expert system is developed using gradient descent algorithm to determine the Level of Automation (LOA), based on the changing of Performance Shaping Factors (PSF). These PSFs indicate the effects of environmental conditions on the performance of HAI. The major advantage of this method is that the fuzzy rule or membership function can be learnt without changing the form of the fuzzy rule in conventional fuzzy control. Because of data shortage, Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation (LOOCV) technique is applied for assessing how the results of proposed system generalizes to the new contingency situations. The expert system database is extracted from superior experts' judgments. In order to regard the importance of each PSF, weighted rules are also considered. In addition, some new environmental conditions are introduced that has not been seen before. Nine scenarios are discussed to reveal the performance of the proposed system. Results confirm that the presented fuzzy expert system can effectively calculates the proper LOA even in the new contingency situations.","PeriodicalId":182699,"journal":{"name":"2019 Smart Grid Conference (SGC)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121042166","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}

Renewable energy sources, energy storage systems and responsive loads are suitable tools for reducing the power generation of fossil fuel units, which, in addition to high costs, produce environmental pollutants. To solve the AC power flow and see the effects of demand response programs on system losses, it is necessary to linearize the micro-grid constraints.

In power grids, phasor measurement units (PMUs) use GPS to build time-tagged measurements, so they are susceptible to this attack. As a result of this attack, sampling time and phase angle of the PMU measurements change. This paper presents a dynamic estimator to counteract the GPS spoofing attack. In this approach, the phase angle differences that result from multiple GPS spoofing attacks are estimated online, and the spoofed measurements are corrected. Since in the literature, most researches are devoted to static GPS spoofing attack detection, the proposed approach results are compared to the results of two recent static methods. Numerical results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in dealing with the attack compared to previous approaches.","PeriodicalId":182699,"journal":{"name":"2019 Smart Grid Conference (SGC)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124975936","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}

On the other hand, the traditional flexible power plants could not provide the ramp required in these systems. As a result, flexible local resources in independent entities like MGs should be employed to tackle this issue in these systems.
