Therefore, power distribution systems need an acceptable level of reliability and resiliency because of their main responsibility to supply the loads in an adequate and secure manner. This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming formulation to allocate the remote control switches with the aim of improving reliability indices in normal situations, followed by resiliency improvement. Two resilience criteria are minimized in an MILP formulation as follows: the experienced interruption time by consumers and the interruption cost of all affected consumers after disasters. The presented formulation is solved by CPLEX solver and applied to bus four of RBTS. The results show the fruitfulness of the proposed linear model for both reliability and resiliency purposes.","PeriodicalId":182699,"journal":{"name":"2019 Smart Grid Conference (SGC)","volume":"56 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":"116466672","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}

Distributed secondary control based on dynamic averaging consensus algorithm has been recently introduced in the literature as a viable solution. This approach, not only provides a good voltage regulation, but also guarantees load sharing will be done according to the nominal capacity of agents among the microgrids units. However, This solution is based on time-triggered communication that led to high communication burden by unnecessary data exchanging. In this paper, to prevent needless data-exchanging, the abovementioned distributed secondary controller is equipped with an event-triggered communication strategy. This need-based communication strategy reduces the communication load, considerably. The system stability analysis under the event-triggered strategy is evaluated using the Lyapunov's stability approach. The proposed strategy is applied to a DC microgrid and its performance is validated under communication disturbances and different working conditions using Simulink/ MATLAB environment.","PeriodicalId":182699,"journal":{"name":"2019 Smart Grid Conference (SGC)","volume":"12 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":"125337916","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 proposed control system consists of two separated paths including voltage and frequency control loops to generate amplitude and phase of the reference voltage for SVM, respectively. The voltage control path contains only one PI controller in αβ frame. Also in frequency path, a proposed transfer function and a P-f droop curve are used to generate the reference frequency for SVM considering transfer functions of prim-mover, governor and synchronous machine.

The self-healing capability of the network can help in improving security. In this paper, the self-healing is achieved by introducing a multi-criteria optimization model, where the solution is chosen after the evaluation of technical indices. In the presence of a fault, network reconfiguration is one of the feasible methods for implementing the self-healing policy in distribution networks. The objective function of this method is evaluated by implementing reliability indices, active power losses, branch load limits, and voltage deviation limits after reconfiguration. Considering these objectives, three cases are defined which have different arrange from objectives. Also, by aggregating the functions, which convert a multi-objective problem into a single equivalent objective, the appropriate topology of the IEEE 17-bus distribution system after appearance a fault is suggested and compared with Pareto solutions of the multi-objective problem.","PeriodicalId":182699,"journal":{"name":"2019 Smart Grid Conference (SGC)","volume":"1 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":"116062472","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}

Flexibility in a comprehensive sense tries to cover the amount of imbalance between production and demand in energy systems. This paper has attempted to introduce the concept of operational flexibility in microgrids and it also has presented a step-by-step algorithm to assess this operational index based on a linear optimization model.

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) electricity markets make new opportunities for such agents to trade energy with other participants in the power grid. An efficient design of P2P market mechanisms and related computational issues has gained considerable attention in recent years. However, despite the importance of the grid operation and technical constraints under P2P markets, they have attracted less attention. In this paper, we propose a method for P2P markets to improve the technical parameters of the power grid. The proposed method employs penalty functions as incentives for peers to participate in power loss reduction and congestion management. The proposed approach is tested on an 11-bus radial distribution network. The simulation results show a considerable reduction in power losses along with congestion elimination.","PeriodicalId":182699,"journal":{"name":"2019 Smart Grid Conference (SGC)","volume":"35 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":"127400748","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 need for electricity is increased considerably concurrent with the advances in technology, industry development, and population rise. The smart grid provides solutions to the current obstacles of power system operation, including reliability, environmental sustainability, and energy efficiency challenges. Hence, the smart grid is considered as a new structure to deal with operational problems. In this study, the restructuring plan of Iran's distribution network into a smart grid configuration is proposed, in which various scenarios such as the integration of smart metering systems, hybrid electric vehicles, smart buildings, distributed generation sources, energy storage facilities, and demand-side resources have been investigated. The energy balance sheet of Iran-2014 and the data of the last 20 years are employed as the reference energy system. The LEAP software is applied for the long-term planning of the targeted scenarios. The results show that if the smart grid plan is implemented in Iran until 2050, the greenhouse gas emission and energy consumption will be reduced. The conclusions express that the total generation of primary energy carriers will be alleviated, which will provide an improvement of 14.59% and an economic save of $32.2 billion.","PeriodicalId":182699,"journal":{"name":"2019 Smart Grid Conference (SGC)","volume":"1 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":"122276423","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 order for objects to be connected to the internet, they should have an address, so that they can be detected and tracked. Since the number of these objects are very large and never stop growing, addressing space should be used, which can respond to this number of objects. In this regard, the best option is IPv6. Addressing has different methods, the most important of them introduced in this paper. The method presented in this paper is a hybrid addressing method which uses EPC and ONS IP. The method proposed in this paper provides a unique and hierarchical IPv6 address for each object. This method is simple and does not require additional hardware for implantation. Further, the addressing time of this method is short while its scalability is high, and is compatible with different EPC standards.","PeriodicalId":182699,"journal":{"name":"2019 Smart Grid Conference (SGC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128615680","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}
