The confidentiality concerns of exchanged IoT data cannot be ignored since industrial IoT devices are embedded in many critical control applications where the protection of intellectual property is very important. A physical layer-based security approach for industrial IoT devices is presented in this article to achieve defined levels of information confidentiality against eavesdropping, and a coordinated transmission strategy is proposed for industrial IoT devices threatened by eavesdroppers. Building on a spectrum-sharing communication scheme, the industrial IoT devices collaborate to cause defined levels of signal outage on eavesdropping devices, limiting the eavesdroppers’ ability to decode the transmitted signals of the IoT device of interest. The analytical and numerical results in this article demonstrate the feasibility of the coordinated transmission strategy and the ability of the industrial IoT devices to achieve target signal quality and confidentiality security levels.","PeriodicalId":183284,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Texas Power and Energy Conference (TPEC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125596689","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}

Consequently, it is extremely essential to understand how their fast-acting controls interact with existing traditional machine controls and protection elements at a high level of fidelity. While real-time simulators allow the modeling at the requisite level of detail, they do not scale well and require decoupling of these systems to run in real-time. In this paper, we briefly describe our efforts in developing a real-time, decoupled model of the IEEE 123 node test feeder with three abstract microgrids and several inverters in HYPERSIM. We also describe our approach to compensate for the errors introduced by decoupling this model and provide some insights into its performance through some comparative case studies. We show that our proposed compensation approach adapts the level of compensation based on transients and minimizes the errors introduced overall while compared to no compensation approach and would enable developing larger scale models without losing accuracy to run in real-time.","PeriodicalId":183284,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Texas Power and Energy Conference (TPEC)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133663420","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 identifies some of the pertinent characteristics of GMDs and their relation to power systems. Analysis of past storms has made evident some common identifiers of what composes a severe, impactful GMD. Identifying characteristics of storms that can potentially cause damage to power systems will be useful for creating synthetic GMD waveforms, which can be tested using grid models in simulators such as PowerWorld or Seimens PSSE.

Many buildings are designed aiming to consume less energy while performing the required tasks. However, buildings that are designed according to the traditional approaches represent primary consumers of energy and resources. With the increase in renewable energy resources integration, those consumers try to reduce their electricity bills using photovoltaic (PV) systems. Combining both solutions, renewable energy, and energy efficiency, they can lower energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, and cost. In this study, four school buildings in Jordan have been studied to investigate the benefit of energy efficiency solution in reducing the total PV size and electricity cost. The mayfly optimization algorithm is used to find the required PV system size needed to satisfy the school building energy demand. Some parameters and design specifications for installing PV systems and inverters have been introduced. Evaluation of economic and environmental indicators is done by using PVsyst-software to compare theoretical and simulation results. Results reveal significant economic and environmental benefits gained from applying the suggested energy efficiency solution and installing a PV system.","PeriodicalId":183284,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Texas Power and Energy Conference (TPEC)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128544377","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 EV charger consists of two bidirectional DC/AC converter and single-phase dual active bridge (SP-DAB) converter which are connected to the power grid and EV battery, respectively. The grid-tied DC/AC converter is controlled using a two control-loop structure in d-q reference frame and also other controller including both steady-state and dynamic components are designated for the SP-DAB. In addition, the DC-link voltage robustness feature is evaluated based on analyzing the simultaneous effects of the SP-DAB transmitted power and phase shift angle (PSA) errors on the DC-link voltage error.

When contingency events occur, appropriate power grid partitioning enables an effective distributed control strategy to detect system faults and cyberattacks and accelerate electrical assets recovery through fast remedial control. This paper addresses the CDA by considering the functional structure of the power grid. When comparing the topological and functional structures of the power grid network, Electrical Coupling Strength (ECS) reflects both direct and indirect power flows, unlike a conventional adjacency matrix, which only considers an unweighted direct connection between buses. The proposed Improved Louvain Algorithm (ILA) employs the ECS patterns to represent the network connection. Here, the quality function is modified as electrical modularity Qe to assess the goodness of the produced clusters. Large Qe indicates that the power transmission within the partition is dense compared to power transmission with other partitions. The algorithm has been tested on IEEE 39-bus and 118-bus systems. Using different case scenarios, the simulation results demonstrate the high effectiveness of the proposed ILA to the traditional Louvain algorithm in partitioning the complex networked electrical grid into adequate subsystems.","PeriodicalId":183284,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Texas Power and Energy Conference (TPEC)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117223448","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}

Most of the work in the literature has focused on small-signal stability analysis of single grid-connected inverters without thoroughly investigating their transient stability for large disturbances and interactions between parallel-connected inverters. To address these challenges, this paper examines the transient angular stability of a cluster of grid-following current source inverters. In a low inertia weak grid environment, grid-following inverters may lose synchronism due to faults and large-signal disturbances. A comparison of the voltage injection angle for pre-fault, fault-on trajectory, and post-fault conditions is performed, and an evaluation of the critical fault clearing time is directly related to the uniformity of the aggregated grid-following inverters. The results show that some inverters lose synchronism more quickly than others due to considerable variances in line impedances and apparent power values. Additionally, inverters with high apparent power are more susceptible to losing synchronism due to the maximum current limit, causing the voltage at the point of common coupling to decrease.","PeriodicalId":183284,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Texas Power and Energy Conference (TPEC)","volume":"6 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132339329","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}
