A two area network has been considered where frequency control is done using the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) system simulated in MiPower software. There are two case studies which have been explained, where the frequency behaviour has been shown under different loading conditions. In one case, the load increment was under the maximum generation limit and in the other case, it exceeded the maximum generation limit. Along with the case studies, the working of the AGC control system has also been explained in detail with its response for different loading conditions. The network has been simulated in MiPower from which the respective load flow studies results have been obtained. The AGC diagram has also been simulated in the Free Programmable Blocks module of MiPower, where the control responses have been observed and shown.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130321719","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 methodology has employed synchronized voltage and current phasor data received at phasor data concentrator (PDC) in system protection center (SPC) to determine the zone of fault detection by the primary and backup relays. The SPC takes appropriate action based on the impedance seen by the primary and backup relays. Performance of the proposed methodology is validated on WSCC-9 bus system in PSCAD/EMTDC environment.

Such allocations of reactive and real power sources not only reduces the total cost but minimizes the real power loss, enhances the voltage profile and provide reliability benefits also. The formulated cost function depends upon cost per unit loss, installation cost due to Capacitor and DG allocation and also the cost associated for per kVAr and kW injection of Capacitor and DG respectively. Basic reliability index such as failure rate has been estimated before and after allocation of the reactive and real power sources. The proposed technique has been implemented in standard IEEE 33 bus radial distribution system to check the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The analysis is considered for fast phasor estimation by considering one cycle observation window. The Total Vector Error (TVE) and response time are chosen as performance metric. It is shown that time-domain and frequency-domain methods, although have less estimation error in case of fundamental phasor estimation and comply with PMU Std.

However, in order to estimate the harmonics along with the fundamental phasors, time-frequency based method should be the preferred choice for implementing the D-PMUs.

There are smallest possible renewable energy sources of the order of few KW to large wind mill and PV farms of the capacity of several 100 MW in India. Current systems are hybrid systems having combination of AC, DC, single phase, 3 phase, grounded and ungrounded systems with significant converters for interface with AC grid. Under these conditions the assumption that the transmission, distribution and loads are balanced is perhaps not acceptable. In this respect the influence of ground impedance modeling or more specifically the intentional impedance grounding of the neutral of the 3 phase network must be considered in the analysis. A common assumption made is “Ground potential is always at zero (0)” and neutral voltage can be eliminated in the formulation of analysis. IEEE standards however specify that ground resistance is neither zero nor uniform. Mathematical models are needed that consider the ground impedances and non zero neutral potentials of star connected windings. In this article hypothetical grounding impedances are considered and its influence on power system balanced and unbalanced operation are computed for static performance and analyzed. The outcome of the analysis shows that it is not correct to ignore ground impedance for unbalanced analysis, nor it is correct to assume neutral voltage as ‘0’ in star connected systems.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125181207","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}

Need of predicting actual leakage reactance beforehand, accurately, arises due to its effect on transformer's performance, output and characteristic behaviour. Incorrect methodology of leakage reactance estimation gives large error in value of windings which are adjacent. Moreover, leakage reactance between winding is also not equal, causing flow of leakage current. This produces loss beyond committed value. Incapability to provide committed leakage reactance value to customer, burdens company in form of penalty. Apart from loss, controlled or semi-controlled switches may misfire.
