Delivery of the undistorted sinusoidal rated voltage and current at rated frequency are the main expectations from electrical power system. Thus, continuous detection and localization of power quality disturbances has become a major concern for transmission and distribution networks to identify sources of disturbance and to circumvent equipment damage. However, automatic Power Quality (PQ) event localization is a challenging concern for both utility and industries. A novel technique based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) has been proposed for online PQ event detection and offline near-by area localization in distribution networks. Line current signal features based on DWT are extracted and the proposed scheme is evaluated by MATLAB simulation for a typical 415 V benchmark Low Voltage AC (LVAC) microgrid. The algorithm performance like steady-state, sensitivity and selectivity is validated in presence and absence of distributed energy resources (DERs) for various PQ events. Thus, manual effort involved in PQ disturbance location and source rectification could be minimized once a defined near-by area in the entire distribution network is identified.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"30 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":"116334824","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}

Under unbalance grid condition, in order to implement stable operation, it is necessity to determine the grid parameter accurately and rapidly. Algorithms used for Grid synchronization plays an important role in the control and steady operation of grid-connected converters. To implement stable and steady control strategy under unbalance grid condition, the detection of grid parameter accurately and rapidly are also crucial. Synchronous Reference Frame Phase Locked Loop (SRF-PLL) works satisfactory for balance grid condition but its performance deteriorates with unbalance grid condition. However, Dual Second Order generalized Integrator (DSOGI)-PLL performs reasonably well in grid synchronization during unbalance grid condition. DSOGI consists of a low pass lter (LPF) and band pass lter to attenuate harmonic of the unbalance grid. In SRF-PLL, the angle is tracked in such a way that the maximum phase voltage is reflected on d-axis while component voltage along q-axis is zero. Hence taking the advantages of DSOGI and SRF-PLL, the DSOGI-PLL architecture has been proposed in this paper. The proposed DSOGI-PLL has better performance in grid synchronization under unbalance grid conditions.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"72 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":"127244550","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}

A suitable equivalent/aggregated model eliminates the need to develop the full detailed model of the wind farm which makes the analysis fast and reliable. Within a wind farm, the wind turbines are interconnected by an electrical network also known as collector system. While aggregating the wind farm, aggregated model of collector system also plays an important role. This paper presents an effective apparent power loss based equivalent model for wind farm collector system while considering the reactive power limits of each wind turbine and wake effect in the wind farm. The proposed approach compares the total apparent losses in pad mount transformer, trunk lines and feeder lines of the detailed and equivalent models. Based on this comparison, values of parameters in equivalent model have been calculated. Test system of HornsRev offshore wind farm has been simulated in PSS/E software and it is found that the equivalent model obtained with the proposed method has the highest accuracy over other methods suggested in the literature.","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":"129098093","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}

Conventional techniques using harmonics of voltage and current have disadvantages in series-compensation environments because of associated dynamics and control mechanisms. Again, the auto-reclosing process can be affected for systems having large scale windfarm which are very sensitive to grid disturbances. This research work proposes a technique for adaptive autoreclosing in case of phase-to-earth faults for TCSC compensated transmission line connected to windfarm. A technique is devised that utilizes the cumulative sum of wavelet energy (CSW) calculated using wavelet coefficients to derive an index (FTI) which distinguishes between permanent and transient faults. Another extinction index (AEI) is computed using CSW during the secondary arc to identify the arc extinction. This parameter is used to change the dead time set for the recloser and thus, reclosing during fault process is avoided. The performance evaluation of the proposed scheme on the real-time digital simulator (RTDS) platform with shunt compensation and neutral reactor, demonstrates its real-time applicability.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"104 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":"117204899","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 transformation of DS from passive to active network has made the examination of coupling between transmission and distribution (T&D) systems more significant. Conventionally, the load flow studies are performed individually for both transmission system (TS) and DS, presuming the other system as an equivalent. But to achieve a global solution for the entire power system, a Coordinated Load Flow (CLF) method is required. It will perform load flow in a distributed manner with a little reciprocity of information at the common bus, in order to reduce the computational complexities of solving large scale problems. This will allow to analyze the impact of detailed modeling of DS on global load flow solution which was otherwise neglected in traditional methods. This paper firstly presents the methodology to perform CLF. Further, the significance of CLF method is proved especially in the presence of voltage dependent loads in DS and its performance is compared with the solutions of independent T&D load flows. Numerical simulations are performed on various test cases and the results are validated using Newton-Raphson load flow method with optimal multiplier.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"51 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":"128352061","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 network observability increases after each phase. During the initial phases, data of unobservable buses is estimated using conventional methods. This method has significance as it restricts the unobservability of bus only up to Depth-of-two unobservability.
