This study exhibits a maiden application of cascade tilt-integral-derivative (CC-TID) controller in load frequency control (LFC) of a power system. The TID-controller is employed as a slave controller, and conventional proportional-integral (PI) controller is utilized as a master controller while designing CC-TID controller. To reveal the effectiveness of the CC-TID controller, a four-area interconnected power plant is investigated. The controller parameters are simultaneously optimized by implementing modified grey wolf optimization (mGWO) algorithm. The effectiveness of the CC-TID controller is compared with I-, PID-, PI-PD, and TID-controllers for the same test system. The comparison reveals that CC-TID yields better output compared to other controllers concerning peak overshoot, undershoot, and settling time. Moreover, the supremacy of mGWO-algorithm is confirmed over flower pollination algorithm (FPA). The system is investigated with step load and random load disturbances.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"40 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":"124340607","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 would impact VPP scheduling and trading decisions, hence require in-depth investigations. In this regard, this paper presents a mathematical exposition for network constrained VPP scheduling with LMP based wholesale market participation. IEEE 30-bus system is modified to implement the proposed model. Results demonstrate that multiple LMPs substantially help VPP operator in optimal resource allocation while maintaining network flows within limits. Further, power mismatch is traded into LMP based market through multiple nodes to maximize its profit.

The double stage conversion in UPS attenuates power quality at the input side and output configuration of the system. Many researchers have proposed the improvement of power quality with CCM and DCM operations for ac-dc conversion stage in bridge and bridgeless rectifier, but there is lack of knowledge about their performance and drawbacks of CCM and DCM operation with SBBR topology. This paper focuses on experimental analysis of SBBR topology operating in CCM and DCM under different load ranges. The performance of power quality factors and efficiency of SBBR operating in CCM and DCM are addressed. To study the stability analysis of SBBR operation in CCM and DCM, a comprehensive small signal model is derived by analyzing the inductor current waveforms. PSCAD simulations have obtained theoretical study of SBBR with CCM and DCM operations and experimental validation is carried out through FPGA Spartan 3A processor.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"52 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":"115368856","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}

Quality of the state estimates depends on the quality of measurements available. Most distribution systems are sparsely monitored. Therefore, any information available is of utmost importance. A state estimator uses large number of pseudo and virtual measurements in addition to real measurements, for performing distribution system state estimation. Typical characteristics of a distribution system and also the inclusion of virtual measurement in state estimation causes convergence issues due to ill-conditioning of gain matrix. This paper aims at developing a detailed three-phase model of a distribution network and explores the application of state of the art convex optimization techniques for distribution system state estimation. A comparative study of these methods on accuracy and convergence of a distribution system state estimator is also presented.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"79 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":"116157090","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 presented methodology assumes the heating loads present in the residence as non-critical loads and tries to operate them in power saving mode, whenever necessary. In the considered scheme non-critical loads are connected in series with AC electric springs which in turn schedule them as per the requirement. The major scope of this work is to make the non-critical loads consume lesser power by pressing springs into action in the presence of solar power. It is expected that the springs compliment the efforts of solar panels in reduction of power consumed from utility grid, daily peaks and energy purchase from the utility grid. In order to implement the proposed methodology a completely customer driven home energy management algorithm is proposed and the robustness of the same is tested on a residential consumer, considering a 24 load curve.

In this paper, two various kinds of controllers have used for LFC of the system. Integral (I) controller is a classical approach of LFC whereas linear quadratic regulator based integral (LQR-I) controller optimally controls all the states through the full-state feedback LQR controller. After studying and comparing the results, it has been observed that LQR-I controller provides better LFC in terms of settling time, overshoot etc and better stability to the system compared to the integral (I) controller.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"3 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":"125412977","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}
