The system can be separated from the utility grid with two islanding operations, one is normal islanding operation that maintains the stable power supply to all loads, the other is protective islanding operation that protects prior part of the load from the power outage even when the grid fault occurs unexpectedly. These operations are based on a multi-mode control of the inverters between the constant current and constant voltage modes, and the cooperation of the local generator that supports enough power to the voltage mode inverter for the successful islanding operation. In addition, the inverters use the voltage synchronization to reconnect to the grid, which makes the mode transition seamlessly. The islanding operations of the proposed system were verified through the simulations using PSIM tool. The power supply to the prior load was continuous by detecting the grid fault in 10 ms and by changing the voltage source from the grid to the inverter. Then, the other inverter and the generator cooperated to supply power to the other load according to the predefined procedure.","PeriodicalId":187144,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Milan PowerTech","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123450730","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 methodology for an optimized energy exchange between a network of e-mobility energy storages (ES) and a virtual power plant (VPP) will be presented, which improves the stability of the power grid and at the same time charges the storage systems of the electric vehicles for their further use.

Therefore, the prevalent point forecasts are not sufficiently capable of optimally capturing uncertainty and hence lead to non-optimal decisions in different operational tasks. We propose an approach for short-term load quantile forecasting based on convolutional neural networks (STLQF-CNN). Historical load and temperature are encoded in a three-dimensional input to enforce locality of seasonal data. The model efficiently minimizes the pinball loss over all desired quantiles and the forecast horizon at once. We evaluate our approach for day-ahead and intra-day predictions on 222 house-holds and different aggregations from the Pecan Street dataset. The evaluation shows that our model consistently outperforms a naïve and an established linear quantile regression benchmark model, e.g., between 21 and 29 % better than the best benchmark on aggregations of 10, 20 and 50 households from Austin.","PeriodicalId":187144,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Milan PowerTech","volume":"1939 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129029168","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 France and in many countries, there is no software, which automatically proposes alternatives for planners, based on a set of hypotheses. On the contrary, they usually find manually solutions and validate them using some software, which provides technical, economic and reliability studies. This paper proposes a several stage algorithm taken from graph theory, which automatizes the different steps of a rural planning study to give some flexibility to the planner who can interfere whenever he wants. The typical rural architecture built consists of main MV loops radially operated and secondary arborescent radials. Two real rural test cases enable to validate the automatic rural planning algorithm by assessing the total length of cables savings, the completion with voltage limits and the increase of renewable penetration.","PeriodicalId":187144,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Milan PowerTech","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132159427","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}
