However, the PV power generation is fluctuated by cloud movement, weather conditions, and wind speed which directly affect the excessive operation of voltage regulation devices such as the on load tap changer (OLTC). This excessive operation will decrease the expected life cycle and increase maintenance requirements. This paper proposed an optional operation of the battery energy storage system (BESS) in microgrid by optimizing BESS active and reactive power with Cuckoo Search optimization (CSo). The main objective aims to minimize the OLTC tap operation under PV fluctuation. The CSO is implemented in MATLAB while DIgSILENT PowerFactory is used for load flow evaluation. Simulation case studies are performed using system data from the Mae Sa Riang microgrid in Thailand. Results show that the optimal operation of BESS using CSO can effectively reduce the number of OLTC tap operations in microgrid when compared to the results with the base case and microgrid controller.","PeriodicalId":187144,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Milan PowerTech","volume":"23 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":"125184262","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}

However, the inclusion of PMU measurements along with the ones from traditional Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems to perform state estimation brings additional challenges, such as the vast difference in sampling rates and precision between these two types of measurements. This paper formally introduces a Bayesian inference approach in the form of a new State Estimator for transmission systems able to deal with the different sampling rates of those measurements. The proposed approach provides accurate state estimates even for buses that are not observable by PMU measurements, and when load variation occurs during the time interval between two SCADA data scans. Several simulation results (with IEEE transmission test systems) are used to illustrate the features of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":187144,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Milan PowerTech","volume":"460 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113989640","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 this context, we investigated long short-term memory (LSTM) models for load prediction, because they allow incremental training in an application with continuous real-time data and have not been used in other works for continuous load prediction to our knowledge. The test and evaluation were realized using data sets of real residential data from different locations in different time resolution - hourly and minutely. Accordingly, we tested different recurrent neural network (RNN) parameters of the model such as the number of layers, the number of hidden nodes, the inclusion of regularization, and dropout in order to find the optimal LSTM configuration for our continuous load prediction application. Besides, we analyzed the quality of the LSTM algorithm by comparing it in continuous mode with the baseline model and in batch mode with the statistical model ARIMA. Training and prediction time, as well as the error stabilization time were parameters used for the evaluation. The results showed that LSTM algorithms are highly promising for integrating continuous load prediction with incremental learning.","PeriodicalId":187144,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Milan PowerTech","volume":"316 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":"122786196","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}

TE also allows prosumers to participate in grid services by trading their excess energy or energy consumption flexibility with the grid operators, energy suppliers, and third-party energy companies (e.g., Aggregators). This paper presents a novel bidding strategy for small-scale residential prosumers for energy trading in the day-ahead TE market using the flexibilities of residential battery energy storage systems to maximize the profit from energy trading. The bidding model is formulated as a bi-level optimization problem that determines energy trading bids to maximize profits for the prosumer in the upper level, while the lower-level problem schedules the operation of residential storage units with respect to minimum storage degradation and optimum user comfort. A comprehensive storage model is developed that incorporates the operational constraints and the degradation of storage units when they undergo frequent charge-discharge cycles for the energy trading. The proposed bidding model is evaluated via a case study for a typical Australian prosumer and results indicate the efficacy of the proposed model in terms of profit maximization for the prosumer while satisfying user preferences and constraints related to the operation of the storage units.","PeriodicalId":187144,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Milan PowerTech","volume":"83 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":"115713619","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}

Successful preparation and prevention of such events calls for models capable of predicting their occurrence. The simultaneous outage of multiple components is of special interest in an N-l secure transmission grid. Spatio-temporal correlation in probability of failure for components can cause blackouts to occur more often than anticipated. This paper demonstrates a new method of calculating time-series of component unavailability due to external threats based on historical data. The time-series of unavailability can be used to predict the expected occurrence of contingencies throughout the year. A test case is presented where an hourly time series of wind dependent failure probabilities and historical outage durations of transmission lines are combined to illustrate the proposed method. The results show that the simultaneous unavailability of multiple transmission lines may be significantly larger than estimated using traditional reliability analysis.","PeriodicalId":187144,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Milan PowerTech","volume":"493 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":"123401439","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}

Grey wolf optimisation (GWO) is a swarm-based metaheuristic optimisation algorithm, inspired from the performance of wolves and has shown promising performance in solving some engineering optimisation problems. In this paper, GWO is used for solving the problem of optimal scheduling of appliances in HEM systems. The problem is solved for two different homes with different set of appliances.

These schemes offer a communication-free, robust, cheap, but rather sub-optimal solution and do not fully exploit the DER capabilities. The operational flexibility of active distribution networks can be greatly enhanced by the optimal control of DERs. However, it usually requires remote monitoring and communication infrastructure, which current distribution networks lack due to the high cost and complexity. In this paper, we investigate data-driven control algorithms that use historical data, advanced off-line optimization techniques, and machine learning methods, to design local controls that emulate the optimal behavior without the use of any communication. We elaborate on the suitability of various schemes based on different local features, we investigate safety challenges arising from data-driven control schemes, and we show the performance of the optimized local controls on a three-phase, unbalanced, low-voltage, distribution network.","PeriodicalId":187144,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Milan PowerTech","volume":"75 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":"126284006","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}
