The numerous approaches and algorithms proposed take advantage of the advances in information, metering and control technologies to address the challenges of distributed generation and intermittent energy sources on the one hand and the electricity markets on the other. This paper describes a flexible and easily customized, modular toolbox, called Divinus, for electricity use profiling and forecasting in microgrids. Divinus supports algorithms for forecasting and profiling that can be used independently or combined and its architecture consists of several interconnected well-defined components where each one interacts directly with the other. In this work, we have implemented Self-Organizing Maps for profiling and k-Neighbors for forecasting. In order to test the functionalities of the platform, we used electricity consumption data of the TEISTE campus in Evia, Greece from January 2010 till March 2018. From the tests that have been carried out so far, we have observed that the proposed approach yields high accuracy and acceptable mean errors.","PeriodicalId":192943,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 59th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127126586","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}

Per unit cost is a function of substation cost and of fed zone grid indexes: length of the power lines and the amount of their material, losses of energy and of voltages which, in turn, are functions of the fed zone size. The indexes are different for various fed zone shapes. When outlines of a fed zone are not defined topographically, the most profitable shape of the zone is hexagon. However, the square or some other fed zone shape sometimes can be more acceptable due to the location of consumers. These indexes are defined in the paper. Besides, it turns out that, when minimizing the per unit cost of electricity delivery, a binomial of a fed zone main size is insufficient to represent the said per unit cost; it is shown here that a trinomial or even four-term polynomial is necessary to represent the per unit cost of electricity delivery.","PeriodicalId":192943,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 59th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123350853","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}

Therefore, this paper is aimed at investigating comparison between transient analysis AC and DC Microgrid connected to the grid in case of using Superconducting Fault current limiter (SFCL) at the connection point of Microgrid and grid. When the three-phase-to-ground fault is applied at connection point of Microgrid and grid, the SFCL minimized the oscillating currents and the active and reactive power of AC and DC microgrid to range 20-30%. The transient analysis of AC microgrid is better than DC microgrid except the values currents and the active and reactive power are very high during the fault. The time required to recover pre-fault values of AC microgrid (0.1 sec) is less than those time of DC microgrid (3 sec).","PeriodicalId":192943,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 59th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"54 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120887404","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 broken rotor bar, spatial and grid fed harmonics are taken into consideration. Since the fundamental component of the power supply is always the most powerful component, it makes the spectrum less legible, increases the spectral leakage and makes the logarithmic scale inevitable. In this paper, a Chebyshev filter is used for attenuation of the fundamental component, because of its good transition band and no passband ripples. The current signals are taken from both simulation and laboratory environment and harmonics due to above-mentioned causes are segregated.","PeriodicalId":192943,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 59th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"211 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122840635","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}

It involves a three-level NPC quasi-Z-source (3L-NPC qZS) inverter, an only-string PV array, and a LCL output filter. From a finite set of modulation index values, the proposed indirect CCS-MPC current control selects one of them for an external fixed switching frequency driver based on LS-PWM strategy. An issue regarding cost function composition and modulation index regulation is also proposed for improvement of transient and steady-state responses. Simulations results from a PSCAD/EMTDC model are presented and discussed. Even limited by a fixed switching frequency, obtained results demonstrate: an acceptable accuracy of the proposed system model; and a robustness of the evaluated indirect CCS-MPC grid current method under some external perturbation conditions.","PeriodicalId":192943,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 59th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114163424","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}
