A method is suggested which allows incorporation of this impact in practical fault current calculations. Earth faults in underground cable networks depend on many parameters and are therefore complex to model and calculate exactly. Field measurements have shown the magnitude of actual occurring fault currents to sometimes be significantly lower than calculated, occasionally leading to non-selective fault clearing. A model of the arc impedance was developed and subsequently applied and verified in several case studies of actual measured faults. This showed that the arc impedance may cause a substantially lower fault current, but that its relative impact also varies significantly with the location of the fault. The proposed approach can be readily integrated into fault calculations to include this variable impact and allow for more precise determination of actual earth fault currents.","PeriodicalId":193448,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Eindhoven PowerTech","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127964519","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}

By exploring the singular perturbation theory and direct methods, the stability analysis of an electrical power system is split into the stability analysis of two simplified subsystems: the fast and slow subsystems. As a result of this decomposition, more insight into electrical power system dynamics is gained and less conservative estimates of relevant parts of the stability region are obtained. Numerically, time scale algorithms are faster and more robust when compared with traditional ones.","PeriodicalId":193448,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Eindhoven PowerTech","volume":"322 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132425174","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}

One of the countermeasures is the operation of the PV system at a leading power factor in the normal state, and the other is the dynamic reactive power control after the fault. First, these countermeasures are tested for a one-load infinite-bus system where we consider dynamic characteristics of an induction motor load. In the numerical example, a previously proposed analytical method is applied to discuss the effect of the countermeasure on the short-term voltage stability. Next, numerical examples are carried out for a five-machine five-load power system. The results show that these countermeasures can play a substantial role in preventing the voltage instability phenomena caused when a PV system is suddenly interrupted because of a fault.","PeriodicalId":193448,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Eindhoven PowerTech","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134117559","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}

Their unused capacities could be used to provide frequency control, allowing them to generate additional revenues. However, the challenge is to decide how much of their energy and power capacities to allocate to either service. Photovoltaic generation profiles are difficult to forecast accurately, and frequency deviation is a highly stochastic process. This paper develops a Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming (SDDP) approach to generate decision rules for determining how much capacity to assign to each service at each time step, depending on the time of day and the storage energy level. Unlike Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP), our approach does not require us to discretize the state and decision spaces. We show that, when storage efficiency is high, SDDP outperforms SDP, but when short computation times are required, SDP may be preferred. We also discuss challenges associated with using SDDP when storage efficiency is lower than unity. Finally, we show that the number of tuning parameters is lower for SDDP than for SDP, and that the relation between tuning parameters and policy quality is more intuitive for SDDP than for SDP.","PeriodicalId":193448,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Eindhoven PowerTech","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131764913","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}
