Simulations are performed in order to compare the impact of the two heating systems, using as input typical domestic electric consumption profile over a one year period. The results are presented for two typical Quebec's house. We also consider two types of rates for the electricity cost: regular (constant) rates, and Hydro-Quebec's pilot project time of use (TOU) rates. The results obtained in this paper are also compared to a previous study done in Nova Scotia. Results show that the use of ETS heating systems can lead to savings of approximately 15% on annual electrical bill. Finally, we evaluate the impact of using ETS on a typical distribution substation load curve for a winter peaking week. With TOU rates control, we show that a penetration of approximately 4% central ETS heating systems can create a new night-time peak that is as important as the morning peak we are trying to mitigate.","PeriodicalId":19873,"journal":{"name":"PES T&D 2012","volume":"72 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89426378","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 C-type harmonic filter can be designed to meet these requirements; however, the design of these banks becomes quite challenging when the power system is networked and has existing shunt capacitor banks. Furthermore, there is very little information available in the literature regarding the design C-type filters applied in HV or EHV networks. The following paper addresses the major technical challenges associated with the design and application of C-type harmonic filter banks in HV and EHV networks, and provides a novel methodology for analyzing filter performance and determining component ratings. The paper also serves as a consolidated reference for the design and application of C-type filter banks that are installed in HV and EHV networks.","PeriodicalId":19873,"journal":{"name":"PES T&D 2012","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89946274","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}

These stabilization systems have different system configurations and applications for their specific purpose, and they are classified and systematized in this paper. On the one hand, standardization of various communication interfaces and protocols have been discussed triggered by the introduction of the concept of the smart grid, and we discuss some of those international standards which are related to WASA. Although some standards have already been published, some are still under preparation and discussion prior to official publication.

The weather conditions affect generation output of renewable energy significantly. As a result, smart grids increase the uncertainties caused by the power injections of photovoltaic (PV) and/or wind power generation. To smooth smart grid operation, it is necessary to select the predicted input variables for the forecasting model. In this paper, how to select explanatory variables in the forecasting model of PV generation is discussed because Japan gives much higher priority to PV generation in the framework of future energy policy. The global solar radiation is one of the most important variables in dealing with PV generation output forecasting. This paper focuses on the relationship between the global solar radiation and its explanatory variables. The proposed method makes use of the CART (Classification and Regression Trees) algorithm of data mining method to select the explanatory or input variables in the forecasting model of global solar radiation. CART has the function to give priority to explanatory variables through an index called Variable Importance. The proposed method was applied to real data of global solar radiation in Tokyo, Japan.","PeriodicalId":19873,"journal":{"name":"PES T&D 2012","volume":"71 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86362087","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}

As the uncertainty in these conditions increases, so does the need to consider larger security margins when reliability transfer limits are defined. Total Transfer Capability (TTC) defines to which extent the existing transmission assets can be utilized in a reliable manner. Thus, using highly conservative margin leads to an inefficient use of the transmission network. Therefore it is very important for operators to have an adequate methodology and tool to calculate system operating limits that allow higher utilization of the transmission network while maintain the required reliability level. The purpose of the work presented in this paper is two-fold. Firstly, to examine current industry practices to evaluate TTC under variable generation such as wind; and secondly to outline a methodology to calculate TTC in power system with a large penetration of variable generation. Preliminary results with the proposed methodology are presented through a case study conducted on the IEEE two-area Reliability Test System (RTS).","PeriodicalId":19873,"journal":{"name":"PES T&D 2012","volume":"108 ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91446533","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}
