The focus is on three closely coupled systems: (i) cellular and mesh networks, (ii) transportation networks and (iii) social phone call networks. We analyze cascades that occur in inter-dependent infrastructures due to behavioral adaptations in response to a crisis. During crises, changes in individual behavioral lead to altered calling patterns and activities, which influence the urban transport network. This, in turn, affects the loads on wireless networks. The interaction between these systems and their co-evolution poses significant technical challenges for representing and reasoning about these systems. We develop interaction-based models in which individuals and infrastructure elements are placed in a common geographic coordinate system. The goal is to study the impact of a chemical plume in a densely populated urban region. Authorities order evacuation of the affected area which leads to change in people's activity patterns as they are forced to drive home or to evacuation shelters. They also use the wireless networks for coordination among family members and information sharing. These two behavioral adaptations, cause flash-congestion in the urban transport network and the wireless network. We analyze how extended periods of unanticipated road congestion can result in failure of infrastructures, starting with the servicing base stations in the congested area. Finally, we study the criticality and robustness of the various base stations and measure how congestion in the transportation network impacts communication infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":206094,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International Conference on Critical Infrastructure (CRIS)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123112477","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 closed-loop verification approach is common in system identification study but newly used in load model comparison and validation. Two cases based on PSASP are studied in the paper.

However, when a fault occurs at the line during power system swings, the traditional sequence component based phase selector might not identify the fault phase correctly, which leads to mal-operation of distance relays. Therefore, how to improve the existing sequence component based phase selector, especially at the condition of power system swings, is crucial. The relationship between the relative phase and amplitude of the sequence component of various asymmetric faults is analyzed. An improved asymmetric fault phase selector during power swings is proposed according to the corresponding relationship between the zero, negative sequence current components and the asymmetric fault types. The simulation results have shown the effectiveness of the method under power swings. Combining with fault component phase selector in no power swing, this method can perfectly solve the phase selection problem of transmission lines.","PeriodicalId":206094,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International Conference on Critical Infrastructure (CRIS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129344588","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 practical power markets, ATC can provide important information for transmission customers, system operators and power marketers.

Most of the existing ATC calculation are mainly focused on AC power system and based on deterministic techniques. As high voltage direct current (HVDC) power distribution systems have been extensively used in modem transmission network, less work has been done on evaluation of ATC in AC-DC hybrid power system. This paper is dealing with the evaluation of ATC for the integration of HVDC link with an AC power system. The mathematical model of ATC for AC-DC hybrid power system is proposed. Due to the stochastic nature of power system behaviors, it is important to assess ATC from a statistical and risk analysis point of view. Considering the dynamics, time-varying and uncertainties of hybrid power systems, several statistical indices are presented to evaluate ATC and they are calculated based on Monte Carlo simulation.

According to where the short circuits occurred, voltage sags can be divided into two categories, interior voltage sag and exterior voltage sag. Exterior voltage sag caused by short circuit taking place in distribution network, and interior one caused by short circuit taking place in Microgrid itself. Therefore the compensation of voltage sag is also adjusted according to the category of sag, as well as choosing control strategy and capacity of compensator. In this paper the characteristics of two kinds of voltage sags are analyzed, according to the analysis results coordinated control strategy of voltage sags compensation have been proposed. Mitigating the exterior voltage sags needs relatively big capacity of compensator, so that power converters in electrical vehicle charging stations build main compensator. Interior voltage sags need only small power capacity on mitigation; therefore power converters of distributed generations within Microgrid build main compensators. In this paper the power control strategy is further studied. Microgrid is natural resistant network, which means the magnitude of voltage mainly depending on active power output of compensator. According to these features, the power control strategies of P-V droop is applied on voltage sag mitigation. The strategy proposed in this paper is approved to be effective by simulation test result.","PeriodicalId":206094,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International Conference on Critical Infrastructure (CRIS)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132564044","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}
