However, a key drawback of RE is unstable power output that causes systemic effects. Moreover, with the increasing penetration of RE in three-phase distribution systems, the problem of unbalanced three-phase systems becomes increasingly challenging. This paper proposes a novel control strategy for a grid-connected three-phase four-wire smart inverter. By using the proposed power control strategy and the positive- and negative-sequence decoupling controls, the smart inverter can provide not only frequency but also voltage regulation to maintain a balanced and stable system. To verify the feasibility of the proposed method, a 2 kW grid-connected three-phase four-wire prototype inverter was implemented, which was connected to a three-phase AC source for analysis. The experimental results indicate that the proposed control strategy is a feasible scheme. System frequency regulation and phase voltage compensation can be achieved to support the system under an unbalanced or unstable condition.","PeriodicalId":241317,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115835825","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}

This paper proposes an optimal day-ahead scheduling model to increase the economy of the system operation considering the high penetration and uncertainty of the distributed generations. The proposed model aims to minimize the active power loss and electricity purchasing cost by coordinating active or reactive power outputs of voltage source converter (VSC), energy storage system (ESS) and static var compensation (SVC), as well as the voltage regulation capability of OLTC. Besides, the load model has been carefully analysed to implement conservation voltage reduction (CVR). In addition, VSC is detailed modelled to capture the coupling between active power and reactive power. Moreover, the second-order cone programming (SOCP) is used in this paper to transform the mixed integer nonlinear programming problem to a convex optimization one, which shortens the solving time. The IEEE 33-bus test system is employed to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":241317,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134451222","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 typical charging and discharging characteristics of four battery chemistries, namely, Lead Acid (LA), Lead Carbon (LC), Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) and Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC), along with voltage regulation and capacity degradation performance, are compared to analyze their performance. A case study from ITP Renewables Australia, where different battery chemistries are exposed to test conditions similar to Australian solar duty cycle, is analyzed to validate the findings from typical battery chemistries. The analysis shows that LFP batteries are more suitable for applications where a stable voltage or deep discharge is required. On the other hand, LC batteries allow a more stable voltage during discharge compared to LA, whereas NMC batteries demonstrate a lower capacity fade. The presented analysis provides useful insights for battery selection in residential solar PV applications.","PeriodicalId":241317,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"47 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131789981","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}

To accomplish this goal the share of renewable energy sources have to increase significantly. Challenges related to keeping a high security of supply have raised while the share of intermittent renewable electricity generation is increasing. The increasing level of RES production leads to higher volatility in market prices. The main challenges lay within the modeling and simulation of the random variables. Therefore, the assessment of the operation of the entire micro-grid should be studied while constructing different test scenarios under uncertainty of the market prices and micro-grid configuration. This paper constructs different tests to investigate the integration of Electric Energy Storage unit technologies in a micro-grid. The assessment of the impact on the micro-grid, like congestion or voltage problem, are analyzed when the EES units are owned by a separate business entity called aggregator or a grid owner.","PeriodicalId":241317,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128948865","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 proposes a simplified wide-bandwidth generalized impedance model by modeling the single-phase grid-connected inverter in the polar coordinate system. Firstly, the small-signal dynamic model of the inverter in the polar coordinate system based with second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) is obtained. Then a frequency division basis of 10 Hz to 1 kHz is proposed because the dynamic response of each link varies with frequency. Finally, generalized impedance models of the inverter in the different frequency band are established respectively. The good agreement of the simulation result and the theoretical model verifies the feasibility and correctness of the model. The proposed model lays a good foundation for wide-bandwidth modeling of the three-phase system.","PeriodicalId":241317,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130820930","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 order to accurately extract the temperature, this paper proposes a self-constructed convolutional neural network (CNN) for automatic identification of the iron cap and disk area in an infrared image. The sample set of the algorithm consists of insulator images from multiple substations in various regions, without loss of generality. After training, the network finally outputs four classifiers of iron caps, discs, aluminum fittings and cables. Then we use these classifiers to identify the corrected insulator string region image. Finally, we use different colors to identify the target area and extract the temperature of the area with in-house code. By evaluating the relative temperature difference between an individual insulator and its adjacent insulators, we can discriminate whether there is deterioration in the insulator string. The experimental results show that the self-constructed CNN can achieve excellent recognition results for insulator string iron caps and disc surfaces of different voltage levels.","PeriodicalId":241317,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133304852","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 apparent impedance seen by the relay can enter into the third zone causing distance relay mal-tripping which may lead to cascading outages. This work proposes a new methodology for wide-area backup protection that incorporates two different decision logics for final relaying decision. Phasor measurement unit (PMU) data is utilized to determine whether the system is in normal or stressed state. A Deep learning based method known as Deep Neural Network (DNN) is implemented to develop first decision logic i.e. state assessment. During normal condition, conventional distance relay takes the relaying decision, but during stressed condition the decision switches to the second protective relaying logic which is based on wide area information. Proposed scheme was tested for WSCC 9 bus system using MATLAB/SIMULINK platform and mal-operations of zone-3 distance relay are prevented. Performance comparison of the proposed logic with the blinder-based techniques exhibited substantially higher blocking efficiency.","PeriodicalId":241317,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133355445","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}
