The increased penetration of RESs into the grid will, therefore, lead to variability and unpredictability of system inertia due to stochastic nature of RESs. This paper, therefore, presents a heuristic technique to estimate the varying inertia in the power network using normal operating conditions. In this approach, phasor measurement units (PMUs) are used to extract data from the network and hence used to estimate the dynamic model representing the network. The higher order estimated model is then decomposed to lower order model for not only easy analysis and simplified inertia estimation process but also reduced computation burden. Contrasted to other approaches using large disturbance, the suggested technique can estimate inertia constant of the network using normal operating conditions. The technique has been tested using numerical simulations of a modified IEEE 14-bus network modelled in industry accepted DIgSILENT™ PowerFactory® tool.","PeriodicalId":244426,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd International Conference on Smart Power & Internet Energy Systems (SPIES)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129547552","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}

Self-tuning filter (STF) is an widely used technique for the control of GCC in adverse conditions. However, the existing literature only considers balanced grid condition. This paper extends STF for unbalanced grid. Proposed extension is obtained by considering STF in state-space framework together with model of the unbalanced grid. Using open-loop frequency estimation technique, frequency-adaptive STF is proposed that is able to operate in unbalanced and distorted grid. Mathematical analysis are presented to demonstrate the frequency selective property of the extended STF. Comparative numerical simulation results are provided to demonstrate the suitability of the proposed technique.","PeriodicalId":244426,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd International Conference on Smart Power & Internet Energy Systems (SPIES)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129869595","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}

For the DC excitation process in the rotor-side converter, the stator voltage is built at the stator terminals, which is related to the shaft speed and magnetizing current. Therefore, the corrected rotor electrical and slip angular speeds are received. Again, for the AC excitation process, the condition of the synchronizing is proposed by checking the slip position between estimated and real slip angles. If it is matching at the zero angles, the DC excitation is changed to the AC excitation with the real slip angle; in addition, the induced stator voltage and frequency are completely synchronized with the utility grid. For the grid-connected operation, the dq-axes rotor currents are also proposed to regulate the grid-flux and to control the electromagnetic torque. To assess the performance of the proposed control algorithm, computer modeling is developed, the simulation results are provided.","PeriodicalId":244426,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd International Conference on Smart Power & Internet Energy Systems (SPIES)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131114705","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 this paper, considering swing dynamics with the primary frequency control, we identify the key factors that mostly affect frequency stability through sensitivity analysis on maximum frequency deviation. Surprisingly, we find that the droop coefficient of the primary frequency control has the most significant influence on the frequency response and hence the frequency stability, while the inertia is the least important, which is somewhat opposite to the common sense.

The performance of the proposed method is validated using DIgSILENT PowerFactory simulation, calibrated using a real frequency event that occurred in the Irish power system. Wind generation is significant in the Irish system and significantly higher levels are required to reach renewable energy targets. Wind power, like photovoltaics, are mediated by power electronics that do not inherently respond to frequency variation. This research addresses problems with the drop in system inertia and the availability of primary frequency response on systems with high non-synchronous infeed. Demand response has the potential to replace these services. Typically, a large number of domestic, or light industrial, loads are considered for such services, but these present challenges in terms of monitoring and control. This research focuses on the potential of large load data centers that incorporate uninterruptable power supplies as standard, therefore a demand response does not have a direct effect on operation.","PeriodicalId":244426,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd International Conference on Smart Power & Internet Energy Systems (SPIES)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114075978","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}

Recently, a nine-switch based unified expandable power converter (UEPC) has been presented for integration of multi permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSG) based wind energy systems (WESs) in which the number of switches in comparison with the conventional configurations is significantly reduced. Nevertheless, since all switches are shared between all ports and therefore, the currents of different ports pass through all switches, the current rating of the switches might be higher than the conventional structure. In this paper, to minimize the total required current rating of the semiconductor as well as the installation cost of the UEPC, different acceptable configurations considering different port for grid connection are evaluated and the best port for grid connection is proposed. Finally, to verify the analysis results, the simulation of a three-port version of UEPC is carried out using MATLAB/Simulink software. The simulation results also confirm that when the grid is connected to the middle port, the minimum instantaneous currents pass through the switches.","PeriodicalId":244426,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd International Conference on Smart Power & Internet Energy Systems (SPIES)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114679118","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}
