Typically, most fault location algorithms either neglect the effect of shunt admittance in the estimation of distance to fault or make use of pre-calculated parameters. The accuracy of fault location can be significantly improved by accounting for this factor. However, settings for line parameters are not exact and vary with weather and loading conditions. A settings free approach to fault location is more reliable and truly accurate. Using the method proposed in this paper, the shunt admittance of the line can be accounted for in fault location algorithms using synchronized measurements from both ends of the line. This general method can be applied to a number of existing fault location algorithms.","PeriodicalId":244881,"journal":{"name":"2012 3rd IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT Europe)","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123030944","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}

An auto-transformer, compared to a separate-winding transformer, is characterized by small impedances, which can even be very small at the neutral tap position. Especially for auto-transformers which have identical voltage levels at both sides, this feature cannot be modeled for load flow calculations using Newton-Raphson or Current injection algorithm. Actual approaches for modeling of autotransformer using small impedances, risk that the loss of numerical stability has a negative impact on the convergence. This proposal uses additional injections for the correct compensation of error in the modeled impedance.","PeriodicalId":244881,"journal":{"name":"2012 3rd IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT Europe)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134035543","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 increasing integration of the distributed generation units leads to continual growing of the amount of the inverter interface in the electrical grid. Therefore, the characteristics of inverters will more and more significantly influence the grid operation. The VISMA is a novel control method for the inverter to make it possible that an inverter-interfaced decentralized generation unit can be operated as a real electromechanical synchronous machine, which up to now as the main generation unit in the electrical grid has many advantages in consideration of the grid stability. These advantages can be implemented in the VISMA and are proved experimentally in the grid-connected operation mode. The island-mode is another important operation mode that will be necessary for a stand-alone grid without connecting of the main grid or when the main grid fails due to a disturbance. Therefore this operation mode of the VISMA is focused in this paper.","PeriodicalId":244881,"journal":{"name":"2012 3rd IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT Europe)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134589358","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 aims to provide a conceptual introduction to “indirect control” for management of small and distributed demand side resources.

This reduction in computation resources is particularly important when considering the smart grid - a system whose complexity will be far beyond that of the present power grid. In order to further this line of research, this paper focuses on four contributions: 1) The presentation of a binary version of the deterministic Central Force Optimization (CFO) optimization algorithm, 2) The role of this new algorithm regarding ISSP, 3) The integration of a local search technique with three flavors of the ISSP algorithm in order to improve performance, and 4) A discussion of the role that ISSP may play in the reliability evaluation of the smart grid.","PeriodicalId":244881,"journal":{"name":"2012 3rd IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT Europe)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124869828","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 main objective of this paper is to quantify the impact of smart MV/LV transformer substations on continuity of supply, which is essential to determine the optimal automation degree. The analysis has considered different degrees of implementation of smart MV/LV substations for different configuration schemes of urban distribution networks. Furthermore, sensitivity analyses have been performed for the main parameters involved so that conclusions on reliability improvement achieved by MV/LV transformer substation automation can be scaled up.","PeriodicalId":244881,"journal":{"name":"2012 3rd IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT Europe)","volume":"353 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123542978","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}
