AMs are employed to power system models that endure linear relations between the result variables and input random variables via sensitivity matrices. The accuracy of a sensitivity matrix-based PLF model can be improved by considering the effects of environmental conditions on line parameters. Looking out for an opportunity to upgrade existing PLF model to foresee the strength of thermal resistance model, a temperature-augmented model is presented. A detailed mathematical formulation of the aforesaid model is deliberated. The influence of temperature-augmentation on distributions of resistances, temperatures, power flows, and power losses of the temperature dependent branches is studied in detail. Finally, a note on applicability of the proposed model in the assessment of various power system studies is discussed.","PeriodicalId":247669,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128403037","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}

Methodologies to find this threshold for two types of customers namely, dispatchable-DG customer and renewable-DG customer are discussed.

Due to the presence of a right half plane (RHP) zero in the control to output (c2o) transfer function; closed loop control becomes extremely difficult. Nonlinear control schemes provide flexibility and quick response to changes in the operating point of the system. The major drawback is the difficulties encountered in their practical implementation. PID based control structures are popular in the industry due to ease of implementation and simple structure. However, complex PID tuning methodologies, such as H-infinity and linear quadratic regulator (LQR), involving numerical optimization and arbitrary choice of weighting functions provides many obstacles in the development of an efficient controller for industrial purposes. This paper utilizes a quantitative process control theory (QPCT) based H-<» PID control scheme which provides a no weight, numerical optimization free approach with analytical tuning rules. Performance of the proposed controller is compared with two other popular control schemes existing in the literature. Regulatory and servo performance of the closed loop system is analyzed in MATLAB®/SIMULINK and the performance of the proposed controller is found to be satisfactory.","PeriodicalId":247669,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124558859","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 employed control strategy generates current references to PV, grid, battery and supercapacitor converters based on the average of DC link voltage controller output. In this control strategy, a single DC link voltage controller maintains the DC link voltage in all operating modes. Thus, designing a DC link voltage controller which is stable in all operating modes is a crucial aspect of DC microgrid. The design and stability analysis of DC microgrid employing this control strategy is not discussed in literature. In this work, a detailed two loop control design of a DC microgrid employing this control strategy is presented. The DC link voltage controller is designed such that it is stable in all operating modes and the effect of low pass filter introduced to obtain the average value of DC link voltage controller output is considered. Simulation study with the designed control parameters is performed to verify the stability of the system in various operating modes.

The configuration offers STATCOM features and has ability to support active power at different time scale. The configuration can be called as E-STATCOM, where ‘E’ stands for Energy Storage. Here, the E-STATCOM is configured around a Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC). The battery is connected at the DC link of MMC through series connected DC-DC converters. On the other hand, supercapacitors are connected in each submodule of MMC. The combination of battery and supercapacitor yields better transient performance, improved battery life-span and compact sizing of ESS. In this work, E-STATCOM is used to address some issues related to grid integration of Wind Energy Generating System (WEGS). Under MPPT operation, the WEGS generates fluctuating power which may affect voltage and frequency stability of the grid. Here, the E-STATCOM absorbs the fluctuation and provides smooth power to the grid, which ensures voltage and frequency stability. The proposed configuration is suitable for high power level, as well as, high voltage level compared to conventional two-level converter based solution.

In this regard, EVs could communicate with Roadside Units (RSUs) in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITSs) and Smartgrid. Some of the challenges that limit the extension of Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) are the End-to-End (ETE) communication delay, the doppler effect and the interference. This paper simulates and compares selected performance of the communications between the EVs and the RSUs for several wireless communication systems such as ZigBee, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and Wi-Fi.
