An IoT-enabled air pollution monitoring system is proposed in this paper. We designed an IOT system consisting of three main components such as mobile terminals that collect data and send the values to a server, a server that stores this data, and a graphical interface to inform the user about the air quality by displaying data in real-time and/or as graphs. It is a complete Wi-Fi system that has various advantages over existing systems, including adaptability, scalability, and ease of installation. Additionally, the total cost of the system is low, and it may be employed in outdoor or indoor environments such as buildings and companies.","PeriodicalId":249012,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Energy Technologies (ICECET)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115241747","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}

Power generation has evolved from centralized power plants towards a decentralized structure. In this context, microgrids, i.e., small-scale power distribution grids, are being deployed to support distributed generation. Microgrids encounter different challenges as they have to be resilient, reliable, robust, and capable of ensuring power quality and handling intermittent energy sources and new energy usages. This paper focuses on the predictive management of microgrids equipped with a bank of batteries and a fleet of electric vehicles. The reference strategy is rule-based. Two model predictive control (MPC) based strategies - in the first one, all the batteries are managed as a unique (fictitious) battery whereas in the second one, those batteries are managed independently – are discussed and evaluated in simulation. First, the results highlight the benefits of using a predictive strategy when it comes to efficiently manage electricity storage and release in microgrids equipped with electric vehicles. As an interesting result, the strategy proposed to predictively manage the batteries as a unique (fictitious) battery is a litte bit less efficient regarding economical cost and carbon dioxide emissions reduction than the predictive strategy intending to manage the batteries independently but computation time is significantly lower with a large fleet of electric vehicles.","PeriodicalId":249012,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Energy Technologies (ICECET)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115465459","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, the hosting capacity of the IEEE 69-bus distribution grid is quantified using four methods: violation-mitigation-based, stochastic, optimal power flow, and continuation power flow. Multiple settings are adopted in each method to assess the effects on the resulting hosting capacity. Quantitative comparisons of the resulting hosting capacities at a grid and node level are carried out. A better understanding of the quantified hosting capacity resulting from different methods showcases their point of improvement and facilitates the election of the quantification method.","PeriodicalId":249012,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Energy Technologies (ICECET)","volume":"1 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123085865","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 this aim, the most significant challenge lies in providing accurate power forecasts for different lead times determined by the markets. To address this challenge, a hybrid forecast strategy based on day-ahead and intra-day prediction models is proposed. For each lead time, a point prediction is provided by choosing, from the outputs of prediction models, the value which most reduces the prediction uncertainty. The framework also requires the cloudiness forecast to improve the accuracy of the prediction, by classifying the days in three categories according to a cloud cover factor, namely, sunny, cloudy and overcast. The predictions are updated every 15 minutes by using real-time information of the day considered. Whenever the algorithm is executed, the generation forecast for the rest of the day is recalculated with a 15-minute resolution. The point prediction is provided with the corresponding confidence interval, which is modelled by a Laplacian distribution function. This interval is of particular importance in the context of energy markets as it allows the risk of penalties for any energy deviation to be modelled. The strategy is evaluated in a VPP working environment demonstrating the potential of the hybrid prediction algorithm.","PeriodicalId":249012,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Energy Technologies (ICECET)","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127311667","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 proposed circuit detects the failed power switch and enables the system to continue operation by using a series relay to disconnect the failed switch from the circuit. When the tap is moving from one level to the other, during this time the failure detection approach checks all power switches. The detection process is based on the tap voltage measurement while all gate signals of power switches are off. If the tap voltage during this time is not less than a certain voltage value, it means one switch fails. Then, the failed switch removes from the circuit via a series relay, and the substitute TRIAC replace the failed one. This removes any possible interruption in the voltage of the load. Also, the presented method is easy to implement, cost-effective and utilizes fewer components. An EMT simulation is performed to examine the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed circuit and methods.","PeriodicalId":249012,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Energy Technologies (ICECET)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124939782","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 increase in the penetration of renewable energy has raised some concerns about the stability of the existing grid. Historically, power systems are dominated by synchronous generators that can easily react to system instability due to high inertia and damping characteristics. However, with IBR, the control of the inverter plays a crucial role in contributing to the system stability and enhancing the functionality of the inverters. One of these novel control methods is droop control. Droop characteristics are used to control voltage, frequency, and active and reactive power. This paper presents the impact of frequency droop damping on system frequency, real power, and the rate of change of frequency with distributed energy resources. Also, battery sizing is suggested based on the results. The results also show the need for optimal selection for the frequency droop damping to fulfill the appropriate battery size in terms of cost and performance.
