The controller is adaptive as the parameters in the control law are updated online based on system identification that relate the output (active and reactive power) and the input (direct and quadrature axis rotor voltages). The main advantage of the proposed controller is the simplicity in design, its adaptability under varying operating conditions and the ability of the controller to perform without the need to measure rotor side quantities. The paper discusses the design of the controller and presents the simulation results from tests performed using MATLAB SimPowerSystems. The results show that the proposed controller can be a better alternative to the existing PI based vector control for DFIG.","PeriodicalId":249041,"journal":{"name":"2016 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"578 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134277527","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}

DR as a service is used by the independent system operator (ISO) only when the market is settled inefficiently. A simple threshold on locational marginal price (LMP) cannot be set as the market clearing price depends on various factors, such as the transmission network availability, weather, and available resources. To detect inefficiency in the day-ahead market, we use statistical pattern recognition and compare among the various available techniques to integrate the DRX into a fully deregulated day-ahead market clearing method. We use support vector machines (SVM) to detect market inefficiencies during market clearing using real-data from the PJM ISO, and validate on the IEEE 24-bus system. We show that the DRX can be integrated into the existing bulk power market, with the ISO using pattern recognition techniques to detect market inefficiencies and trigger the DRX during such hours.","PeriodicalId":249041,"journal":{"name":"2016 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131647882","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 demonstrates the implementation and design of an isolated interleaved boost DC-DC converter using a capacitor voltage doubler to achieve a high voltage step ratio. The performance of the design is analyzed and investigated at high switching frequency using different power switching devices, Si and SiC MOSFETs.

A cellular computational network (CCN) is used as the SI algorithm. CCN is a framework for distributed multi-timescale frequency prediction by utilizing the local and neighboring phasor measurement units (PMUs). The predicted frequency values are utilized for coherency analysis. The advantages of the CCN are scalability and distributedness which caters for on-line predicted coherency analysis for large power systems. The multi-time scale frequency predictions mitigates or minimizes delays in power system measurements and provides an insight to the power system coherent behavior apriori. The simulation studies on the New York-New England IEEE benchmark power system are presented to demonstrate that CCN based SI can be utilized in online coherency analysis. Predicted measurements can enhance resiliency to bad data. Furthermore, it is possible to utilize this approach for adaptive control of wide area power systems.","PeriodicalId":249041,"journal":{"name":"2016 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133563109","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}
