In this paper, a graph partitioning-based reserve zoning method is incorporated into the security-constrained unit commitment to improve the deliverability of operating reserves in a reserve zone and mitigate possible congestions caused by uncertain wind power. A graph representation of power system is proposed in which the edge weights are quantified by the likelihood of secure transmission utilization for each line. The probability distribution of line flows are characterized by the uncertainty of multiple correlated wind farm output forecasts as well as credible line outage contingencies reflected on the line flows using distribution factors. The minimum k-cut problem using the Gomory-Hu equivalent tree is addressed as a simple and efficient method to solve the NP-complete partitioning problem. The resultant zones can assure reduced risk of congested operating conditions and thus, provide a new approach to efficient management of intra-zonal congestions.","PeriodicalId":249041,"journal":{"name":"2016 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"111 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":"116180629","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 growth of integrating wind energy into the power grid imposes multiple challenges of scheduling and operations. The highly stochastic nature of wind energy due to the intermittent nature of wind speed makes it difficult to dispatch. Hence, it becomes more difficult to keep the balance of supply and demand. In this paper, we focus on the uncertainty in dispatch. Wind Power Forecasts (WPFs) are important for efficient dispatch and unit-commitment (UC). WPF improvement techniques include aerodynamic atmospheric models and time-series based model. This paper presents improvements to WPF using an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model on available historical data of hourly wind power data - forecast and actual - from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).","PeriodicalId":249041,"journal":{"name":"2016 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"18 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":"132399466","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}

Although the structure of the adaptation method closely resembles that of a generic stochastic program it diverges from the temporal conventions of traditional electric infrastructure formulations. While traditional stochastic programming formulations restrict first and later stage capacity investments to separate time periods, the first and later stage capacity investments in adaptation overlap in time. Additionally, recourse decisions for all scenarios are defined relative to the central core trajectory in the same time period rather than the node at the previous time period in the stochastic programming scenario tree. After an in-depth discussion of stochastic programming and adaptations' formulations, a six bus simulation is provided to facilitate a more concrete comparison of the two methods. Uncertainties considered in the simulation include, wind and solar build costs, carbon taxes, demand and peak demand growth, natural gas fuel prices, and transmission costs.","PeriodicalId":249041,"journal":{"name":"2016 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"78 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":"132963575","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}

Prior efforts have shown that various benefits could be achieved by appropriately changing the network topology. This paper focuses on the reliability gains that can be achieved through corrective transmission switching (CTS). A full AC contingency analysis is conducted to identify critical contingencies that would result in violations. CTS is employed on these critical contingencies to test for violation reductions. A data-driven heuristic is proposed in this paper to identify the candidate switching list. This heuristic, also referred to as enhanced data mining (EDM) approach, provides a static lookup table consisting of corrective switching solutions, which is fast and effective. The lookup table can be created through a straightforward data mining technique. Simulations on the TVA system demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed heuristic.","PeriodicalId":249041,"journal":{"name":"2016 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"197 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":"122193775","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}

Coordinated secondary control can resolve this problem by judiciously dispatching active power resources using the communication infrastructure that supports the microgrid operations. In this paper, a distributed secondary control design for isolated microgrids is developed, and the effects of malicious attacks on the communication links are also investigated. The proposed design architecture consists of the local droop control in the primary level and a distributed dual-ascent based update in the secondary level. The objective of the latter is to achieve proportional power sharing while maintaining the system nominal frequency. Two types of malicious attacks on the distributed secondary control, namely, the link and node attacks, are investigated. To mitigate these attacks, detection and localization strategies are developed by checking the values of the dual-ascent update iterates. Numerical simulations on an isolated microgrid have been performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control design and countermeasures against malicious attacks.","PeriodicalId":249041,"journal":{"name":"2016 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"5 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":"122755153","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}
