In order to ensure a proper integration of solar power systems into the grid, grid reinforcement is a common method to increase the transmission capacity. As an alternative to this costly solution, local battery storage systems can be used to store the surplus generation and limit the feed-in power of the solar power systems into the grid. In paper “Operational Strategies for Battery Storage Systems in Low-voltage Distribution Grids to Limit the Feed-in Power of Roof-mounted Solar Power Systems” are proposed two different operational strategies for battery storage systems, the first strategy or Feed-in chopping and the second strategy or Feed-in damping. After publishing this work, is the implementation of the strategies necessary and perform one operational comparison of the strategies, this our work, first, the optimization of the strategies in order to use the maximum battery capacity and consequentially reduce the feed-in power to the low-voltage grid and second, the implementation of this optimized strategies into the laboratory and determine which of the two operational strategies is the best and in which cases is recommendable the utilization of the first or second strategy.","PeriodicalId":256426,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Workshop on Power Electronics and Power Quality Applications (PEPQA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130103824","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}

Incorrect settings may allow that repetitive failures occur before triggering an interruption. Consequently, it is necessary to identify the devices that clear a fault to assess its operation. The identification process can be achieved by a signature that each device induces in the voltage and current waveforms. As a proposal, this article presents a new method in the analysis of the transients related to the operation of the protections in the distribution systems for identification of protective devices. This method has the ability to detect transient changes and characterize the quality disturbances of three-phase systems.","PeriodicalId":256426,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Workshop on Power Electronics and Power Quality Applications (PEPQA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133462446","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}

Initially, the program was released with a COM interface and, recently, the “Direct DLL” interface has been released so that users can access the program features on platforms incompatible with COM. With these interfaces, users can integrate their customized models into OpenDSS, control the simulation and to integrate OpenDSS into their own software. OpenDSS has continued to evolve and now offers a version to perform parallel computing in modern multi-core computers. This version is called OpenDSS-PM (Parallel Machine) and is available to the public as well.

The proposed method gives direct analytical solutions, resulting from a truncated Taylor series for the single diode PV-model. The analytical equations are easier to put into practical use and give solutions with an equivalent precision similar to the numerical method (Newton-Raphson Method) for the PV's cell voltage produced under particular conditions of temperature and solar radiance. The main benefit of this set of equations, useful also for optimal voltage estimation, is that offer an accurate and simple determination of the voltage profile using the manufacturer's data-sheet and PV plant's location for an specific design. The verification of the proposed method uses information from the manufacturer's datasheets of 12 different PV cells.
