With advanced computing and communications, cybersecurity has emerged to be a critical issue for AMI networks, which demand confidentiality and integrity. Cyber attackers can employ unauthorized devices, also known as rogue nodes, to steal customers' private information, modify or create wrong data that can financially impact customers, utilities, and the electricity market. To detect rogue nodes in AMI networks, we propose and simulate two Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Their goal is to detect man-in-the-middle attacks (MiTM), where the rogue node steals information using Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache poisoning. A host-based simplistic IDS for the smart meters and a network-based IDS for the data concentrator, which has a larger computing power, were implemented to detect and stop such MiTM attacks. The proposed IDS system uses a Bayesian-based machine learning technique so that the IDS learns the behavior of the attack and detects future attacks.","PeriodicalId":257100,"journal":{"name":"2017 19th International Conference on Intelligent System Application to Power Systems (ISAP)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128493850","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 system uses a machine learning method, in particular supervised regression models, to provide estimates. We show the performance of the proposed framework comparing two widely used regression methods i.e., Generalized Linear Models and Artificial Neural Networks. We extensively evaluate the proposed approach utilizing a real-world dataset collected from a medium voltage ring feeder. Our results indicate very low error rates; the average error for voltage magnitude was approx. 0.2V while for phase angle was 0.7mrad. Such low errors indicate the potential for reducing the scale of the measuring infrastructure required on distribution networks and increasing their reliability.","PeriodicalId":257100,"journal":{"name":"2017 19th International Conference on Intelligent System Application to Power Systems (ISAP)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126716810","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 issue is particularly important in wind energy conversion systems (WECS) that use the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). Therefore, it is important to take into account unbalanced conditions when coupling the wind generator with the grid, especially since the stator of the DFIG is directly connected to the grid. In this paper, the DFIG is modeled under low asymmetrical voltage fault in the grid in order to control the power flow between the generator and the grid. A proportional integral (PI) controller is used and simulated in the study using Matlab/Simulink. The results show that the oscillations in the electromagnetic torque and the total active power can be controlled effectively to improve the quality of the power delivered to the grid.","PeriodicalId":257100,"journal":{"name":"2017 19th International Conference on Intelligent System Application to Power Systems (ISAP)","volume":"1065 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132278595","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, we propose a comprehensive microgrid which consists of renewables, distributed generators, demand response, marketplace, energy storage system and prosumers, and investigate the behaviors of such system. A novel heuristic method, artificial bee colony, is proposed to solve the day-ahead optimal scheduling of the microgrid.

Multi-resolution analysis techniques are applied to extract the necessary components and eliminate the unnecessary components from the historical high-speed raw data to create the library of classes, which are then utilized to create new synthetic load data sets. A validation is performed to ensure that the synthesized data sets contain the same variability characteristics as the training data sets.

Thus, constraint relaxation is necessary to achieve the dispatch decisions and market solution. The acceptable relaxation margin is determined by assessing the time duration of the thermal overloads in terms of an adaptive transmission rate (ATR). ATR is calculated using the dynamic heat balance equation associated with thermal overloading probability. Furthermore, high wind energy penetration increases variability in circuit flows. We utilize conditional value at risk to evaluate the effects of overloads on system security. We propose a systematic methodology of riskbased constraint relaxation (RBCR) to eliminate the infeasibilities of thermal limits in the stochastic look-ahead SCED problem.

Cascading outage due to voltage collapse is a probable consequence during insecure voltage situations. In this regard, fast responding and reliable voltage security assessment (VSA) is effective and indispensable for system to survive in conceivable contingencies. This paper aims at establishing an online systematic framework for voltage security assessment with high-speed data streams from synchrophasors and phasor data concentrators (PDCs). Periodically updated decision trees (DTs) have been applied in different subjects of security assessments in power systems. However, with a training data set of operating conditions that grows rapidly, re-training and restructuring a decision tree becomes a time-consuming process. Hoeffding-tree-based method constructs a learner that is capable of memory management to process streaming data without retaining the complete data set for training purposes in real-time and guarantees the accuracy of learner.
