Using the SC model, energy costs, actual electric power at peak load hours, and the amount of CO2 emission of the whole SC is minimized. Differential Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (DEEPSO) is applied as the optimization technique with the proposed initial searching points generation method based on the sequence-based deterministic initialization and k-means. The proposed method is applied to a model of Toyama city, which is a moderately-sized city in Japan. Optimal operation by the proposed method is compared with that by an initial searching points generation method using pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) and the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":257100,"journal":{"name":"2017 19th International Conference on Intelligent System Application to Power Systems (ISAP)","volume":"48 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":"132223046","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}

Generation shift factors (GSF)-based bus clustering methods have been used for network equivalence to analyze the impact of changes in transactions between operating areas or congestion zones on transmission line flows. However, GSFs are sensitive to the location change of slack generator. Equivalent networks based on GSF bus clustering methods change with the location of slack generator, which may increase the complexity of market behavior analysis in the equivalent networks. In this paper, we present a new bus clustering method for network equivalence based on the average electrical distance (AED) from buses to a designated transmission line. AED is independent of the location changes of slack generator in a power system, which can reduce the complexity of market behavior analysis in the equivalent network. The efficacy of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing the proposed bus clustering method and GSF-based clustering method on the IEEE 39-bus system.","PeriodicalId":257100,"journal":{"name":"2017 19th International Conference on Intelligent System Application to Power Systems (ISAP)","volume":"1 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":"128672275","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}

Thus differentiating fault from stressed conditions and making the protection scheme intelligent enough to stop the relay maloperations has become very important. There are a few computational intelligent techniques proposed in the literature for preventing relay maloperations. However with the increase in size and complexity of the power systems there have been situations during which there is change in network topology or system parameters. An online intelligent technique: online sequential extreme learning machine (OSELM) has been suggested in this paper which under such real time situations successfully furnishes accurate results. This online computational intelligence technique based on synchronized wide area measurements has been implemented to develop a classifier that differentiates fault from power swing and voltage instability. Potential of this online tool in preventing relay maloperations has been validated by comparing it with other offline intelligent techniques during real time scenario.","PeriodicalId":257100,"journal":{"name":"2017 19th International Conference on Intelligent System Application to Power Systems (ISAP)","volume":"12 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":"121869893","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 model integrates topology and power flow information to estimate and visualize interdependencies between the lines in the form of line dependency graph (LDG) and immediate threats graph (ITG). These models enable the system operator to predict the impact of line outage and identify the most vulnerable and critical links in the power system. Line Vulnerability Index (LVI) and Line Criticality Index (LCI) are introduced as two indices extracted from LDG to aid the operator in decision making and contingency selection. This package can be useful in enhancing situational awareness in power grid operation by visualization and estimation of system threats.

Nodal load forecasting is an aspect that can greatly benefit from the use of intelligent methods. In this paper, a multi-kernel method is proposed for load forecasting in power systems. In particular, the method adopts a set of kernel-modeled Gaussian process regressors that are subsequently compounded to provide a predictive distribution over the future values of a node's load. The compound predictive distribution is taken by the assimilation of the individual Gaussian processes using a genetic algorithm. In addition, the forecasting horizon varies at each step and is determined by the amount of uncertainty in the forecasted values. The proposed method is applied on a set of historical real-world load demand datasets taken from a node in US metropolitan area. Results exhibit that the assimilated models provide prediction intervals of less variance forecasts than the individual regressors. In addition, the proposed method provided forecast intervals in which a high number of actual forecasts fall within the limits of the interval.","PeriodicalId":257100,"journal":{"name":"2017 19th International Conference on Intelligent System Application to Power Systems (ISAP)","volume":"24 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":"121404468","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}

Many such conditions are influenced by other factors such as wind and moisture, and therefore cause fault events only intermittently. These conditions are difficult to detect and locate with conventional technologies. Fault current and arcing from recurrent faults can cause further damage to already weak apparatus, ultimately leading to a catastrophic failure, at which time there may be more consequential damage to apparatus, including burned-down lines. For more than a decade, Texas A&M researchers have instrumented dozens of feeders using sensitive, high-fidelity waveform recorders to document numerous apparatus failure conditions, including multiple instances in which failing apparatus and other factors have caused recurring faults and momentary interruptions, spread over significant periods of time, without causing sustained outages. A series of related faults can escape notice when an unmonitored, pole-mount recloser is the interrupting device, unless customers report momentary interruptions, and experience indicates this often does not happen. Even if customers report individual momentary interruptions, the utility may not recognize that the multiple interruptions are related to each other, particularly if time intervals between operations are sufficiently long for operator memories to fade. Awareness of recurrent fault conditions would enable utilities to make timely, proactive repairs, thus avoiding additional faults and interruptions, as well as potentially preventing more catastrophic failures (e.g., equipment damage, downed conductors, fires). This paper describes an on-line, automated method to mine, cluster and report recurrent faults to utility operators in a near real-time fashion. This paper also documents one of multiple real-world examples where the methodology described in this paper was successfully used by utilities to locate and fix problematic components and prevent further faults.","PeriodicalId":257100,"journal":{"name":"2017 19th International Conference on Intelligent System Application to Power Systems (ISAP)","volume":"53 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":"124156802","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}
