Detecting and preventing cascading blackouts is crucial to maintaining the power system reliability and security. This paper discusses implementation of a method used to detect the cascading events by coordinating the system-wide and substation-wide monitoring and control tools. The framework of the implementation is given first. The data requirements for the proposed system-wide and local substation algorithms are investigated in detail. Obtaining and handling data through integration of traditional Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system and modern Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) is outlined. Case studies based on a real power system model shows the proposed algorithms are feasible. These detection tools could work as decision-making support for system operators to deal with cascading event situations.","PeriodicalId":258632,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"168 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132692636","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}

Data Mining (DM) techniques are used to discover a set of outcome failure probability and, therefore, to extract knowledge concerning to the unavailability of the electrical equipments such us power transformers and high-voltages power lines. The framework includes several steps, following the analysis of the real data base, the pre-processing data, the application of DM algorithms, and finally, the interpretation of the discovered knowledge. To validate the proposed methodology, a case study which includes real databases is used. This data have a heavy uncertainty due to climate conditions for this reason it was used fuzzy logic to determine the set of the electrical components failure probabilities in order to reestablish the service. The results reflect an interesting potential of this approach and encourage further research on the topic.","PeriodicalId":258632,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132697980","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 a novel ATC calculation model for AC/DC transmission systems is proposed, and alternate iterative continuation power flow algorithm is presented to solve this model. ATC of an AC/DC transmission system is computed considering the impacts of DC control system on ATC and compared to one of the AC system. The algorithm based on MATLAB6.5 is developed.

The behavior of demand-side resources (including distributed generation, storage, and load), their interaction with the power system, and their operating characteristics under different electric market scenarios raise many questions for system operators, market operators, and regulators. Computer simulation provides a powerful tool for investigating these issues. This paper discusses the use of GridLab-D as simulation environment to model the behavior of distributed resources in detail such that resources interact in new market environments while observing the physical constraints of system operation. GridLab-D provides an open source platform for integrating demand-side models with power system models and market operation models. The flexibility of this environment will be discussed as well as some of the findings emerging from having this simulation capability.","PeriodicalId":258632,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133722023","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 approach recognizes that a potential new contract under negotiation introduces two main risks: One is related to the insufficiency of load supply (ILS) to end users. Other risk is related with the volatility of the short term spot prices used as a reference for defining the contractual price. Both of these risks are estimated based on the Monte Carlo method and payment minimization. Important characteristics of bilateral contracts like, the necessary modulation to compensate seasonal load variations and the flexibility margins are considered in the model. In case the risks levels are not acceptable, the model makes possible to evaluate a review in the previous conditions in a responsive manner. Results show that with this tool, agents have important information about the negotiated offers being able to clearly define margins of negotiation. These margins are based on the relationships between levels of risk and contractual conditions. The proposed tool is easy to implement and gives a strong support in the decision making process during negotiation of bilateral energy contracts.","PeriodicalId":258632,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"1435 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115189724","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}
