Most of traditional static stability assessment methods are focused on physical models and high-intensity simulations. These methods have a large amount of calculation and high dimensionality, and its online engineering applicability cannot be guaranteed. In order to better ensure the safe operation of power system, this paper proposes a static stability assessment method based on scale-invariant feature transformation(SIFT). This method directly extracts the association of holographic data under various static operating conditions of power system. Based on the operating feature it is improved for the generalized elasticity index and it is achieved for an accurate assessment of static stability situation. The simulation result of the New England 10-machine 39-bus system indicates that the improved grid generalized elasticity index has a higher slope and better engineering application value.","PeriodicalId":260947,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Power System Technology (POWERCON)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114827546","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}

These issues should be solved by the most suitable compensation technology to guarantee the best compensation result. It is common that more than one PQ issue will be caused at a supply bus, usually with some issues affecting more than the others at different time of the day which depends on load flow and load compositions. Therefore, different compensation technologies should be used at different time of day to ensure the best compensation result at all time. This paper designs a switch-controlled hybrid power quality compensator to guarantee all-day best compensation for AC-DC networks. The hybrid PQ compensator is composed of multiple compensators with different functionalities and controlled by switches. The subjective-objective methodology (SOM) is used to determine which compensation technologies should be adopted at different times of day. Based on the decision, the switches will behave and the corresponding compensators will be connected or disconnected for compensation.","PeriodicalId":260947,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Power System Technology (POWERCON)","volume":"334 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124304131","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}

On the other hand, some conventional units are replaced by new energy units, which lead to the decline in peak load regulation ability. In order to make full use of the water storage capacity of hydropower to improve system’s peak load regulation ability, this paper proposes a method of optimizing the day-ahead generation scheduling based on the coordinated operation of new energy and hydropower. This method comprehensively considers the constraints of hydro-plants generation constraints, power balance, unit output, new energy output prediction, and can prepare unit combinations and output plans. In the objective function, new energy accommodation is given greater weight. This will implicitly achieve the goal of the first priority of accommodating new energy and the second priority of accommodating hydropower, which can reduce the start-stopping of thermal power units and is particularly suitable for power systems with high start-up costs and high operating costs of thermal power units. The example results show that the method can make full use of hydropower and new energy to regulate peak load, which can not only promote accommodation of new energy and guarantee the safety of power safety, but also ensure the stability of thermal power plants operation and increase the economic efficiency of power system.","PeriodicalId":260947,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Power System Technology (POWERCON)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121741277","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}

Firstly, in this paper, an active-clamp full-bridge boost converter is taken as the basic unit.

In this system, inputs and outputs of two active-clamp full-bridge boost converters are connected in parallel and series to form a sub-module. With input-parallel output-parallel (IPOP) scheme of multi-modules, the system can meet the demand of DC boost design with large capacity and high conversion ratio, and achieve the goal of power superposition at constant voltage. Subsequently, in order to solve the problem of input current sharing (ICS) and output voltage sharing (OVS) among sub-modules, a DC voltage sharing and current sharing control strategy is proposed.
