However, the underlying uncertainties in the dynamic models of the generators may influence the estimation results. In this paper, a robust extended Kalman filter is developed for estimating machine states in the presence of model uncertainties. The proposed filter is based on minimizing the squared residual norm under the worst possible case, which indicates the uncertainties in the model should be bounded. The proposed algorithm is derived in two steps. First, the nonlinear dynamic equations of the machine model as well as the structured uncertainties are discretized and linearized. Second, by constructing the min-max optimization problem and solving it with considerable algebra, the time- and measurement-update expressions of the Kalman filter can be reformulated with modified parameters. The proposed filter is tested numerically based on a typical machine model and the results are presented.","PeriodicalId":265395,"journal":{"name":"2016 Power Systems Computation Conference (PSCC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116367979","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}

To capture dependence in modeling and sampling, the proposed tool is thus composed of two key components: (i) distribution and dependence modeled by proper copula; (ii) dependent scenario generation by the Latin hypercube sampling method. The scenarios produced rely on dependence modeling as well as the sampling technique used to capture dependence.

This is essential to investigate the importance of detailed load modelling for subsynchronous resonance (SSR) studies to accurately assess damping contribution and capture system dynamics. SSR interaction with dynamic loads is investigated for both direct on line and drive connected motor loads. Damping contribution from dynamic loads is also assessed based on their location and size. The interaction of dynamic loads with classical SSR phenomenon is observed and introduced as the new concept of (Subsynchronous Resonance Load Interactions (SSR-LI)). SSR-LI assumes critical importance for scenarios where the load and generation centers are in close electrical proximity and impact of loads on torsional damping is significant. Finally, the scope for using existing converter interfaced motors for torsional mode damping has been discussed.","PeriodicalId":265395,"journal":{"name":"2016 Power Systems Computation Conference (PSCC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127664956","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 market mechanisms for cost recovery of these investments are exposed to an increasing share of variable power generation at the supply side, demanding more flexibility in the system. Hence, it is of great interest to account for these changes in tools being used for decision support. This paper presents an extension of an already existing mixed integer linear program (MILP) for transmission expansion planning (TEP), by including system flexibility in the form of energy storage and demand-side management. Moreover, an enhanced description of variable power generation is used to construct production profiles with a higher level of detail. The latter is achieved by simulating weather data for wind and solar incorporating higher temporal and spatial resolution than in previous studies. The impact of using new times series for variable power generation, and the introduction of system flexibility, are both presented separately using the North Sea area for a comparative case study with 2030 scenarios provided by ENTSO-E. The consequent results of interest include lifetime operational costs (OPEX), investment costs (CAPEX), and offshore wind power curtailment.","PeriodicalId":265395,"journal":{"name":"2016 Power Systems Computation Conference (PSCC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116284020","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}

With the increasing availability of wide-area measurements and the rapid development of system identification techniques, adaptive oscillation damping controllers can be designed, which can coordinate the control provided by the available actuators and effectively damp targeted oscillation modes. An adaptive and coordinated oscillation damping control using measurement-driven approach is proposed in this paper. The subspace state space model is identified using ambient data or ringdown data to update the parameters of damping controller. Additionally, an adaptive time delay compensator employing a lead-lag structure is utilized to reduce the impact of random time delay. The coordinated control for different oscillation modes is achieved by mode decoupling control through selecting observation signal and actuation signal with minimum interaction with other modes. The demonstration on hardware testbed has illustrated the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive and coordinated damping controller.","PeriodicalId":265395,"journal":{"name":"2016 Power Systems Computation Conference (PSCC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116645341","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}

To enable a both secure and efficient power supply, novel emergency control systems are required that react reliably in due time and adaptively in case of changing network situations. This paper presents a distributed control approach for the prevention of voltage collapse by a coordinated activation of available countermeasures, in particular acting on distribution transformers, curtailing load as well as deploying the flexibilities of HVDC-converters and underlying active distribution networks. As the proposed scheme is based on limited system observability and only relies on local measurements, complete system information is not required.
