The results of the three analyzes are compared to each other, in order to classify the feeders in relation to their respective impact on the campus electrical grid. The analysis results show that one of the feeders has a more significant impact on the voltage distortion at the CCP of the university, giving subsidies for a more efficient mitigating action.","PeriodicalId":267301,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D-LA)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116939048","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 passivity-based control (PBC) theory is selected because in the open-loop the HTGS has a port-Hamiltonian (pH) structure. The PBC theory takes advantage of the pH structure of the open-loop dynamical system to design a general control law, which preserves the passive structure in closedloop via interconnection and damping reassignment. Additionally, the PBC theory guarantees globally asymptotically stability in the sense of Lyapunov for the close-loop dynamical system. Time-domain simulations demonstrate the robustness and proper performance of the proposed methodology applied to the HTGS under different operative conditions.","PeriodicalId":267301,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D-LA)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121924758","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 achieve this, it is necessary to select the historical data to be used and pre-process them using the c-means method, grouping them according to power levels (MW) to define the number of membership functions (MFs) to the fuzzy system, which is very important for the calculation of the lowest forecast error; finally, the historical data are entered into the fuzzy system implemented in MATLAB. This methodology is applied to predict the daily electrical load (demand) of the Peruvian Electrical System using the historical data of the actual demand executed for the study period and by calculating the MAPE error.

Unlike the traditional LCC technology, MMC does not depend on the AC system to which is connected making this technology appropriate for active and also passive systems. Therefore, significant research has been conducted for dealing with challenges of its modeling and simulation. Detailed models of it with typical two orders of magnitude of switches dramatically increase the computational difficulty. Therefore, different more efficient modeling methods have been developed and proposed. This paper presents the detailed step-by-step modeling approach by using average value model(AVM) of MMC and its controller in PSCAD/EMTDC simulation software. Generic blocks in the software are used. Then a dual hybrid in-feed HVDC transmission system (employing the VSC-HVDC link connected in parallel with an LCC-HVDC link) is established to validate the model and emphasize the leverage of VSC-HVDC to prevent LCC-HVDC transmission commutation failure by providing reactive power to the latter. Both steady state and fault analysis of the hybrid dual in-feed HVDC transmission system has been simulated and discussed.","PeriodicalId":267301,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D-LA)","volume":"230 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123037149","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}

Efforts are being made to replace polluting sources by clean sources, such as: wind, solar, biomass, etc. As there is already a resolution and government policies that enable and encourage the entry of distributed generation (DG), its participation in generation tends to increase continuously. With a favorable scenario of DGs, studying the potential of its entry into a region, as well as assess the impact that this would cause in the distribution system, it is necessary to prevent and perform more reliable planning. Then the focus of this article is to perform an analysis of how to behave to a dealership network, in southern Brazil, whereas photovoltaic generation entries in your distribution network. That is, simulations will be done during periods, such as weekdays, to examine the curves of loads of feeders, mains voltage profiles, among other dimensions to find out if there were problems on the network, such as: periods of overload, under voltage or overvoltage, etc. The modeling of the elements that make up the network, loads and simulations are developed in OpenDSS software. For the definition of the installed power in each DG, as well as of the daily profiles of generation, are used typical curves of solar generation and also curves generated from measurements of systems of tests installed in the region. This study verifies how the distribution system of the concessionaire behaves with the insertion of several units of DG. Knowing that the generation of solar energy is variable and difficult to predict, the generation curves adopted for simulations contemplate the most probable scenarios of occurrence. The approach taken in this work is promising and necessary for the concessionaire to be able to carry out more reliable plans in the short, medium and long term. In addition, it also allows identifying which investments in distribution networks must be made to adapt them to this new scenario that has been established in the electric sector.","PeriodicalId":267301,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D-LA)","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123486337","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}
