And Numerical simulations are carried out to show the effectiveness of the control technique. A Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) are inherently nonlinear and time-varying systems. The controller should provide a good level of robustness in spite of large input voltage, output current and parameter variations. [1]. The temperature will be controlled from 0–360°C from a DCS set point which range between 4–20mA the existing control/monitoring system is Honeywell which will allow us to extract data and analyse the performance of the HTS-1003 heaters and other plant parameters.

The largest normalized residual test is used to identify bad data. Then, phasor measurements are added by post-processing step in the state estimation. The proposed algorithms of phasor measurements utilization in state estimation can detect and identify single and multiple bad data in redundant and critical measurements. To validate simulations, IEEE 30 bus system are implemented in PowerFactory and Matlab is used to solve proposed state estimation using postprocessing of PMUs and mixed methods. Bad data is generated manually and added in PMU and conventional measurements profile.

The changes in power are dependent on customers' demand and any deviation from the pre-calculated optimum setting may affect the machine's operating voltage and frequency. In this paper, the Electrochemical Battery is used as an Energy Storage System (ESS) to play the kernel role in regulating the voltage magnitude and frequency for stand-alone SEIG during load changes, where a Controlled Current Source is used to charge and discharge the battery.","PeriodicalId":272049,"journal":{"name":"2017 52nd International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122585629","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 European Union (EU) has set targets and Directives that make it very likely to find in the near future DNs with a large number of PVs inducing overvoltages and uncontrolled EV charging resulting in under-voltages. Since PV production and EV charging generally happen at different times, especially in residential case studies, a DN may experience both unwanted circumstances at the same day. One way to deal with these issues is to smartly utilize distributed or centralized storage, which may additionally delay necessary investments on the DNs. This paper utilizes a case study of a typical DN found in Greece, suitably adapted to illustrate the above concepts. First, an analysis of the stress imposed to the DN by both PVs and EVs is evaluated, using as input real measurements at the beginning of the LV feeder. Then, the paper suggests a simple utilization of storage in order to keep the voltages at all nodes of the DN inside the desired limits. Finally, a short analysis regarding the power losses is presented.","PeriodicalId":272049,"journal":{"name":"2017 52nd International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129002157","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 method is applied to an estimation of a battery internal impedance and its results are compared with those obtained by the conventional method. The computational time of the proposed method is reduced to 2.38 %. The maximum difference between the theoretical and calculated battery impedances is less than 2 %. The algorithm decreasing the number of samples is realized without reducing the sensitivity for a battery diagnosis system.

The model includes six controlled voltage sources, connected in each converter arm, which are governed by the dynamics of an equivalent submodule capacitor, reproducing the expected voltage ripple, as well as the circulating currents induced inside each converter arm.

The AC flashover-voltage (FOV) of selected insulator designs is measured adopting the clean fog test and a high voltage ramp test. A conventional insulator design with a plain surface has been tested and compared with insulators having a textured surface. The FOV dependency on the pollution severity level is quantified. The influence of SiR profiles and wetting rate on the mean FOV are also investigated. For different ranges of wetting and pollution severity conditions, the results showed that the textured insulator designs exhibit an increased flashover performance compared with conventional non-textured insulators. Textured insulators can offer an increased FOV performance up to 16% compared with the average FOV of the conventional insulator. Under lower fog rate, the FOV level for both insulator types does not gradually increase with the testing time but is characterised by a U-trend. For moderate and high fog rates, a stable increase in FOV is observed. The result gives an indication that the average FOV is substantially affected by the higher fog rate for both insulator profiles. Furthermore, a greater improvement was gained on the mean FOV under textured design.","PeriodicalId":272049,"journal":{"name":"2017 52nd International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"219 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121562844","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 regard, different types of dynamic tariffs have been considered in contrast with a fixed price tariff. In order to investigate the variability and flexibility of household energy usage due to temporal and individual characteristics of each household, the following pricing bands are considered: day, peak, night and weekend/weekday.
