In this paper, the long term hydro scheduling problem is solved and used to test novel definitions of hydro-capacities, based on expected cost and cost probability distributions for system operating cost, based on rising load and a within-the-year time distribution of load. The paper expands on previous capacity definitions and tests them numerically in a case study with realistic data from a hydro-dominated system. The principal contribution of this paper are new capacity concepts and practical applications for an example of sizing a given reservoir. The testing is performed using actual data from the Icelandic hydro-dominated power system, with the model HYDOVG delivering optimal schedules for various inflow instances and load cases and using linear programming (LP) CPLEX software to optimize each case and instant.","PeriodicalId":296398,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133735745","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 impulsive and high-power-density characteristics of PEV make conventional assessment methods of load impact unsuitable. This paper proposes an integrated method to investigate the long-term impact of PEV charging on temporal response and depreciation of grid assets in sub-transmission and distribution grid levels (below 69kV). Compared to conventional methods, the proposed method embeds dynamical system models of grid assets in Time-Series (TS) analysis and captures stochastic charging behavior through Monte-Carlo simulation, promising more robust and accurate assessment. Under the proposed method, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of grid assets formulation is re-established. The results of this paper will enable utilities to quantify the capital and operation cost of grid assets induced under various PEV's penetration level and during any time span of interest.","PeriodicalId":296398,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127368273","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 approach relies on a performance evaluation technique which computes the probability density function (pdf) of the residuals provided by a dynamic state estimator. In the proposed approach it is assumed that there are at least two local PMUs that provide measurements to the dynamic state estimators of a synchronous generator. The proposed approach is implemented using a two-axis model of a synchronous generator with IEEE-Type 1 exciter.

The proposed strategy includes use of the flywheel, wind turbines, and diesel generators to attain survivability and resilience. The strategy is challenged and validated against different low to turbulent wind gust profiles and low to peak loading. Multiple permissive-based decoupling schemes, tie-flow controls, and heat load trading features are implemented. The tie-line flow control/heat load trading is operated in tandem with local diesel generators and wind turbines to maintain a minimum flow from the utility.

Indirect control involves incentives or variable prices in different time blocks to bring the aggregated demand at a desired level. In a market scenario, demand and price are mutually dependent variables, i.e., demand can affect the price and vice-versa. In this paper, we present an empirical analysis of demand response based on real time pricing. The analysis is done to study the convergence of the demand in a closed loop market scenario and sensitivity of DR with varying price elasticity.","PeriodicalId":296398,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134554226","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}

By solving the proposed OPF problem, the controllable resources in the system are optimally coordinated to alleviate the potential severe voltage violations and improve the overall voltage profile.

The frequency controller itself is designed using an optimal LQR (Linear Quadratic Regulator) approach whose parameters are obtained using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The utilized isolated smart microgrid comprises different Distributed Generation (DG) units and Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). Implementation of the optimal LQR controller requires a communication network. The key issue in this Networked Control System (NCS) is the transmission of measured data from the multiple sensing agents to the controller. Usually the data is sent in constant intervals which raises energy issues and channel capacity and requires bigger sending rate that will cause more error in the frequency response. The paper proposes different adaptive approaches for determining an adequate sending rate. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches as compared to conventional methods.","PeriodicalId":296398,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122238095","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}
