However, with the increased integration of distributed renewable resources and energy-storage technologies, there is a need to systematically acknowledge the dynamics of power-electronics inverters — the primary energy-conversion interface in such systems — in all aspects of modeling, analysis, and control of the bulk power network. In this paper, we assess the properties of coupled machine-inverter systems by studying an elementary system comprised of a synchronous generator, three-phase inverter, and a load. The inverter model is formulated such that its power rating can be scaled continuously across power levels while preserving its closed-loop response. Accordingly, the properties of the machine-inverter system can be assessed for varying ratios of machine-to-inverter power ratings. After linearizing the model and assessing its eigenvalues, we show that system stability is highly dependent on the inverter current controller and machine exciter, thus uncovering a key concern with mixed machine-inverter systems and motivating the need for next-generation grid-stabilizing inverter controls.","PeriodicalId":296428,"journal":{"name":"2017 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"1012 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116455867","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 conventional AC OPF formulation solved by interior point method has difficulty to converge when the system is reaching its loading limit due to the singularity of the Jacobian matrix. Existing methods to identify loading limits include continuous power flow (CPF) method. For CPF, the direction of power transfer has to be identified first. Then, a PV nose is obtained and the maximum loading level is at the nose point. Using convex relaxation of alternating current optimal power flow (AC OPF), we will not encounter singularity issues. In this paper, we will formulate a semi-definite programming (SDP) relaxation of AC OPF-based optimization problems to conduct economic dispatch and loading limit identification. Advantages of SDP OPF over MATPOWER are demonstrated. Further, loading limits identified by SDP OPF are compared with those found using the CPF method of MATPOWER. Our research indicates that two methods will lead to the same solutions for the tested systems.","PeriodicalId":296428,"journal":{"name":"2017 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"250 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115178384","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}

This task has been divided into two parts; a) Baseline scheduling and b) Reserve scheduling, where baseline scheduling meets the day-ahead forecast of load and wind energy, while reserve scheduling meets the variation in load and wind energy from the baseline schedule. A Markov chain transition matrix has been used to quantify both upward and downward reserves. This paper reveals the results of considering different aspects (fuel cost, reliability, emissions and reservoir volume), in the objective function. Also a Monte-Carlo analysis of the results are performed to understand the probabilistic nature of the problem. Using frequency distribution of load and wind data, different cases have been analyzed to conclude a probabilistic (or fuzzy) schedule, which not only answers the question of ON/OFF status but can also imply time windows for maintenance scheduling and turn-down activities.","PeriodicalId":296428,"journal":{"name":"2017 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122348057","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}

This paper introduces a Center-Point-Clamped AC-AC Buck-Boost Converter based power quality device for industrial and residential customers at the leaf end of the distribution network. This converter utilizes the principle of center-point-clamping to reduce the voltage stress on the power semiconductor switches. It can buck, boost and eliminate unwanted line frequency harmonics from the input voltage by controlling the duty ratio of the switches, thereby providing desired voltage at the customer side with minimal THD. A closed loop strategy has also been presented in the paper. This feedback regulator improves the steady state and transient performance of the converter. Simulation results displayed in the paper verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed power quality device in mitigation of power quality issues like voltage sag, voltage swell and harmonics at multiple order of line frequency, have been displayed in the paper. A small scale experimental prototype rated at 120V, 1-kW has been constructed in the laboratory. Experimental results further corroborate the theoretical and simulated analysis, and demonstrate the merits of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":296428,"journal":{"name":"2017 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122047084","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}

DQDSE offers an efficient and practical way of performing state estimation for subsystems with phasor measurement units and other meters. It also transmits generated results to the control center for system automation and control.

This paper describes a model of competition between demand response aggregators (as firms) which sell aggregated energy stored in residential storage devices (as a homogeneous good) in a networked environment with a market maker. This game is called Networked Stackelberg Competition (NSC). In this paper, for each firm, the optimal bidding plan and Nash equilibrium are obtained in an incomplete information game. Demand response aggregators submit their bids and the market maker (system operator) controls the transaction powers and price subject to grid's constraints and policies.

For example, in a volatile setting with highly uncertain renewable generation and customer consumption, it is challenging to provide reliable power and voltage prediction for operational planning purposes to mitigate risks, e.g., over-voltages. In this paper, we propose an integrated Gaussian Process-based method (IGP) for electric load (consumption minus generation) prediction. For improving the forecasting accuracy, we use not only the data streams generated by the target customer but also those of relevant customers in the feeder system. An adaptive data communication rate controlling scheme is further proposed for dimension reduction of streaming data to address the situation when bandwidth limit enforces a constraint in some feeders. The goal is to make IGP with the same prediction precision but significantly less streaming data amount. The superior efficacy and efficiency of IGP and its enhanced variants are tested and verified on the standard IEEE 8-bus and 123-bus distribution test cases.","PeriodicalId":296428,"journal":{"name":"2017 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"159 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121195977","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}
