Solving this problem would provide key enablers for meeting the needs of very diverse social-ecological energy systems (SEES) across the world. As a way forward, we propose a unified modeling framework which is a formal description of a system in multi-disciplinary terms that allows research and results from different domains (engineering, economics, and environment) to interact and be incorporated into a cooperative solution. The framework is based on general laws of physics and economics defining interactions within an SEES. Interaction variables are technology- and policy-agnostic and are used to model mutual effects of different system participants (modules) expressed in terms of common: engineering variables (power, rate of change of power, energy, time); economic variables associated with the same physical variables (prices, time); and, environmental variables (pollutant mass). We describe how the proposed modeling can be used for deployment of cyber systems solutions at value. Simulation approach based on the same unified modeling is essential for educating ourselves regarding their potential technical impact on reliability and resiliency, economic and environmental impact on value created to different industry participants in different network architectures.","PeriodicalId":296428,"journal":{"name":"2017 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"355 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":"122800511","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}

Modern control communication systems such as ModbusTCP are based on open standards that leverage Ethernet to allow interoperability between solutions from different vendors. The enhanced exchange of information has, as a side effect, created cyber security vulnerabilities such as entry points for hackers. Network monitoring typically applied to corporate networks is rarely implemented for ICS networks and should be mandatory for critical systems. Defense-in-Depth (DiD) is a concept that built on the premise of early detection and providing alerts of intrusions to guarantee that defensive action is taken prior to the breach of any critical assets.

In general, the wind power generation is highly dependent on accurate and reliable wind speed prediction. Therefore, the wind speed forecasting is very important as well greatly influences on the scheduling of a power system and the dynamic control of the wind turbine and resource planning. The main objective of this paper is to forecast the wind speed for short-term from the previous wind speed data. In this paper, a Gaussian Mixture Regression (GMR) model is applied for forecasting the wind-speed for short-term (Two-hours ahead). Moreover, in this work the real-world wind data sets were used in order to model training and testing. The GMR model is simulated in Matlab software. The proposed GMR model is evaluated in terms of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) in the task of short-term wind speed prediction. From the simulation results and numerical analysis, it can be stated that the prediction of the short-term wind speed is very accurate by using the GMR methods.","PeriodicalId":296428,"journal":{"name":"2017 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"193 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":"123312800","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}

Hence, DG units should be controlled to form the frequency and voltage, pick up the full load, and respond to any load changes. Conventional P — f/Q — V droop controller enables a communication-less load sharing among DGs while maintaining close deviations of frequency and voltage. Utilizing the dq-frame power flow analysis, this paper presents an equivalent primary droop controller id — f/iq — V based on the direct and quadrature components of the feeder currents, which are already existent in each voltage controller for disturbance rejection. More emphasis is placed on the phenomenon of inaccurate reactive power sharing caused by mismatched feeder impedances. Analysis is presented in terms of the droop equation, and compensation methods are examined with focus on computation and communication requirements, and PCC voltage profile. For validation of the controller's response, a testbed model exhibiting the dynamics of a two-DG microgrid is developed and simulated in Matlab/Simulink.","PeriodicalId":296428,"journal":{"name":"2017 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"36 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":"131805320","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 profits of power sales in the network after development and revenues from investment cost recovery mechanisms and financial incentives are examined. It is observed that the aforementioned revenues are adequate to encourage GENCOs for the investment.

However, uncontrolled solar and wind penetration at distribution level can have adverse effects on the feeders, such as overleverage. On the other hand controlling DG output can reduce the benefits for the residential level DG operators. This paper proposes a methodology for controlling residential DG output while providing incentive for their participation. The control of residential level DG is based on the power-loss and node voltage. The proposed controller will maximize the real power output, will compensate the DG operator using the leveliazed cost of energy. Marginal Levelized Cost of Energy (MCLOE) is proposed in this work for PV modules using the concept of Levelized Cost of Energy in power system operations. The proposed method is able to minimize the electricity cost by using multi-objective optimized operation strategy for a distribution system with residential PVs. A case study is also presented to validate the feasibility of proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":296428,"journal":{"name":"2017 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"55 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":"114985335","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 new buzz has both negative as well as positive impacts on the power system. The increased number of electric vehicles, when acting as loads impose enormous power requirements on power grid and this leads to power imbalance and also weakens the stability of the grid. A careful selection of charging location and capacity of charging stations is the first step in planning the accommodation of large set of EVs. However this doesn't solve the problem fully and hence for day to day operations coordinated charging of EVs is essential. Hence stochastic behavior of EVs is analyzed and EV charging power is predicted. Further a two-stage model to reduce the loading peaks due to charging of PHEVs is developed using optimization and Demand Response (DR) strategies.","PeriodicalId":296428,"journal":{"name":"2017 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"1 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":"129521798","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 evaluate overall performance, three buck-boost converters are designed and tested: one with a Cascode GaN FET, one with a SiC JFET, and one with a Si IGBT. Additionally, a SiC Schottky diode is implemented in each converter to reduce switching energy loss of power devices and improve converter performance. The switching behavior and energy loss of three power devices are evaluated at various junction temperatures. Total power loss and efficiency of each converter are compared at different switching frequencies, output power levels, and operating temperatures. The results show that the Cascode GaN FET-based converter yields considerable improvements in switching performance, total power loss, and overall efficiency.","PeriodicalId":296428,"journal":{"name":"2017 North American Power Symposium (NAPS)","volume":"1 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":"129898419","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}
