In such cases, the objective of a resource allocation algorithm can be to minimize the disutility of the worst-off user of the community. This paper presents the problem of finding an optimal max-min fair allocation of available energy. A mixed-integer linear formulation is used to tackle the problem, so that the worst-off user’s disutility is minimized. The allocation results are compared to the standard approach that optimizes the system’s Social Welfare. The users’ disutility function models for electricity consuming devices, are based on their time-under-unsatisfied-demand, which is a measurable and comparable metric and does not rely on the user’s self reported valuation for energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":302157,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Smart Energy Systems and Technologies (SEST)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132990456","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}

One of such contingency event is the violation of transmission line limits leading to the disconnection of multiple highly loaded transmission lines. To prevent this event, knowing the loadability of the transmission line is important. In this research, a method to obtain the loadability of the transmission line is proposed. The data from the phasor measurement units are utilized to obtain the characteristics of the transmission lines (i.e. reactance, voltage drop pattern). Then, the loadability of the transmission lines in terms of thermal, voltage drop, and stability limits are calculated. The adaptive remedial action scheme (RAS) is also designed to maintain power transfer within a safe limit by load shedding and/or generation rejection. This scheme will update the total amount of load shedding or generation rejection and select the target based on the sensitivity of voltage to active power change. The method is applied to the Java-Bali system, in which a high amount of power is transferred from eastern to the western part through the transmission lines at the north and south corridors and hence, knowing the loadability limits of each corridor is important. Using the proposed method, the separation of western and eastern Java could be effectively prevented.","PeriodicalId":302157,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Smart Energy Systems and Technologies (SEST)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133474472","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}

Infrarred (IR) Thermography, Electroluminescence (EL) and I-V curve tracers are detection techniques that generally use high-cost equipment, which limits their use in developing countries due to the tight budgets they manage for research and development. This study shows the use of low-cost alternatives to determine the deterioration of 140 solar PV modules at the University of Cuenca-Ecuador. This array has functioned continually without fail for 5 years. Measurement equipment for degradation detection techniques with a cost of less than 1,000.00USD is used and its application is validated with professional equipment. A power loss of 1.29% per year is obtained. In addition, the use of degradation values obtained from similar studies is proposed to reduce the effort of detecting deterioration modes, whose approximation allows the calculation of the power delivered by the installation with a 2.04% error. A method for the economic quantification due to the losses caused by the deterioration of solar PV modules is also exposed.","PeriodicalId":302157,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Smart Energy Systems and Technologies (SEST)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125585377","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 work proposes a robust load pattern identification method through clustering whilst assessing the benefit of the attained information on enhancing accuracies of building energy prediction. A robust cross-validation is illustrated from assessing varying distance metrics and clustering algorithms, namely Euclidean and mahalanobis distances with Fuzzy C-Means and Agglomerative Hierarchical clustering. Leveraging nine identified and characterized patterns, a final indirect evaluation is realized with energy demand forecasting. The proposed data mining method provides a better understanding of the interactions between user behavior and future energy needs which can fundamentally impact strategic energy planning such as asset management, and collaborative operations.","PeriodicalId":302157,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Smart Energy Systems and Technologies (SEST)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129410619","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}

Moreover, the devised system architecture allows to connect multiple SPOs, even with different capabilities, in an IEEE 802.15.4 Sub-1 GHz Personal Area Network (PAN). This network is managed by a Controller that also acts as a border router, providing remote access to the SPOs. A prof-of-concept prototype of the system has been implemented and tested.
