The initial short-circuit current contribution of the DFIG for various rotor voltage settings is calculated with the top and bottom envelope derived by several interpolations. Due to unreliable results, an advanced analytical approach is proposed. Within this approach, a simplified impedance calculation for DFIG is suggested with an additional correction factor to counteract inaccuracies of the considered assumptions. Therefore, a possibility for deducing an advanced consideration of the stator current and the LSC grid current of DFIG in IEC 60909–0 is displayed.","PeriodicalId":305933,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115073432","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 case, some transformerless structures have been presented to restrict the leakage current. This paper presents a new transformerless structure for the PV inverters. The proposed structure keeps the common mode voltage constant in all switching periods and will suppress the leakage current.

Hence, it is important to accurately evaluate the renewable hosting capacity of a distribution network to avoid any detrimental effect caused by increased penetration. In this context, this paper proposes a two-stage optimisation-based approach to calculate the maximum renewable hosting capacity of a distribution network without violating any security constraints. The approach is demonstrated using an IEEE 123-node distribution network with detailed simulations, and the results compared with two conventional approaches (experience-based and streamlined approach). The results indicate that the proposed approach can achieve higher hosting capacity as opposed to conventional approaches. In addition, this paper also presents detailed procedures to implement the two conventional approaches.","PeriodicalId":305933,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123522993","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 dual loop PI based single control algorithm not only presents simple and low cost MPPT but also provides ancillary service - DC grid voltage control. Emphasis is also laid in modeling of the solar photovoltaic (PV) based standalone DC microgrid. Maximum power is extracted by direct perturbations of duty ratio decided by a set of logic conditions which are computed by any voltage change that is sensed at grid side. For controlling the DC bus voltage, the duty ratios of a bi-directional converter (BDC) are updated by checking the direction of inductor current associated with battery energy storage system (BESS), which eventually helps in seamless transition of buck to boost mode of operation and vice-versa avoiding unnecessary outages in system. Modeling the system and implementation of the control algorithm is done by Simulink and MATLAB environment respectively.","PeriodicalId":305933,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125890530","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 method, there is a need for incorporating dynamic models in order to take into account time correlations of uncertainties. The models used should posses certain linearity properties to conserve the convexity of the optimization problem to be solved. This is crucial for the convergence of the SDDP algorithm. In the past, especially in hydro-thermal planning, linear autoregressive (AR) models were usually used for this purpose. However, they can produce negative values which is not realistic and can lead to difficulties in SDDP computations. As a remedy, one can employ additive or multiplicative AR models which are capable of producing nonnegative time series. Despite of this fact, the works using such models in SDDP based wind energy applications are very rare and model estimation methods were not elaborated. Moreover, their accuracy in representing real wind uncertainty was not studied well. Motivated with these facts, in the present study, modeling of wind speed distribution by such AR models is investigated. The parameters of the models were estimated by solving constrained least squares optimization problems. In order to asses the accuracy of corresponding distributions, a nonparametric method for computing the K-L divergence between probability density functions was utilized. Finally, the models were compared in terms of accuracy of their distributions and features of their parameter estimation algorithms.","PeriodicalId":305933,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128537315","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}

These two aggregate TDMs are in this paper used to derive two corresponding aggregate frequency domain models (FDMs), which are expressed in the form of coupled harmonic admittance matrices (HAMs). The results in this paper illustrate harmonic cancellation effects of aggregate FDMs as a function of the number of aggregated households and also provide a comparison of aggregate component-based TDMs and aggregate HAM-based FDMs for pure sinusoidal and typically distorted voltage supply conditions.","PeriodicalId":305933,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128285529","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}

Scheduling-based demand response approaches for optimally exploiting these flexibilities use demand and generation predictions to calculate an operative schedule of the heating devices. Due to deviations between predicted and real energy profiles, additional uncertainty handling methods are essential which adjust the actions imposed by the schedule to the current situation. In this paper, we introduce corrective control algorithms for buildings in smart grids with modulating heating devices that can compensate the uncertainties of predictions. The results show that our developed approaches avoid violations of the inhabitants' comfort limits and decrease the surplus energy (and thus increase the self-consumption rate) of photovoltaic systems compared to a conventional control strategy. Further, our analysis reveals that uncertainties affect the load shifting potentials of electric heating devices and lead to increased surplus energy.","PeriodicalId":305933,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131942953","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}

For this reasons, the concept of resilience is particularly useful to build a proper assessment framework. This paper presents an in-depth resilience assessment methodology supporting the evaluation of the system response under different assumptions on threat intensity and component vulnerability, including the modeling of countermeasures aimed to improve system resilience. In particular the paper investigates the models for anti-torsional devices and ice-phobic coatings, i.e. two grid hardening measures against wet snow events.
