Climate projections have revealed a weakening of wind power potential and a significant increase in the sunshine duration. Thus, the increased dependency of key RES to climate change and extreme weather events calls for a more resilient approach under the current and future climate conditions. Although RES provide clean and sustainable energy, their exploitation raises a series of environmental consequences and challenges, which have also been addressed in the present study.","PeriodicalId":305933,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"18 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":"128829035","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}

However, in many such studies, the voltage dip waveforms used to test the performance of LVRT methods are not the one that can occur at the terminal of a wind turbine in reality. This paper provides a critical review of existing works and summarizes the power quality knowledge needed to study LVRT. Characteristics of voltage dips at the terminals of a wind turbine generator (WTG) will be analyzed based on realistic wind farm topology and transformer winding configuration. The impact of collection system transformer winding configuration on low voltage ride through of DFIG is revealed for the first time. Also, the impact of phase angle jump (PAJ) is shown in simulation. The changes of PAJ and point on wave (POW) characteristics in propagation between point of common connection (PCC) and terminal are analyzed to inspire further works. These issues are important but widely neglected by current works.","PeriodicalId":305933,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"116 4 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":"126387595","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}

However, the ill-conditioning of the Jacobian poses a serious issue on the solution mechanism as matrix inversion is required. To avoid the Jacobian inversion, this paper introduces a Lyapunov theory-based approach for solving the nonlinear OPF problem. The aim is to transform the static equations of OPF into an artificial dynamic system, such that the equilibrium points of the dynamic system coincide with the optimal solutions of OPF. The variables of OPF are designed as a state vector of an autonomous nonlinear system and variation of these state vectors are developed in such a way that they give a stable vector field. Moreover, nonlinear complementary functions are used to handle the complementary conditions emerging from the Lagrangian formulation. The adapted solution methodology surmounts the shortcomings associated with the Hessian matrix inversion. Also, unlike already existing similar works, our approach gives the primal and dual solution of OPF problem. Simulations on standard IEEE test systems are carried out to show the efficiency of the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":305933,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"21 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":"126460652","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 proposes an analysis on the impact of considering different static load models and weather scenarios for the analysis of short-circuits applied to a radial distribution system with photovoltaic generation and battery energy storage system. Various sensitivity tests are performed to evaluate the actual importance of considering certain load models and scenarios in short-circuit analyses, allowing inference about model and most favorable conditions.","PeriodicalId":305933,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"49 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":"121553372","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}

However, DSM could endanger the system stability because it changes the characteristics of system demands. This paper establishes the overall impacts of DSM on angular stability of power system with high penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and high system operational uncertainty. The overall effects of DSM are assessed by considering the distance (in terms of Euclidean Norm) between stability manifolds of the system before and after applying DSM. The results show that changes of Euclidean Norm with pre-defined positive direction can be adopted to indicate the overall effect of DSM on system angular stability. They further indicate that depending on the system inertia, RES penetration levels and DSM application levels, the effects of DSM on power system angular stability could be very different. A modified version of the 68-bus NETS-NYPS test system in DigSilent/PowerFactory environment has been adopted to perform dynamic simulations.","PeriodicalId":305933,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"164 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":"123135476","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 concept of a prediction based meter reputation factor is introduced as a number between 0.1 and 1 that is assigned to every meter and that varies based on the accuracy of a meter's predictions. A system architecture is presented that allows the instantiation of rules for economic interaction between metered participants in a power system using reputation factors. This will create a system in which individuals are incentivised to provide accurate predictions, giving planners more reliable information. It also provides a basis for the allocation of rewards for flexibility and penalties for inflexibility. Two algorithms to allocate meter reputation factors are presented and assessed using a defined performance index and metering information from the OpenLV project. It is demonstrated that the performance of the meter reputation algorithms can be moderated according to system requirements. It is concluded that instantiation of the algorithms in such a way that makes persecution of individuals impossible is crucial.","PeriodicalId":305933,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":" 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113952286","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}
