It has helped in reducing dependency on conventional power generating sources. However, the integration of such sources has led to a rise in fault current levels. This causes overriding the capacity of existing switch-gear and protection devices. Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) have come up as a solution to mitigate the effect of rising fault current levels causing mal-operation of the protection devices. In this paper, a modification in the model of an existing Hybrid-SFCL has been proposed to enhance its electrical characteristics. A three-phase power system is simulated to show its efficacy. The results of the existing and modified Hybrid-SFCL models are compared. The analysis has been done in MATLAB/Simulink to validate the proposed model and its performance has been investigated.","PeriodicalId":306418,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Systems Technology (POWERCON)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114626163","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}

A new set of technical difficulties has popped up as a result of renewable additions in the distribution networks, which can be overcome by introducing Battery Energy Storage Systems alongside with renewable generation. Finances associated with the Battery Storage have been the main restraining factor, which hinders the use of them in residential scale solar photovoltaic systems. This paper evaluates the financial viability of incorporating battery energy storage systems alongside solar photovoltaics by developing an algorithm to determine the battery size with the maximum economic benefit, which is followed by a comparative analysis carried out between the solar photovoltaic with battery system and the solar photovoltaic only system. Finally, a suitable tariff structure is proposed, which would enhance the attractiveness of solar photovoltaics with battery system.","PeriodicalId":306418,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Systems Technology (POWERCON)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116563135","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}

Small signal instability caused by electro-mechanical oscillatory modes is one such example. Oscillations of considerable magnitude are being frequently witnessed in India by the operators in recent years. Power System Stabilizers (PSS) play an important role in the interconnected systems to damp out the spurious oscillations. Multi band power system stabilizer (MB-PSS), also known as IEEE-PSS4B, can be more effective than the conventional speed input and dual input PSS. In this paper implementation of IEEE-PSS4B in the BHEL static excitation equipment (SEE) controller is discussed. The effectiveness of the PSS4B is tested using hardware-in-loop testing with RTDS. A single machine infinite bus system and a 5 generator 10 bus system is simulated in RTDS. One of the generator's excitation system is replaced with SEE hardware in a closed loop configuration.

PV technology has seen tremendous growth over the past decades. However, the integration of PV generation to the power systems invites numerous planning and operational challenges. In the short-term, the real-time operation of PV-integrated power systems requires the characterization of the uncertainties associated with the PV generation. A probabilistic framework, such as the quantile regression averaging (QRA), has been successful in forecasting load power and electricity spot prices. This paper applies QRA to accomplish a probabilistic forecast of PV generation using its historical record from a rooftop installation at Lincoln, USA. This paper's main contribution is the use of two appropriate individual point forecasters, i.e., autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic and multiple linear regression models, to complement each other and make accurate quantile forecasts. The proposed model is used in the short-term forecasting of PV generation for the four major seasons up to two weeks ahead. A detailed result analysis shows that the combination of both models improves overall forecasting performance rather than using any of the models alone.","PeriodicalId":306418,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Systems Technology (POWERCON)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131867488","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 other technique based on dynamic programming (DP-I), aims towards developing a day-ahead schedule which ensures minimum operating cost of the microgrid throughout the day. The paper also proposes a modified charge/discharge cycle constrained dynamic programming technique with an objective similar to DP-I, but it also aims towards bringing down the number of charge/discharge cycles in a planning day.

To this end, the anomaly detection of pollution control equipment (ADPCE) based on AMI data analytics is proposed in this paper.

The maximum wind penetration level considering static voltage stability constraint needs to be evaluated in order to provide a basis for the planning and design and dispatch control of the power system. Thus, based on a static voltage stability margin index of line power operation curve, this paper proposes a method for evaluating the maximum penetration of wind power under static voltage stability constraint. Firstly, a method of calculating the static voltage stability margin index is analyzed. Then, the equivalent model of wind power grid connection is used to analyze the influence mechanism of wind power access on static voltage stability. Then the evaluation process of maximum wind penetration level is established by combining margin index and influence mechanism. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are proved in the IEEE 39 node system. The simulation results demonstrate that the margin index is reasonable, and the evaluation results of the maximum wind penetration level of the key nodes are given, providing an important basis for the maximum consumption of wind power generation and the planning of regional wind power.","PeriodicalId":306418,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Systems Technology (POWERCON)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125362494","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}
