Since Smart Grid concept was first initiated, it has been well known that one of the key solutions is “energy storages”, which can successfully support in both power and energy applications. Previous research shows that power electronics technology can further enhance the performance of the energy storages to meet such challenge requirement. Recently, several needs for this technology, i.e. energy storage material, power converter topology, energy management and anchor service development, have been continuously proposed. Meanwhile, battery and ultra-capacitors have become a trend to be promising energy storages for smart power distribution networks. This paper starts with the dc-Link voltage optimization technique for SOC balancing control for battery energy storage systems based on cascaded multilevel converters. A real power exchange techniques by a D-STATCOM with ultra-capacitors is then presented. Finally, to enhance energy storage utilization planning, the intermittent power mitigation strategy and energy capacity reduction technique for BESS employed in a power network with renewable energy distributed generations is explained.","PeriodicalId":306512,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Electrical Engineering Congress (iEECON)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128118276","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}

So far, numerous studies have been conducted on power system restoration problems. From the view point of the system structures, these researches can be divided into two categories: centralized systems and decentralized systems. In this study, we have solved the distribution power system restoration problem by using multi-agent approach, which is categorized in the distributed approach. The solved solutions have been compared with the solutions which were solved by the mathematical programming approach. From the simulation results, it can be seen the proposed restoration method could reach the right solution by making use of only local information. The solution quality is equivalent to the quality of the centralized system. This means that the proposed multi-agent restoration system is a promising approach to more large-scale distribution network.","PeriodicalId":306512,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Electrical Engineering Congress (iEECON)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133034464","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}

Unpredictable arrival time of the electric vehicle is a problem that can be overcome by having a display showing the incoming time of the vehicle at the bus stop. However, the information about the arrival time has to be updated frequently at the bus stop, resulting in a large amount of data transfer between the server and the bus stop. To reduce the amount of data the updating time has to be varied adaptively. It is shown that using Fuzzy logic for determining the updating time, a half of data transferred can be reduced while keeping the timing error in the acceptable range.","PeriodicalId":306512,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Electrical Engineering Congress (iEECON)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130359625","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}

Due to strictly charging requirement, battery balancing is a necessary function in a battery management system (BMS) for charging this type of battery. Normally, there are two types of battery balancing circuit, i.e. active and passive balancing circuit. Because of simplicity, a passive circuit is chosen. Technically, passive balancing has energy loss while batteries are balancing. This research is focused on exploring three kinds of passive-balancing schemes about energy loss and at various conditions e.g. considering at balancing current or state of charge among all cells (SOCmax - SOCmin). The simulation results show that the different balancing schemes do not have significant effect on energy loss.","PeriodicalId":306512,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Electrical Engineering Congress (iEECON)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114382770","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}

Next, we formulate resource allocation problem as a game, where each player compete to use network resource under its own power constraint. All players utilize the Modified Internal-Regret-Learning algorithm to find their own transmission strategies, which finally form a Nash equilibrium point. The convergence and rate of convergence of the proposed algorithm are proven. Then, we study the results of distributive resource allocation under partial knowledge of other players' strategies.

The proposed power divider employs a pair of SITLs compensated bandstop filters to replace the ordinary 70.7 Ohm quarter-wavelength transmission lines. The main objective of employing the bandpass filters incorporated in the power divider structure is to suppress the spurious response at the 2nd harmonic frequency. Simulated and measured results at 0.9 GHz operating frequency of the ordinary and the proposed Wilkinson power divider are compared. The measured results show that the insertion losses (S21, S31) are less than -4.2 dB while the return losses (S11, S22, S33) are less than -18.3 dB with more than 100% fractional bandwidth. Moreover, the proposed power divider can provide more than 24.5 dB suppression at the 2nd harmonic frequency.","PeriodicalId":306512,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Electrical Engineering Congress (iEECON)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123580769","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}

Phase sequencing and transposition of lines, which changes the distance between the energized, effects the induced voltage in each section along the lines. The grounding of sending and receiving ends of energized lines causes high induced current in the circuit.
