In the UK this is one of the functions of OFGEM (office of gas and electricity markets). Initially the regulation was based on the value of assets but there is a trend nowadays towards performance-based regulation. In order to achieve this, a methodology is needed that enables the reliability performance associated with alternative investment strategies to be compared with the investment cost of these strategies. At present there is no accepted approach for such assessments. Building on the concept of reference networks proposed in [G. Strbac et al. (2001), V. Levi et al. (2004)] this paper describes how these networks can be used to assess the impact that performance driven investment strategies will have on the improvement in reliability indices. The method has been tested using the underground and overhead part of a real system.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114955696","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 evolution of the electric power industry toward open markets has introduced a number of factors that have heightened the need for more rigorous security assessment and, in many cases, made it much more challenging. Some of these factors include: 1) aging transmission infrastructures/spl rarr/potential component failures; 2) lack of new transmission facilities/spl rarr/bottlenecks; 3) large numbers of small and distributed generators/spl rarr/uncertainty in dispatch patterns; 4) market-driven transactions/spl rarr/unpredictable transactions and system usage; 5) cutbacks in system maintenance/spl rarr/potential for failures such as flashovers to trees; 6) dependence on communications and computer systems/spl rarr/software/hardware failures may leave operators blind; 7) neglect of integrated system planning/spl rarr/insufficient/improper generation/transmission resources; 8) trend toward interconnection/spl rarr/exposure to cascading disturbances. These factors have (a) lead to greater uncertainty in day-today system operations, (b) increased the number of potential sources for system disturbances and (c) increased exposure to phenomena such as voltage instability and inter-area oscillations. As a result, in many power systems, it has become impossible to operate systems with an acceptable degree of security by using traditional operational planning studies that are conducted off-line and use forecast conditions to predict system security limits. This has been illustrated by the major system disturbances that have recently occurred in different systems around the world; highlighting the importance of being able to monitor and ensure system security. Therefore, the use of on-line security assessment is quickly becoming a necessity. This paper presents an overview of the critical components required for on-line security assessment and provides a description of an actual implementation of an on-line security assessment system.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114979212","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 approach proposed in this paper is derived from the common power factor practice where a load should be fully compensated at the fundamental frequency and therefore seen as resistive from the network. This principle can be expanded to the whole frequency spectrum claiming the load to be resistive at all harmonic frequencies. The presented solution is based on the harmonic current vectors method where resistance is introduced as the customer reference impedance. The resistance value is calculated from measurements data. The presented method allows calculation of customer side harmonic sources without knowing the actual impedances; it enables the evaluation of unsuitable impedances, e.g. resonance conditions causing the amplification of harmonics.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117231362","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}

Using 6 points numerical differentiation, these discrete values are used for fundamental and harmonic frequency estimation. For a signal with 20 harmonics, the technique requires at most 2 cycles (40 ms) for the first time of estimation computation, and requires at most 1 cycle for the latter estimation. Comparing with other existing techniques, the proposed algorithm is characteristic of high accuracy and much less time.
