The goal is to identify the least-cost resources to provide the level of required reliability in the load pocket via the purchase of additional transmission capability or generation capacity. The design complications confront are lump resources, market power in the auction and in the load pocket after auction and competition between resources: transmission lines, baseload generators and peakers. Three auctions have been suggested to solve this problem but at the end FTR subsidy auction approach with bottom capped has proved advantageous over the other two.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"19 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":"117280498","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 results in difficulty because of the complexity of the system model, the lack of knowledge of its parameters, the great number of information to be processed, and the difficulty in taking into consideration any system variation as the rules are fixed. The application of fuzzy logic for exploring complex, nonlinear systems, diagnosis systems and other expert systems, particularly when there is no simple mathematical model to be performed, provides a very powerful and attractive solution to classification problems. In this paper, a feasibility study on the application of different fuzzy reasoning mechanisms to power system relaying algorithms is conducted. Those mechanisms are namely, Mamdani's mechanism, Larsen's mechanism, Takagi-Sugeno's mechanism, and Tsukamoto mechanism. A comparative analysis on the application of these fuzzy inference mechanisms to a novel fault detection and phase selection technique on EHV transmission lines is reported. The proposed scheme utilises only the phase angle between two line currents for the decision making part of the scheme. A sample three-phase power system was simulated using the EMTP software. An online wavelet-based preprocessor stage is used with data window of 10 samples (based on 4.5 kHz sampling rate and 50 Hz power frequency). The performance of the proposed model was extensively tested in each case of fuzzy inference mechanism using the MATLAB software. The advantages and disadvantages of each mechanism are reported and compared together. Some of the test results are included in this paper.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"146 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":"116479101","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}

Based on the dielectric physics, a new definition of dielectric loss factor with harmonics emphasis is proposed to evaluate the operational conditions of power apparatus on a more reasonable basis, along with corresponding digitised algorithms. Two approaches, namely the decoupling algorithm and the approximating algorithm, are presented to implement the methodologies with the new definition of dielectric loss factor. The impacts of background noise and power frequency fluctuation on estimation accuracy are analysed by computer simulations showing better application qualities of the approximating algorithm than the decoupling one. A comprehensive strategy of simultaneous monitoring of the sum current, dielectric loss factor, resistive current and capacitive current is recommended to give an effective assessment and diagnosis of both the insulation degradation and heat behaviours.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"286 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":"116441951","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}

Testing of relays can be summarized into three groups: steady state, dynamic and transient. While the first two types are performed during bench testing, they are not adequate for performance evaluation of subcycle modern relays. Transient testing is performed for verification of relay performance under transient conditions of power system to address such requirement. ABB has been using real-time simulations of power systems, for relay performance evaluation, for around seventy years in the US.

Procurement of ancillary services must take into account effective use of the capacity under emergency conditions, delivery time, transmission limitations, and local area requirements. Regional procurement of ancillary services is an approach that results in effective distribution of reserves and ensures continuous reliability in the event of a contingency occurring anywhere in the system. However, most ISOs procure and price ancillary services based on the least-cost service with little regard to zonal dispersion. In general, such an approach is not sufficient to ensure continuous reliability and security of the power system This paper presents a new methodology and numerical examples for procuring and pricing ancillary services on a regional basis, with an explicit representation of imports in a simultaneous energy/reserve market environment.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"52 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":"124087721","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 optimum active power distribution among power plants is a ongoing problem. It's very important from economic sight when integrated power system is maintained by different companies. For solving this problem in different contributions usually Lagrange method is used. In order to improve the process of optimization, Lagrange method has been expanded. The paper proposes to accept the changes of system active power losses only to determine the power balance. Partial derivatives with regard to the change of power losses has been implemented for the power of separate transmission lines through which it is transported from remote power plants instead of the total power losses of whole system usually used in Lagrange method. Although distributive characteristics of active power in this paper are determined applying Lagrange method, the use of existing control algorithms for the process of active power dispatch confirms the effectiveness of proposed algorithm. The proposed method can be applied for solving the problem of optimum distribution of active power among power plants of EPS serving by different companies in industrial developed countries as USA, Canada, Japan and Germany.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"232 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":"128604415","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}
