A comprehensive survey of the literature on methods used to handle unscheduled flow in the market and the system is provided in this paper. Advantages and disadvantages are discussed with specific regard to the system and operating considerations within the Western Interconnection of the United States bulk electric system. Operating challenges within the Western Interconnection are briefly introduced. An action plan for including any of the proposed unscheduled flow mitigation mechanisms within the Western Interconnection is recommended, which includes guidance from a regulatory agency, infrastructure enhancements, and modeling efforts to determine associated impacts of the most promising methods prior to implementation.","PeriodicalId":311325,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Green Technologies Conference (GreenTech)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116778110","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}

Ordinary least squares and ridge regression are used for the estimation of a mathematical artifact - minor loop flows - for accommodating USFs.

Different from the commonly used hysteresis controllers in traction power systems, the repetitive controller has a fixed switching frequency, which reduces the stress on the power semiconductor devices.

The methodology applied consists in a selective use of Taylor series with the purpose of obtaining a solvable analytical equation that presents similar results to the traditional numerical solution. This simplified solution enables an easier but precise evaluation of the PV voltage generated under specific conditions of temperature and solar radiance. The main benefit of this set of equations is the creation of a tool set that allows a precise evaluation of the yearly voltage profile based in PV datasheet and solar plant location. The expected yearly voltage profile provides valuable information in order to set the inverter voltage operation design in an optimal fashion for maximum yield benefits. These results may provide information valuable to compare and decide whether to install an inverter with or without a DC booster. The technique proposed in this work is validated by comparing the results of the set of equations derived with the traditional numerical solution and the PV manufactured values.","PeriodicalId":311325,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Green Technologies Conference (GreenTech)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121770367","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}

{"title":"Connection of an Offshore Wind Park to HVDC Converter Platform without Using Offshore AC Collector Platforms","authors":"H. Ahmad, S. Coppens, B.

High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Light by ABB is an effective and reliable way to integrate this large scale wind power production to the grid. An expensive component of offshore wind park HVDC Light technology is offshore AC collector platform. The AC collector platform in the offshore wind farm HVDC link contributes significantly to the cost of the overall project. This paper investigates the comparison between two different AC topologies of an offshore wind farm connection to offshore HVDC converter platforms with and without offshore AC collector platforms. The technical feasibility of the omission of an AC collector platform from offshore wind farms connection to HVDC converter platform is investigated for the first time. In the first topology, the offshore wind farms are connected to an HVDC converter platform through offshore AC collector platforms. An offshore AC collector platform is used to collect energy from the wind farm and step up the voltages for transmission to offshore HVDC converter platform. The offshore AC collector platforms contribute significantly to the total cost and technical complexity of the HVDC connection. In the second topology, the offshore AC collector platform is removed from the circuit and the offshore wind farms are connected directly to offshore HVDC converter platform. The topological alteration of an offshore wind farm HVDC link gives rise to some technical challenges. The short circuit analysis and annual energy loss analysis is performed for these two topologies. The type of wind turbine generators, internal wind farm voltages and the distance between the wind farms and offshore HVDC converter platform are quite important factors that are investigated in this study. The short circuit analysis and loss analysis is performed for two types of wind turbine generators i.e. doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) and full conversion (FC) generators. Two internal wind farm voltage levels i.e. 33 kV and 66 kV, and three different distances i.e. 1 km, 5 km, and 10 km between the wind farms and offshore HVDC converter platform are investigated.","PeriodicalId":311325,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Green Technologies Conference (GreenTech)","volume":"190 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132832754","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 impact of these variable generators on system voltage and automatic voltage regulation equipment is not well quantified. In contrast to load which generally has some diversity, PV systems are often non-diverse over small geographic areas. Variability caused by PV can range from relatively slow changes in system voltage to high frequency impacts on real and reactive power. These changes have the ability to impact the operation of a distribution circuit from a protection, voltage control and load prediction/modeling point of view. This paper utilizes information from high resolution data acquisition systems developed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and deployed on a high-penetration PV distribution system to analyze the variability of different electrical parameters. High resolution solar irradiance data is also available in the same area which is used to characterize the available resource and how it affects the electrical characteristics of the study circuit. This paper takes a data-driven look at the variability caused by load and compares those results against times when significant PV production is present. Comparisons between the variability in system load and the variability of distributed PV generation are made. Additionally, the potential impacts of high-penetration PV on voltage regulation equipment such as capacitor banks and load tap changing transformers are quantified.","PeriodicalId":311325,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Green Technologies Conference (GreenTech)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116990784","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 probability density function and cumulative density function are calculated in this method. The presented method provides a significant reduction in the size of ESS in terms of power and energy capacity which consequently reduces a considerable capital cost of ESSs for applications in wind turbine generators. The main goal of this design is to reduce the unnecessarily large capacity of ESS which causes the high cost of ESS..
