Data on reliability were collected from literature between the years 2010–2015 for GRA, Guinness, Koko, Switch-Station & Ikpoba-Dam Feeders (FDRs) respectively. The prediction on the feeders' reliability was carried out using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to determine the FTP and observable trend of the FDRs, while the statistical tools; Root Mean Square Error RMSE and Mean Absolute Percentage Error MAPE were utilized to determine if the error from the forecast falls within acceptable limits. Results obtained indicated reliability values of 0.9786, 0.8306, 0.7707, 0.9467 and 0.9467 for GRA, Guinness, Koko, Switchstation, and Ikpobadam FDRs by the year 2020, and when compared with FTP of 2015, it was observed that GRA FDR showed a fairly constant FTP while the reverse was the case for the duo of observed for Koko and Guinness FDRs. Results from the statistical and ANN tool showed that the error margin falls within acceptable standard of a maximum of 0.5. The results from this study could therefore be useful for system's planning and operations.","PeriodicalId":325937,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PES/IAS PowerAfrica","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123083969","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}

To meet the target, the machine side converter (MSC) is modeled to regulate the stator active and reactive power whereas the grid side converter (GSC) ensures the regulation of the DC link voltage. The pulsewidth modulation (PWM) strategy is used to control the two converters. PI controllers are designed and applied in two reference frames: one oriented with the stator flux and the other with grid voltage, for the MSC and GSC respectively.

The parameters used to compare these methods of protection are the fault clearing time for the primary and secondary protection devices as well as the coordination time intervals for the respective protection methods by weighing it against the acceptable margin stipulated in the IEEE standard 242.

The scheme operates by extracting negative sequence current samples from both primary and secondary line currents. Excitation currents are also extracted from the line currents. The magnitude and phase of the negative sequence current samples are separately decomposed using a 3-level wavelet decomposition. The absolute peaks of detail 3 coefficients are obtained. Magnitude and phase ratios are computed from obtained absolute peak values. The maximum values of the excitation currents are also extracted. The obtained ratios, together with the maximum excitation current values are fed into an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference System (ANFIS) which determines whether there is an inter-turn fault. Where an inter-turn fault is detected, the level of severity is classified. Also, the side (primary or secondary) of the transformer on which the fault has occurred is also determined. Development and testing of the scheme was done through simulations on a 138/13.8 kV, 100 MVA three-phase transformer model using the Matlab software.

With the demand for clean energy on the increase, Grid connected DERs are becoming a viable alternative to supplement the existing fossil fuels generated power from the grid. The placement and sizing of the DERs cannot be done arbitrarily due to cost implications and the need to minimize losses. Various techniques have been researched on how best to place and size DERs, whether connected to the grid or connected directly to the load. This paper reviews the four variants of particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniques which have been used for the optimization of the placement of DERs. The paper will also look at how the implementation of the various PSO techniques in these applications have yielded both successes and shortfalls and further investigate ways the shortfalls have been dealt with.
