To meet the community's expectation for high electricity reliability and to ensure the healthiness of the equipment, refurbishment and maintenance regime has been migrating from conventional time based preventive maintenance to reliability centered maintenance aided by various proven condition monitoring techniques. Switchgear fault will lead to supply interruption and affect power quality. It is, therefore, important to detect abnormal activities including partial discharge inside the switchgear in the early stage so that expedient action can be taken to avert discharge defect from developing into fault. This paper presents the condition monitoring techniques which have been applied by HK Electric in managing its 11kV switchgear to help achieve a world class supply reliability rating of more than 99.999%.","PeriodicalId":330524,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"42 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123600343","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 generated scenarios can be interpreted as a sample of the future utilisation of the power network, and be used as a basis for a contingency and reliability analysis. However, to use all the generated scenarios as input in a contingency and reliability analysis can lead to quite extensive computational requirements. A data reduction framework, which finds groups of similar scenarios, and only uses the group characteristics as input in a contingency and reliability analysis, is presented and discussed. It is shown that the data reduction framework can reduce the computational requirements by about 90% with little loss of accuracy. However, the success of this approach is highly dependent on which features that are used to quantify similarity between scenarios, and it is shown that choosing a set of nonoptimal features leads to large errors. The feature selection is compared with the choice of clustering algorithm, and shows that the feature selection process has a much large impact on the results than the choice of clustering algorithm.","PeriodicalId":330524,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124907985","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}

In recent years, DR has received more attention as a potentially effective tool for optimum asset utilization and to avoid or delay the need for new infrastructure investment. Furthermore, most of the power networks are under the process of reconfiguration to realize the concept of smart grid and are at the transforming stage to support various forms of DR. However, a number of issues, including DR enabling technologies, control strategy, and control architecture, are still under discussion. This paper outlines novel control requirements based on the categorization of existing DR techniques. More specifically, the roles and responsibilities of smart grid actors for every DR category are allotted and their mode of interactions to coordinate individual as well as coordinative goals is described. Next, hierarchical control architecture (HCA) is developed for the overall coordination of control strategies for individual DR categories. The involved issues are discussed and compared.","PeriodicalId":330524,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121127309","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 paper presents a risk-constrained coordinative dispatching method for BESSs of wind farms, in which the energy storage of the wind farm will be utilized for multiple applications at the same time, including day-ahead forecast error compensation and short-term volatility control, as well as systematic thermal efficiency enhancement and congestion management. Proportion of the BESS utilized for different applications will be optimized with a risk-constrained stochastic optimization method. Also, in order to make full advantage of finite energy storage of wind farm, a coordination dispatch method is added to the optimization method.

VRBs are promising due to the design flexibility, low manufacturing cost for large scale, indefinite lifetime and recyclable electrolytes. VRB modeling is the prerequisite for battery analysis. In previous studies, the effect of temperature on the battery performance is neglected for simplicity. This temperature independent model may lead to large modeling errors when the surrounding temperature varies in a wide range. In this paper, a thermal-dependent electrical circuit model is proposed to describe the charge/discharge characteristics of VRB. The model is validated by the experimental data. State of charge (SOC) estimation is another key problem in management of VRB since an accurate estimation method can well prevent the over-charge/discharge of battery. Therefore, it is necessary to explore an appropriate method for this novel flow battery. Extended kalman filter (EKF) is implemented in this model to achieve a robust SOC estimation. Simulation results show that EKF based estimator is accurate in SOC prediction with temperature variations. The process and measurement errors are minimized by EKF. The estimation of SOC and temperature facilitates optimal battery operation and thermal management.","PeriodicalId":330524,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130874051","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}
