Severity of contingencies varies with pre-fault conditions. Therefore, it is of interest to use a database of analyzed pre-fault scenarios in order to recognize scenarios similar to the current, thus eliminating the need for continual and extensive on-line CSR, limiting this process only to faults identified as critical in similar cases from a database. Smart grid applications have recently been developed in order to perform supervisory functions, with the crucial goal of reducing the risks associated with insecure operating conditions. CSR belongs to this type of applications. This paper presents a novel approach for carrying out CSR, based on data mining. Considering operational statistics related to loading condition changes, a database was built and employed for system state clustering. Data mining techniques are used for real-time similar state(s) recognition. The proposal is tested on the IEEE 39-bus system. Results demonstrate feasibility of the proposal in on-line CSR.","PeriodicalId":330869,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133776865","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}

There are very few attempts that use minute level temporal resolution capturing the highly stochastic nature. This study utilizes high-resolution household load modelling platform called Suricatta to assess the potential for matching in real-time. In this study, 1-minute and 1-hour resolutions data is used to evaluate load matching index of PVs and wind turbines along with storage battery and demand response solutions. The results demonstrate the relatively high relevance of 1-minute data resolution in case of demand response planning and also for wind turbine generations. Besides, the diurnal nature of weather variables together with their negative correlation to the typical Finnish household seasonal consumption emphasizes the need for storage systems and/or demand response plans to enhance matching of distribution system level wind turbine and PV generations.","PeriodicalId":330869,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127673491","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}

A specific voltage variation case is assumed in this research, in which, both overvoltage and undervoltage occur simultaneously. In this paper, a solution to mitigate the aforementioned voltage problems is proposed. Importantly, the proposed control is capable of mitigating both overvoltage and undervoltage simultaneously.

BESSs are already operated in commercial MW-scaled photovoltaic (PV) installations to facilitate power production levelling and participation in auxiliary services, such as frequency and voltage control. The optimization of dispatch schedules has been employed in the past to aid the sizing of BESS and drive down capital expenditures by limiting the installed battery capacity to the minimum required for the application. In this work, an optimized operation strategy is used to reduce replacement costs for the batteries by adapting the state-of-charge and power solicitation to achieve minimized aging. To this end, a simplified model for both calendar and cycle aging of Li-ion batteries is integrated into a mixed-integer linear programming algorithm. Results from a simulation using typical specifications for a BESS operated in a PV power plant in French overseas regions are presented and discussed.","PeriodicalId":330869,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121893963","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 previous works we quantitatively evaluated the performance of five interaction models devised with industrial partners using the agent-based testbed DSIMA. Simulation results showed that these interaction models relying on active network management suffer from a lack of coordination between the distribution and the transmission system operator, activating flexibility simultaneously in opposite directions. This paper introduces a new interaction model fixing this issue based on dynamic access bounds to the network changing throughout the day and preventing the activation of flexibility leading to congestions. This new interaction model is implemented in DSIMA and compared to a model restricting the grid users to a very restrictive but safe access range. Results show that this new model allows to safely increase by 55 % the amount of distributed generation in the network.","PeriodicalId":330869,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122116168","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}

Several simulations allowed to estimate the opportunity from both the capacity and the energy market products. The simulations indicated that an example company could hope a decrease in its energy cost between 3 and 4% by participating in a virtual power plant providing frequency control over a year assuming the aggregator gets 50% of the market income. Other simulations demonstrated the greater profit expected from secondary reserves compared to tertiary reserves for a virtual power plant made of controllable loads.
