As a result, maintaining frequency stability will be more and more challenging with traditional approaches. Even though renewable sources integration would jeopardise the grid stability, it also presents several opportunities as well. For example, converter-interfaced generators can bid in real-time electricity markets (RTEM) and provide short-time dispatch to minimise load-generation mismatch. In this paper, an integrated approach that accommodates discrete automatic generation control (AGC) system with a regulation mileage framework and RTEM model to balance generation and consumption is proposed. The RTEM model is assumed to have a five-minute dispatch trading interval which is to some extent comparable to the discrete AGC system. Furthermore, a fractional order PID (FOPID) controller is equipped in the AGC system whose parameters are tuned using a novel metaheuristic-based optimisation called Lichtenberg Algorithm (LA). The proposed framework is tested in a three-area system under several operating conditions to reveal the improvement in the dynamic performance of the system.

This is undesirable as it curtails PV interconnection of both residential and commercial customers in the secondary networks at a time when there are record numbers of interconnection requests by utilities' customers. The authors analyse the limitations on HC due to transformer loading and degradation considerations. Then, the paper proposes a battery energy storage system (BESS) dispatch strategy that will mitigate the limitation on distribution feeder HC by distribution transformers. Three scenarios of HC were simulated for a test network—HC evaluation without restrictions by the distribution transformer (scenario 1), HC evaluation with restrictions by the distribution transformer (scenario 2), and HC evaluation without restriction by the distribution transformer, and with the implementation of the proposed BESS mitigation strategy (scenario 3). Simulation results show that transformer lifetime is depleted to about 6% of expected lifetime for unrestricted HC in scenario 1. Curtailing the HC by 32% in scenario 2 improves the lifetime to 149% of expected lifetime. Implementing the proposed BESS in scenario 3 improves the transformer lifetime to 127% and increases the HC by 62% above the curtailed value in scenario 2, and by 10% above the original HC in scenario 1. The BESS strategy implementation produced cost savings of 49% and 27% of the transformer cost in scenarios 2 and 3, respectively, due to deferred transformer replacement. Conversely, there is a 1600% replacement cost incurred in scenario 1, which underscores the need for a mitigation strategy. The proposed BESS strategy does not only improve the HC of a distribution feeder but also increases a distribution transformer's lifetime leading to replacement cost savings.</p>","PeriodicalId":33288,"journal":{"name":"IET Energy Systems Integration","volume":"6 4","pages":"465-478"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/esi2.12143","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140233588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas grid-connected VSCs inevitably operate under multiparameter uncertainty, which may result in overly optimistic or even incorrect estimations of stability margins, thereby posing potential risks to system operation. To address this issue, an interval small-signal stability analysis approach is proposed to investigate the system stability under multiparameter uncertainty. First, the interval state-space model of the grid-connected VSC system is constructed based on interval symbolic linearisation. Furthermore, the interval eigenvalue decomposition is introduced to calculate the interval eigenvalue distribution of the interval state-space model.

However, power systems and heat systems often belong to different management entities, and there are industrial barriers such as information privacy, operational differences, and target differences between them, which leads to less applicability of centralised SE methods. In addition, the robustness of existing distributed SE methods for IEHS is not satisfactory. To this end, a distributed robust state estimation (DRSE) model for IEHS based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is proposed. Firstly, by introducing auxiliary state variables and measurements, a robust linear SE model based on weighted least absolute values (WLAV) is proposed. Then, second-order cone constraints composed of auxiliary state variables are added to the SE model, leading a SOCP-based robust SE model. Finally, the ADMM algorithm is used to solve the proposed SOCP-based robust SE model.
