A time series model, based on a combination of convolutional and recurrent neural networks, provides a predictive foundation. This basic estimation is enriched with predictions of wind and solar power generation in Germany, derived from a convolutional neural network feeding on multi-dimensional grid weather data.

In this paper, a planning model is proposed, which aims at minimizing the total social cost under the constraints introduced by the renewable energy development strategies, the combination of flexible power supplies, and the scale of fossil energy development. After discussing the weaknesses of current generation expansion planning methods, a research methodology is proposed. Then, based on the idea of decomposition and coordination, a bi-level generation expansion planning model aiming at the largest proportion of non-fossil energy and the lowest social cost is built. The upper level is a power source investment decision-making problem, taking the lowest investment cost as objective function and considering various constraints such as power system operation, resources, policies and so on. The lower level is a probabilistic production simulation problem considering the characteristics of renewable energy. Afterwards, a multi-layer iteration optimization algorithm is used to simulate development paths of power supplies with different proportions of non-fossil energy. At last, based on the data of a province in China, the proposed planning model and optimization method are simulated and verified.","PeriodicalId":337478,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126951555","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}

Then the feature and occurrence causes of the SOV are analyzed by revealing the variation characteristics of the transient voltage and current. To explore the mitigation effect of this SOV when protection devices are used, an OWF high frequency model considering the pre-strike and re-ignition characteristics of VCB is built in PSCAD/EMTDC and verified by the measured results.

However, SOC estimation with high accuracy is challenging because of the complex internal characteristics of the lithium-ion battery which is changed by different environmental situations. This paper develops an accurate method for the state of charge (SOC) estimation of a lithium-ion battery using random forests (RFs) algorithm. However, the accuracy of RFs highly depends on the appropriate selection of trees and leaves per tree in a forest. Thus, this research develops an enhanced model with RFs based gravitational search algorithm (GSA). The aim of GSA is to find the best value of trees and leaves per tree. The robustness and accuracy of the proposed model are tested under different temperatures. The model training and validation are executed using federal urban driving schedule (FUDS). The effectiveness of the proposed method is compared with the conventional RFs and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) and optimal RBFNN-GSA models using different statistical error terms and computational cost. The proposed RFs based GSA model offers higher robustness and accuracy in reducing RMSE by 55.4%, 67.4%, and MAE by 39.1% and 78.1% than conventional RFs and RBFNN based GSA model, respectively at 25°C.","PeriodicalId":337478,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"268 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122832676","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 country has plenty of renewable energy resources which can possibly be exploited to generate electricity. In spite of the abundance in resources, renewable energy resources are not popular or commonly used in South Sudan. Solar energy has shown success in the domain of electric power generation. Light from the sun, or solar radiation, is the “fuel” which powers solar energy technologies. Therefore knowing the potential of solar radiation at a location, an exercise known as solar resource assessment (SRA), is very important for the selection, design and accurate economic analysis of solar energy technologies for power generation. The research work presented in this paper aims at investigating solar energy resource potential in South Sudan, to help identify potential sites for future solar power plants. Radiation data for 20 locations, covering the period from 2005 to 2018, are requested through Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service Radiation (CAMS-RAD) Service user interface. CAMS-RAD Service uses Heliosat-4 method to calculate solar energy radiation at the earth's surface from Meteosat satellite images. Output data are evaluated and analyzed and annual daily average global (G) and direct (B) solar irradiation calculated for each of the 20 locations together with long term average monthly global irradiance. Results show that 99% of locations receive annual average global irradiation above 5.0 kWh/m2. The solar resource in South Sudan is considered favorable for the development of photovoltaic solar power plants. However, it might not be economically viable or only marginally so for concentrated solar systems.","PeriodicalId":337478,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122009312","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}
