Its success will be heavily reliant on accurate real-time information exchange between the grid and the consumers. Customers will be expected to submit energy demand schedules to actively monitor energy price signals and participate in energy bids and respond to energy management signals in real time. This kind of smart grid-user interaction will be overwhelming and can result in consumer apathy. There is therefore a need to develop intelligent systems that will execute all these tasks without the active involvement of the consumer. This paper proposes such an approach. Demand response scheme by smart scheduling of household electrical appliances is presented. The scheduler calculates individual device hourly probabilities that it uses to automatically generate optimal schedules. An optimal schedule is considered to be the one that meets the consumer's deadlines while ensuring energy cost savings to the customer.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125001689","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 aims to study the characteristics of third harmonic voltage and current from generator when connected to balanced load via cable, generator load connection with different generator neutral grounding resistor and generator load connection shunted by zig-zag transformer. Lab scale experiments have been conducted to vary all parameters related to cable capacitor and generator neutral grounding resistor under various combined resistive and inductive load. Cable capacitance which depends on cable length, size and number of parallel cable, combined with load impedance determines the third harmonic current magnitude. The presence of cable capacitance that interact with generator inductance resulted to series harmonic resonance at 9th and 15th harmonic order that causes high 9th and 15th harmonic current flowing between generator and cable capacitor. Generator neutral grounding resistor can effectively reduce the third harmonic in the phase and neutral. However care should be taken not to use very high generator neutral grounding resistor that can also restrict earth fault current that may pose problem to the sensitivity of earth fault protection system. Zig-zag transformer efficiently divert third harmonic current from generator to enter the load but high circulating third harmonic current between generator and zig-zag transformer may pose heating problem to the equipments.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124356828","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 emergency control action is required to stop the system degradation immediately and minimize the impact to the system. In this paper, an adaptive emergency control method is proposed to prevent the system excess frequency decline and even the large blackout. It consists of two main stages. In the first stage, the real-time triggering criterion deciding whether to trigger the adaptive control is presented by predicting the frequency excursion. The second stage aims to designing an optimal emergency control strategy, which eliminates the imbalance power whilst minimizing the control cost. The strategy cannot be limited by the traditional offline control strategy table. The effectiveness of the proposed emergency control method is demonstrated via numerical example on the inter-connected power grid of the North Grid of China and the Central Grid of China. The proposed method can be executed in a simple and efficient way because the complex transient time-domain simulations of large-scale power system can be avoided.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"234 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114541633","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}
