Japanese utilities therefore installed shunt capacitors (SCs) to help voltage profiles and stability meet predicted demands, but some aging SCs will soon need to be replaced. Recent large-scale introduction of Photo Voltaic (PV) systems may lead to voltage stability problems, and there are SC renewal planning problem. This paper addresses the issue of SC replacement with other voltage control equipment. In addition, economic evaluation techniques have caught the interest of power system asset managers. We propose a new fundamental renewal planning method with renewal period cost leveling using the condition age model. Simulations of the IEEJ 30-machine 115-bus system confirm the validity of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"19 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":"127854381","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 this paper, tie-line transient stability is used as an index of transient stability improvement. We propose a method for using NAS battery systems to improve transient stability, where output is determined by H-infinity control theory.

In Denmark, the onshore and offshore wind farms are connected to distribution system and transmission system respectively. The control and protection methodologies of onshore and offshore wind farms definitely affect the transient stability of power system. In this paper, the onshore and offshore wind farms are modeled in detail in order to assess the transient stability of western Danish power system. Further, the computation of critical clearing time (CCT) in different scenarios is proposed to evaluate the vulnerable areas in western Danish power system. The result of CCTs in different scenarios can evaluate the impact of wind power on power system transient stability. Besides, some other influencing factors such as the load level of generators in central power plants, load consumption level and high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission links are taken into account. The results presented in this paper are able to provide an early awareness of power system security condition of the western Danish power system.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"21 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":"114200169","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}

For grid integration of ac type distributed generators, the ac/ac converters need voltage boost function, which can't be achieved by traditional IMC due to its limited input-to-output voltage transfer gain 0.866. Alternatively, reverse power flow operation of IMC can be implemented to meet voltage boost requirement for distributed generation interface. Intuitively, only the generator side power needs to be controlled, since the power will be spontaneously transferred to the grid side due to the lack of energy storage in IMC. However, open-loop operation of grid side (current source side) converter will lead to uncontrollable grid side reactive power. This paper proposes control schemes of IMC with controllable grid side reactive power by means of controlling both the generator and grid side currents coordinately with properly designed control loop. Simulation results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the control schemes for the proposed matrix converter.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"232 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":"114750300","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}

While characteristics such as rise time, fall time and pulse width have been used in the past to analyze PD waveforms, this paper uses Prony's method to fit a digital transfer function to the PD waveform, such that the impulse response of the digital filter approximately matches the waveform. Results show that this technique can be applied to internal, corona and surface partial discharge signals, and a model like this can be used for simulating and interpreting PD waveforms.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"136 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":"116722559","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 proposed Genetic Algorithm with Rank Weight selection is used to search the population for the optimum solution in the network. The chromosome is represented by a string of binary numbers (zeroes, 0s and ones, 1s). By opening one switch in each loop (fundamental loop approach), almost all the solutions will be feasible (radial networks). By doing this the chromosome will only consist of the open switches (Genotype); thus reducing the computation time. Constraints are used to filter the search by means of penalty factors, which guarantees the solution found by the Genetic Algorithm to be feasible.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"45 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":"123472801","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}

Therefore, more accurate load models and their parameters need to be derived with the aid of measured data. Although more sophisticated measurement devices have been developed, the whole measured data such as for 30 seconds should not be used for deriving load model parameters, because the natural change in load structures regardless of voltage- and frequency-dependent load can deteriorate the accuracy of the derived voltage- and frequency-dependent load model parameters. In order to extract measured data that do not include the natural change in load structure, an automatic extraction method suitable for deriving load model parameters using a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) is developed. The suitable data length can be specified using the correlation index between active power load and load bus voltage provided by the FIS. The measured data which are not used for the learning algorithm are used to validate the performance of the developed method.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"101 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":"127190033","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}
