The method is based on multiblock principal component analysis (MB-PCA), an extension of PCA that allows the underlying relationship between data sets to be identified. MB-PCA divides the large-scale system data into several blocks thus enhancing the model's ability to explain and diagnose power system events. Also incorporated into the method is a moving window technique. This allows the method to update over time enhancing power system situational awareness, by using data that best represents the current condition of the time-varying power system. Using Hotelling's T2 and Q statistics allows the method to detect specific power system events with the main emphasis placed on the detection of power system islands. Further diagnostic approaches, such as contribution plots, are used to locate and isolate the detected events. The reliability of the proposed method is demonstrated using simulated case studies showing the method's ability to detect a genuine islanding event and its avoidance of nuisance tripping.","PeriodicalId":345050,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127216542","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}

Isolated microgrids technologies which integrate large scale of renewable energy resources, energy storages, flexible loads, traditional fossil-fuel generators and advanced electric electrical devices have been seen as the answer the above problems. In addition, a closed-loop based energy management operation framework is needed to accommodate the fluctuated renewable energy generation with a comprehensive energy management optimization strategy considering integer variables/discrete constraints and complex operation constraints in generators and energy storage models. To this end, this paper proposed a model predictive control (MPC) based energy management and operation framework for isolated microgrids where the optimal energy management for the microgrid is formulated as a mixed integer quadratic programming problem (MIQP).

The analysis is further extended to explore the contribution of ESS to improve transient stability by using the same ESS controls and parameter setting. The results demonstrate as expected that ESS can provide an enhanced primary frequency response to reduce the drop in frequency nadir. Small signal stability analysis shows that frequency control coupled with active power control does not affect the damping of interarea modes while voltage control can reduce the damping of these modes. The results also indicate that ESS installed to provide primary frequency support can also contribute to the improvement of transient stability of the system.

A combination of single-ended and double-ended algorithms based on higher frequency impedance estimation are utilized to locate the faults within the tapped line.

Although differential pricing has been widely used in retail sectors such as broadband and mobile phone services to offer ‘right prices’ to ‘right’ customers, existing research in smart grid retail pricing mainly focus on an uniform dynamic pricing (i.e. all customers are offered at the same prices). In this paper, we take the first step towards an optimal differential pricing for smart grid retail pricing based on customer segmentation. A differential pricing framework is firstly presented which consists of customer segmentation analysis, and a two-level optimal differential pricing problem between the retailer and each customer group. At the upper level, a pricing optimization problem is formulated for the retailer while at the lower-level, an optimal tariff selection problem is formulated for each customer group (e.g., price sensitive, price insensitive) to minimize their bills. By comparing with a benchmarked uniform ToU, simulation results confirmed the feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed optimal differential pricing strategy.","PeriodicalId":345050,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"189 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132278957","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}

However, dependencies between commodities make optimisation of such a system generally hard. This paper presents a planning-based multi-commodity energy management system that scales linearly with the number of commodities and connected devices. We apply our approach to balance the three phases in a low voltage grid while charging a fleet of electric vehicles. Simulation results show that our approach is capable of balancing the three phases in this network to enhance the delivered power quality. This balancing also results in a decrease of distribution losses of up to 41.2% compared to a control strategy that does not consider multiple commodities and phase balancing.","PeriodicalId":345050,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131579584","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 level of model detail can potentially reflect realistic means of reliability indices. In that context, this paper proposes an advanced aging failure model for overhead conductors, incorporating the effects of loading and weather conditions into the unavailability calculation. The Arrhenius life-temperature relationship is used to model the lifetime of conductors as a function of temperature. The life measure of the Arrhenius model is adopted as the scale parameter of the Weibull probability distribution. The approach to estimate parameters of the resulting Arrhenius-Weibull distribution is described in detail. Unavailability calculations are performed using the proposed aging failure model for a distribution test system. The results show that if the maximum continuous operating temperature is exceeded, the unavailability of overhead conductors increases depending on both time period, where the conductor temperature is higher than the threshold, and conductor age.","PeriodicalId":345050,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"344 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131600299","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 performance of the developed WR-PMU is assessed by means of a PMU calibrator, with a focus on the synchrophasor phase estimation in steady state conditions. The results show that the WR-PMU exhibits similar/better performance when compared to an equivalent PMU synchronized using the GPS. To further evaluate the developed WR-PMU, its performance is assessed in a WR network composed by two WR-PMUs connected to a single WR switch.

The two stage approach enables separate modelling of the marginal distributions and correlation structures and is shown to be able to provide a good representation of the statistical behaviour of measured electric household load. The fitted models are then used to stochastically generate load profiles and assess the peak shaving potential and required size of an energy storage unit.
