State estimators have conventionally filtered out so-called bad data or outliers, but in recent years a number of attacks and mitigation mechanisms have been proposed involving deliberate injection of bad data. In this paper, we introduce a constrained attack mechanism which will be feasible where the communication channel for measurements is authenticated and integrity-protected. We demonstrate that re-ordering of measurements is sufficient to cause errors in state estimation or preventing convergence and propose an algorithm to introduce such attacks. Based on this, we introduce two security metrics to quantify the effort required for sparse and minimum magnitude re-ordering attacks, respectively, in the form of security indices based on the assumption of the adversary's full or partial knowledge of previous measurement vectors. We demonstrate success by presenting the Mean Square Error (MSE) for the attacks described and also evaluate the attack model for both the standard IEEE-14 and 30-bus test cases.","PeriodicalId":345050,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126088095","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}

Norm index for Islanding detection is obtained by summing the norm ratio index of each of the three phases.

The energy park consists of three wind turbines with a total generating capacity of 6MW and 2MW of solar photovoltaic panels. A maximum power export limit of 5 MW to the grid is enforced. The optimal size of the BESS was calculated to maximize the profit made by the energy park through participating in the electricity spot market. To do this, a linear optimization model embedded within a net present cash flow approach was developed. Optimal size of the battery storage capacity and optimal power rating of the inverter for different battery costs assumptions were examined.","PeriodicalId":345050,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127486471","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}

Because they require power levels greater than the usual equipment and remain connected for long periods during recharges, EVs can affect the quality of the power supply. In addition, some vehicle brands have the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) functionality, which is the possibility of returning the energy stored in the battery to the electric grid. Characterizing these behaviors will allow the Electric Power Distributors to understand the operation of these technologies connected to their networks and to plan the necessary adaptations so that it supports a massive penetration.

Although load forecasting has been extensively studied over the past several decades, the scientific community has not yet paid much attention to industrial load forecasting. The electricity demand of factories depends on many factors, of which some are uncommon or not as important in the classical load forecasting models. For instance, the scheduled processes and work shifts are very important to forecasting short-term industrial loads. In this paper, we offer some insights into modeling industrial loads. We develop a set of multiple linear regression models for an Italian factory that manufactures transformers.

The wide-area controller is then designed to improve both first swing and post-fault damping stability of the system using available controllable assets in the network, such as FACTS devices. The simulations are performed on the simplified and full model of the Australian national grid, and the controllers have been designed and applied on the available Static Var Compensators (SVCs) in the network.

The power fluctuation process caused by a disturbance is divided into three stages, namely before, during and after the disturbance, and the dynamic equation for each stage is established and the variation of the state point is derived in this study. Based on the theory of the distribution of impact power in the power systems, the change of the tie-line power of a two-area interconnected power system after a disturbance is analyzed. After a disturbance, the tie-line power takes on damped oscillation of inter-area oscillation mode, and the steady-state power value is determined by the total inertia time constant of the generators in both areas. Meanwhile, the expression of power fluctuation, which is similar to the step response of a second-order system and the formula for the peak power during the first power swing are derived. The peak power is mainly determined by the ratio of total inertia time constants of the two-area power system's units and the damping ratio of the inter-area fluctuation mode. The result effectiveness of the proposed equations is verified by the simple system simulation method and the analysis on the generator-tripping contingency of the North China Power Grid and Central China Power Grid interconnected system. The study's conclusions are helpful for operators and engineers to master dynamic characteristics of power fluctuation on AC tie-lines of two-area interconnected power systems. The study provides the scientific basis for arranging operating schemes and control measures of interconnected power systems.","PeriodicalId":345050,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132059112","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 work in this paper employs a three-phase optimal power flow formulation to determine generic feeder hosting capacities for load and generation. Various hosting capacities are assessed, with the purpose of providing distribution system planners with critical information regarding the limits of their feeders.
