Accurate disconnection times, user-configured, are achieved with the proposed controllers, as well as a complete minimization of the transient recovery voltage (TRV) in the breaker terminals. Details of the performance of two SLVDB configurations are analyzed and compared in order to establish the best design comprising complexity vs. performance.

In these systems, the coordinated operation of interconnected subsystems performing autonomous control is essential to achieve overall system goals. In spite of its importance, the area has received limited attention to date. In this paper, we propose an innovative agent-based coordination approach for coordinating and controlling interconnected subsystems in cyber-physical systems with interdependent issues. The proposed approach can solve negotiation problems with interdependent issues across multiple coupled control domains. We demonstrate our approach by solving a coordination problem where a Combined Heat and Power Plant must allocate electricity for three commercial greenhouses to ensure the required plant yield. Our results show, that our approach is able to balance the individual requirements of multiple coupled control domains and thereby achieve a global equilibrium state for energy allocation and demand.","PeriodicalId":345318,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Latin America (ISGT LATAM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123413590","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 the case of secondary frequency control, these concerns are related with the dimensioning of reserves to cope with variability and uncertainty, and, ultimately, with the compliance with performance standards. One of such a performance standards used in North America is the Control Performance Standard 1 (CPS1), that measures the contribution of a balancing authority to frequency control within an interconnection. This paper proposes an Economic Dispatch formulation that ensures CPS1 compliance in the case of a single balancing authority. The formulation assumes that the ramping capability of units and generation variability and uncertainty are given, and determines the optimal procurement of secondary reserves to comply with CPS1.

The AMB SE is an interesting alternative for distribution systems given the use of a constant Gain matrix, thus simplifying its implementation and significantly reducing the computational time. However, it is crucial to statistically assess its consistency so as to ensure estimated values and variances (outputs) are in agreement with the specified measurements and variances (inputs). This is carried out using a Monte Carlo analysis and a generic 16-bus UK distribution system. Despite the conversion from actual to equivalent measurements required by the AMB SE, as well as the approximations regarding the variances of the equivalent measurements, the results demonstrate that the single-phase AMB SE is as consistent and precise as the TSE.","PeriodicalId":345318,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Latin America (ISGT LATAM)","volume":"9 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126177490","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}

Probability distribution functions (PDFs) of different charging features (e.g., start charging time) are produced for both weekdays and week-ends.

With high charge/discharge ratios one can increase the short term revenue stream from a renewable energy system whereas with a low charge/discharge ratios one can increase the long term benefits. Hence, when compared against nominal charge or discharge operation, the storage system life can be increased/reduced with a low/high charge or discharge ratios. In order to quantify this fact for different storage management strategies, this work analyze the effect on the life of a lead-acid battery system of three scheduling strategies: linear programming, crisp logic and fuzzy logic. The three cases will be compared against a reference strategy which consist on solving a linear optimization problem with perfect forecast of load, energy price and renewable availability. A photovoltaic system is taken as the renewable source and historic values for eight months are used to study the trend in the life of the storage system. it can be concluded that higher storage capacity leads to higher overall benefits, however, this cannot be said for the maximum storage system power, even when considering only the costs benefits, which suggest that a proper strategy and parameter selection can be better than high power ratio.","PeriodicalId":345318,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Latin America (ISGT LATAM)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122404446","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}
