In recent times, applications in time domain have been deeply studied given their potential for getting a quicker failure detection, there are two main techniques which apply signal processing methods in the time domain: Travel-wave and incremental quantities. The theoretical background of symmetrical components to fault analysis is well recognized. Currently, the fault protection algorithms using symmetrical components are based on frequency domain. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the use of symmetrical components in time domain, particularly in asymmetrical faults. A Signal processing algorithm to obtain the instantaneous symmetrical quantities from phases quantities are presented. A study case is simulated to validate the time domain technique and fault analysis permits show the potential of the results to develop protection algorithms.","PeriodicalId":350508,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/IAS 57th Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125199623","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}

Since the cyber channels are exposed to inherent multiplicative noises and time delays, the information exchange among multiple and cooperative DGs may be disturbed in fading communication networks, where fading may either be due to noises, delays, and shadowing from obstacles affecting the wave propagation. As a results, fading makes every DG receives incomplete/imprecise information from its neighbors. To dispel the adverse influences of noises and time delays over fading networks, a washout filter-based distributed noise-resiliency control algorithm is developed for DC microgrids, in which only the current state variable is exchanged among DGs with the local decentralized voltage controller. By introducing stochastic theory and Lyapunov stability function, the criteria for the stability analysis and delays boundedness considering noise interferences is derived to ensure the stability operation of the whole closed-loop DC network. The obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy by a tested DC microgrid in OPAL-RT real-time simulator.","PeriodicalId":350508,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/IAS 57th Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"9 Suppl 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133218282","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}

Traditional field inspections require attendees to be physically present and generally in close proximity. Inspecting artifacts may also require that individual components be serially examined by multiple experts, which increases the risk of transmitting the disease. The authors propose a new approach to forensic inspections aimed at protecting consultants from the biological risk due to COVID-19. This approach takes into account the anticontagion safety protocols established in affected countries around the world.","PeriodicalId":350508,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/IAS 57th Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126026328","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}

To make the dispatch of flexible resources more reasonable, a flexibility evaluation structure is established in this paper, which can guide operation strategy and effectively increase wind power consumption. Firstly, by analyzing the working principle and operating characteristics of various flexible resources, such as each unit, energy storage, energy coupling unit and adjustable load, the flexibility boundary restrictions are quantified. Secondly, the power-gas-heat integrated systems (PGHIS) model is established, and the system available flexibility indexes are proposed to quantitatively evaluate the system flexibility from multiple aspects of sources, storages and loads. Furthermore, the flexibility provided by integrating other energy systems and flexible resources at different dispatching times can be calculated, which further releases the dispatching pressure of the power system. Finally, the case study is verified on the modified IEEE39-NGS20-HS4 test system. The proposed method can effectively assess flexibility and optimize operation of power system with multi-energy coupling.","PeriodicalId":350508,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/IAS 57th Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122396901","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 uncertainties associated with the RESs and loads are modeled using normal, Beta, and Weibull distribution functions. The simulation studies are performed in GAMS and MATLAB for 5 random days of a year. Although DRP increases the total profit of the MG, it can also increase the risk. The simulation results show that RIP is reduced when downside risk constraint (DRC) is considered along with DRP implementation.

Given the likely presence of critical loads, the proper protection of microgrids is of vital importance; however, this is complicated in the case of inverter-interfaced microgrids where low fault currents preclude the use of conventional time-overcurrent protection. This paper introduces and investigates the application of dynamic state estimation, a generalization of differential protection, for the protection of radial portions of microgrids (or distribution networks); both phasor-based and dynamic approaches are investigated for protection. It is demonstrated through experiments on three case-study systems that dynamic state estimation is capable of correctly identifying model parameters for both normal and faulted operation.","PeriodicalId":350508,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE/IAS 57th Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134207283","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}
