First, typical load profiles are extracted by the proposed procedure. Next, features derived from expert knowledge are calculated from the perspectives of adjustability, regularity, and sensitivity of electricity usage. Additionally, the typical load profile's recurrence plot, Markov leapfrog field, and Gramian angle field are created and incorporated into the colourful image as inputs. Then, the evaluation results are obtained by a two-stream neural network fusing multivariate features.

As an advanced power electronics device, the unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) can effectively address these problems. Therefore, the integration of UPQC into power distribution lines can enhance the stability and reliability of the power system, providing higher-quality power supply to meet the needs of both users and suppliers for PQ. The authors utilise the TI TMS320F28377D chip as the control core to construct a simple yet highly efficient UPQC system. Through simulation, the correctness of the voltage and current compensation algorithms has been verified, and the overall system feasibility has been validated using a 100-kVA series-shunt inverter. The experimental results show that the voltage compensation range of the UPQC is 380V ± 10%. During sudden current drops, the imbalance rate can be reduced from 85.5% to 1.32% after controlled compensation. During sudden current rises, the imbalance rate can be reduced from 13.1% to 1.56% after controlled compensation.

Particularly, the two challenges would exacerbate forecasting performance under unexpected events, such as extreme weather and COVID-19 outbreaks. To secure accurate short-term load forecasting for LV and MV networks, this paper customised a Spatio-Temporal Edge-Cloud-coordinated (STEC) approach on a loop training structure—LV networks to MV networks to LV networks. For each LV network, this approach utilises XGboost to learn the relationship between weather data, substation-side loads, and a few accessible customer-side load data to deliver rough forecasting. Then, it adopts the rough forecasting results and accessible data for all LV networks within an MV network to train the convolutional neural networks and gated recurrent unit (CNN-GRU) network. This step provides load forecasting for MV networks and simultaneously refines load forecasting for LV networks by generating the interacting relationship between LV substations of different locations. Case studies reveal that the STEC approach successfully extrapolates the demand-varying information from long-term datasets and improves short-term forecasting performance under both normal scenarios and newly occurring unexpected scenarios for LV and MV networks. The loop training structure halves the forecasting error, compared to classic methodology by utilising the local data only for MV networks.</p>","PeriodicalId":36490,"journal":{"name":"IET Smart Grid","volume":"7 6","pages":"829-842"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/stg2.12181","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143253794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In view of the inherent contradiction between system economy and environmental performance, a multi-objective interval optimization model for collaborative planning of virtual power plants and distribution networks is established with the lowest system investment and operating costs and the lowest carbon emissions as the optimization goals. The established model is transformed into a deterministic optimization problem, which is solved by NSGA-II algorithm.

More specifically, the increasing penetration level of variable renewable energy generation and uncertainty in load demand are key catalysts for these emerging stability issues. A mathematical relationship is established to track the system voltage trajectory with respect to variations in uncertain inputs (associated with wind speed, system load, and wind power penetration levels). Additionally, it demonstrates the consequences of varying uncertain inputs on the short-term voltage response across different potential operating conditions. The theoretical proposition has further been verified by the simulation studies with two test power networks in DIgSILENT PowerFactory software. The simulation results revealed that uncertain injection sources significantly impacted the system voltage at the receiving end. High uncertainty in wind speed and system loads increased voltage recovery variation, causing delays in voltage response during low wind speeds and high system loads. Additionally, increased wind power penetration levels expanded voltage recovery uncertainties, resulting in decreased system voltage and potentially leading to voltage violations and instability at 30% wind power levels. Moreover, the results showed that the system's response time increased, and in some cases, it collapsed due to increased system capacity (>80%) and dynamic load (>75%), as well as encountering a large disturbance under uncertain circumstances.</p>","PeriodicalId":36490,"journal":{"name":"IET Smart Grid","volume":"7 6","pages":"812-828"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/stg2.12180","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141647146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Peer attraction, incentivisation and retention are all critical for practical TE implementation along three adoption stages, starting from independent peer transactions with the centralised market; to decentralised peer coordination; towards distributed peer-to-peer trading.
