Providing stability is the most important aspect in the electric power industry, especially when renewable energy sources (RES), in particular WPPs are integrated. When integrating a large amount of RES into the power system, there are challenges for the System Operator associated with generation instability and undamped low-frequency oscillations (LFO). The aim of this work is to study the impact of WPPs integration into traditional power system considering the standards and requirements and the use of PSS in the power system to prevent LFO during WPP integration. The object of the study is an installed WPP in the Almaty region with a capacity of 60 MW. WPP with DFIG type connection to the grid. Rotor-angle stability, small signal stability, voltage stability of the electrical system during the integration of the WPP was carried out. It should be noted that when integrating WPPs into electrical networks without revising the existing PSS at traditional power plants, the oscillatory stability of the power system may decrease.","PeriodicalId":371561,"journal":{"name":"2022 57th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133420933","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}

This study investigated the techno-economic feasibility of deploying clean energy sources to support the operation of a hotel zone on Myanmar’s west coast with limited connectivity to the primary utility grid (5 hours per day). When utility power is unavailable, hotel owners must rely on diesel generators to provide electricity for visitors. An independent microgrid comprising photovoltaic generators and battery storage is constructed and analysed. The microgrid system to completely supply 100% of the load is not an economically realistic solution due to higher capital expenditures and a more extended carbon payback period of about 20 years due to higher embodied energy. A hybrid diesel generator and PV array covering the partial load demand of 20% was an effective option with lower energy and CO2 payback periods of 8.1 and 4.6 years, respectively.","PeriodicalId":371561,"journal":{"name":"2022 57th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125652967","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}

When the parallel-connected LED strings are driven by multiple transformers, the magnetic coupling difference and the LED string voltage difference cause backlight current mismatch problem. This imbalance causes the line with low voltage to draw more current hence to create heat spots on the backlight causing reduced lifetime. This problem is observed as backlight fluctuation at the end-user side. In this study, a cost-effective balancing circuit is simulated and implemented for eight parallel-connected LED strings using two transformers in an LLC half-bridge resonant topology while meeting the power demand in a relatively slim design. For the 145W backlight power, the current mismatch was 57.59% when there was an 8% deviation in transformer leakage inductance and a 10% variation between LED string voltages. The temperature difference between the strings was measured as 31. 8°C taken at room temperature with the open back cover. With the balancing circuit, the LED current difference being reduced to 9.99%.

This paper summarizes the implementation of the GPT and demonstrates its compensation in a power system with equipment generating distortion and unbalance. A model of the physical behavior of a variable speed drive (VSD) and an unbalanced load was developed in MATLAB/Simulink in conjunction with the GPT’s approach to measurement and compensation. The application of the GPT and the results of the modeling indicate that it is possible to achieve optimum compensation for power delivery loss, distortion, and unbalance.
