Therefore, this work demonstrates that the Conservative Power Theory can be employed to generate the proper reference signals for an active power filter in two-phase three-wire networks. This methodology allows to selectively synthesize reference signals in a flexible manner, providing reactive power compensation, mitigation of unbalance and harmonic currents, as well as contributing to the reduction of neutral current at point of common coupling. The proposed strategy, its implementation, and the control design of a three-leg active power filter are discussed in this paper through simulation results, demonstrating the particularities and advantages of this approach.","PeriodicalId":376719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128586046","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 order to solve this problem, this paper proposed a multi-time scale coordinated scheduling model for the combined system of Wind power-Photovoltaic-Thermal generator-Hydro pumped storage-Battery (WPTHB) by taking advantages of their complementary operation characteristics. The scheduling model is composed of three time scales: the day-ahead scheduling, the 1-hour ahead scheduling and 15-minute ahead scheduling. 1) in the day-ahead scheduling, based on the day-ahead forecast data of Wind-Photovoltaic power and Load demand (WPL), the optimal power outputs of thermal power units in 24 hours are solved from a mix integer linear programing (MILP) model to achieve the minimal operation cost of thermal units. 2) In the 1-hour ahead scheduling, based on power outputs of thermal units solved in the day-ahead scheduling and the 1-hour-ahead forecasted WPL, the hydro pumped storage power output is optimized to achieve its minimal operation cost. 3) In the 15-minute ahead scheduling, based on the day-ahead optimal power outputs of thermal units and the 1-hour ahead optimal outputs of pumped storages, the battery optimal power generation is obtained from a AC optimal power flow model solved by MATPOWER. Simulations of New England system validate that the proposed multi-time scale coordinated scheduling model could fully explore the different power regulation speeds and capacity of hydro pumped storages, thermal power generators and batteries to effectively alleviate WPL variations and achieve economic operation for multi-source generation systems.","PeriodicalId":376719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126954586","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}

Given the timing gap between energy production and consumption in standalone outdoor lighting systems, in this paper, we propose a single-stage solution using GaN-based transistors as main switching devices. When voltage levels are within certain requirements, this topology allows for the parallel connection of PV panel and LED load, eliminating the need for switching relays typically used in this type of converter, thus reducing system complexity and cost. During the daytime, the system operates as a synchronous buck converter, harvesting energy from a solar-powered panel to charge the battery. We use a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm to maximize harvested energy. At night, the circuit acts as a synchronous boost converter, draining the battery to supply the LED load. We developed a 100W prototype for experimental verification. In charging mode, the system presented an efficiency higher than 92% within the entire power range with 97.3% peak efficiency. In driver mode, 95.8% peak efficiency was achieved.","PeriodicalId":376719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123771958","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 circuit configuration of the proposed converter eliminates the right half plane zero (RHPZ) from the DC control-to-output transfer function, making the system minimum phase. Due to the minimum phase behavior, the proposed converter is capable of meeting high load current requirement while maintaining closed-loop stability. Further, the minimum phase behavior of the proposed converter also facilitates simpler controller design and faster dynamic response. The proposed converter can be applied to perform dc/ac and dc/dc power conversions for renewable energy sources. A hybrid PWM switching scheme is developed to realize the same.

An islanded NG is an autonomous system that consists of generation units including renewable energy sources and traditional fuel generators, energy storage systems (ESS) and loads. This paper presents the design and validation of a new optimal energy management (EM) algorithm for an islanded NG. To minimize the generator's operating cost and maximize battery availability at each operating cycle, dynamic programming (DP) framework is employed to solve the underlying optimization problem. The goal of the proposed EM algorithm is to ensure both the use of maximum available solar power and optimal battery state of charge. To meet that goal, the management of the ESS is formulated as a stochastic optimal control problem, where nonlinearities in the battery charging and discharging process are considered. A Markov model is built in order to predict the probability distribution of the solar production used in the stochastic DP formulation. Simulation results are given to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed DP-based approach compared to a rule-based algorithm. Finally, a hardware-in-the-loop system is used to evaluate the real-time operation of the proposed EM algorithms.","PeriodicalId":376719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125557342","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 problem is usually formulated as a single-channel blind source separation. NILM algorithms aim to identify the operating characteristics of individual appliances from aggregate power measurement. Recent advances in deep learning gave rise to many methods that mostly focus on learning a direct mapping from aggregate measurement to individual appliance power, but these methods often suffer from overfitting and don't generalize well. In this paper, we propose a novel NILM method that leverages advances in both supervised and unsupervised learning techniques. The proposed method consists of three stages: a) a Bayesian non-parametric learning-based approach is used to extract appliance states; b) synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) is employed to mitigate the heavy imbalance in switching events present in the NILM problem; and c) lightweight long short-term memory (LSTM) networks are employed for status classification for each appliance. We argue that making the differences before and after the switching event as the input to the networks can reduce complexity of network training and makes the proposed method robust to multi-appliance scenarios. Experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, achieving better performance when compared to recent methods. Furthermore, an ablation study is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of each module of our method.","PeriodicalId":376719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126245112","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 order to optimally utilize of battery storage capacity, this paper emphasizes the power regulation from power electronic inverter interfaced battery storage units. A benchmark low voltage (LV) microgrid is considered and the MAS framework is developed through the well-known graph theory to enable a communication link among the controllable battery inverters where each agent is considered to be embedded to the battery inverter control unit. An optimal linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is designed within a distributed envelop to regulate the power injections into the system from the battery inverters.
